However, if anyone wants to agree to pay all legal costs in defending the use of this image - and it is /highly/ likely that there will be some if this image is used - then I say go ahead! I'm sure Danny can arrange for a contract to be drawn up with that agreed. I'm not sure of costs in the US - but I guess a few thousand as a down-payment for initial legal advice would be sensible too.
I won't make any down payment, but I'd most likely be willing to sign such a contract. Have Danny send me the details.
If I had read further in this long thread I would have seen this and could have avoided my own comments which were very similar. I don't know about this contract; perhaps some kind of indemnity bond?
I don't always agree with you on these copyright law issues, but at least I need to give you credit for looking up the laws that you talk about. I can't do that with everybody who makes comments on this subject.
