[Clipart] help us submit more cliparts!!!

[Greg Bulmash]

Take Kamsart off that list, please. They're a bunch of lying cheats.
Their stuff isn't public domain. 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
http://extortionletterinfo.com/imageline.htm for detailed information
on his tactics. If stuff from there gets on OCAL, it could cause
MASSIVE trouble for both OCAL and OCAL users.
