[Clipart] Fwd: misuse of one of our images

[Jarod Russel]

I am afraid I don't have enough time to go through his 260 cliparts. I 
simply clicked a bunch of his submission randomly. Every of those 
submissions has an external link of a website in it. Thats why I 
suggested to check better the whole collection.

Here are other images from radicalgraphics

We had a discussion here on the list about the red pirate ship image 
quite a while ago. If I remember right radicalgraphics stated that 
anyone could have uploaded this image to their website and that the 
rights aren't clear.

I am also concerned about this graphic

In the description is stated it is converted from a CD. They might be 
more than this one.

Other cliparts I have checked where from wiki.commons or wp-clipart. 
Those should be fine.
