Look here:

I think this is Adam Heinbuch's image...I saw it a while ago while snooping about in the Behaviour Group's file directories...

Well, it's been used with no credit given...

IIRC, there was a "� 199X Adam Heinbuch" or somesuch on the original image.

The copyright was indeed sliced off the bottom... it was copyrighted to Adam, Tim and someone else, IIRC.

OK...Adam says that he gave that person permission to use the chart, so all is well.

I don't understand the issue. Those images of starships belong to Paramount, I don't see how someone can take the images created by the Paramount Star Trek artists and copyright it for themselves. It's like when I've gotten letters from people asking to use pics on my site. For example, a person goes to my starship images page and wants to use my Sovereign-class pic for their own site. I hold no rights to the image, I or anyone else can't say if he or she can use it. If it's an image I created myself on the other hand I would expect a person to ask before using it. Of course that's if it's my original art.
Nearly all the starship images in this pic are scannable out of a Trek book except a couple. Just because someone made the LCARS on the side and top doesn't mean that they can place a � on stuff that is already copyrighted by Paramount.

Some of you might agree with me some will not. I'm not going to change my opinion though just to go along with the group though.

The copyright is with regards to the work put into the composite image, in this case.
