Very clever how they have taken time to remove watermarks from my images, yet still use my source code and css :-X
example
Code: [Select]
<p align="left"><span class="kitzsmall">Pins A + B for adsl extension<br />
Pins 2 + 5 would be used for telephone extension as normal.</span><font size="-2"><br />

Sense telecom at sensetechnology.co.uk has today been issued with a formal notification of breach of copyright and given 14 days to respond.
The article in dispute is "Increase your ADSL speeds" . . .
One quick look and I had a sense of "where have I seen that, before now"! :o
They've even used the image that Clarity (https://www.claritybroadband.co.uk/) had granted you permission to use. :-X

The links are still there to pages that do not exist .......(they did not rob!!)
i.e. router linestats, that goes to frogstats.php on kitz and becomes a missing file on their site !!!! :)
Great coincidence of using the same filename.

Kitz only one of your pictures has a watermark and that was very easy to remove, I simply selected the area directly below and copied it upwards in paint.net.
A water mark like the one attached will be a lot harder to remove, I followed the simple guide here (http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/paintnet/ss/text-watermark.htm#step1) to add that. No doubt there's automated programs for adding watering marks to speed things up.

I think I was more amused that they had removed the watermark, but not bothered to change the source.
Its gone now.
