But taking me to task because you either don't think it should be that way, or you just don't believe me, is kind of missing the point.

If you think I'm wrong about what the law says, go do your own research and satisfy yourself that you're right ... all I tried to do was make people aware of the issues. You can choose for yourself to what degree you're going to let the opinions of others affect what you create.

About 35 years ago, I did something similar ...

I found a photograph I really liked and I based a painting on it, changing minor details that clashed with my sense of composition. It was of a woman sitting on a chair, facing away and looking backwards at the camera. I spent a long time on it and really liked it once I was done.

I showed it to a gallery owner along with some more original works and he thought it was the best of them. But he said "That woman looks familiar, w ]]> http://alberich.deviantart.com/journal/Scraping-Barnacles-226526496 http://alberich.deviantart.com/journal/Scraping-Barnacles-226526496 Fri, 21 May 2010 15:49:30 PDT Scraping Barnacles nonadult journals/personal alberich http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/l/alberich.jpg?3 Copyright 2010-2013 ~alberich
It simulates flying a fusion powered lander around an icy moon, capturing objects in orbit and docking with a rotating space station. I wrote a sub-pixel positioning, rotating and scaling engine so that objects wouldn't visibly jump from pixel to pixel when moving slowly, which is actually quite noticeable at the low resolutions used by cel phones.

It implements real-world orbital mechanics and you fly the ship by tilting the phone ...

Strictly speaking, this is not possible for a number of reasons, although I know many people do a quite credible job and no one seems to notice the difference.

But imagine holding a cup upside down over a mirror. (We're all more or less visually oriented people here, so I am not going to try to prove it with illustrations but if any of this is unclear go ahead and try it out literally.)

So in a haze of painkillers, I logged on to DA and found 2K+ messages ... took me a while to realize what it meant. So thanks to :devhelewidis: for noticing and thanks to all the people who've left congratulations.
