I don't believe it is kamsart that is at fault; if you research up on George Riddick he's been doing this threatening for years from all sorts of sites. The only reasons I removed kamsart from the wiki is "potential" clipart copyright infringement, and because Greg asked long ago and it was never completed. It's better to have them off the acquisition list than to confuse other users, by keeping it on. Due to the quality of clipart on that site, I don't think we are missing out on anything anyway. Greg does way better clipart than what's available on wmfclipart. I did start a blacklist on the clipart acquisition page. No reason given other than "don't use". <a href="http://www.openclipart.org/wiki/Clipart_Acquisition#Black_Listed" target="_blank">http://www.openclipart.org/wiki/Clipart_Acquisition#Black_Listed</a> I have listed them in the blacklist for the reasons listed above, not due to that I think Kamsart OR Karamveer Singh has done anything wrong. I don't consider them spammers, nor do I consider them having set Greg up. Why was this added to the email? This is Andy's work. from what I can tell it has nothing to do with the discussion.<div class="im"> <a href="http://www.openclipart.org/detail/67" target="_blank">http://www.openclipart.org/detail/67</a> </div> I'm enjoying being part of OCAL again. :) Have a good day!

I've asked that they be removed onlist before because of this. I'm getting sued for copyright infringement over images I got from there. There are HUNDREDS of pieces on that site that George Riddick claims are his copyrighted works, and if he catches people using them, he demands thousands of dollars to settle the infringement claim. See <a href="http://extortionletterinfo.com/imageline.htm" target="_blank">http://extortionletterinfo.com/imageline.htm</a> for detailed information on his tactics. If stuff from there gets on OCAL, it could cause MASSIVE trouble for both OCAL and OCAL users. - Greg On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 12:00 PM, Jon Phillips <a href="mailto:jon@rejon.org" target="_blank"><jon@rejon.org></a> wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre>Well, we aren't quite at 30K cliparts, but a quick way we can boost up to 30K is to add from external sources! <a href="http://www.openclipart.org/wiki/Clipart_Acquisition" target="_blank">http://www.openclipart.org/wiki/Clipart_Acquisition</a> Its easy! 1. Find some source at that link like a PDF 1.5 confirm the source is actually released into the public domain for each image. 2.

When all done, upload to <a href="http://openclipart.org/multiupload" target="_blank">http://openclipart.org/multiupload</a> making sure to add the source url in the description 6.
