Hi,
I bought a text-book for one of my college courses, and lo-and-behold, one
of my renderings (Grade One), was in the book.  I was so surprised and
happy,
considering it was the only non-winning image among other IRTC
winners/runner ups.

The book is called: Computers:
Tools for an Information Age 6th Edition by H.L. Capron
ISBN: 0-201-61211-9
http://www.prenhall.com/capron

Problem is, I was never told that my image would be appearing in the book.
Is this somehow breaking one of the IRTC rules or violating my copyrights?
All the files
included for the submission included a statement from  me regarding
permission of image/file, usage.
I have written on my homepage's gallery and in the IRTC files (.POV, .TXT,
etc.) that if
you wish to use the image, you must first contact me to get my permission.

Some of the images included in the book are (from the IRTC):

- Roger, Gary and Bob by Jeane-Marie Haerens and Fabien Mosen
- Untitled (image of Ice Cream Cone) by Nathan O'Brien (
- Gomusic by Gena Obukhov (not sure if this is from IRTC)
- Toco Toucan by Ian and Ethel MacKay
- Pocketwatch by Kevin Odhner
- Untitled (bucket of Sea Shells) by Steve Gowers (Summer theme)
- Untitled (ship image) by Nathan O'Brien (Elements theme)
- Grade One by Gautam Lad
- Untitled (plane image) by Ian Armstrong (Flight theme)
- Admiral Watch by Adrian Baumann
- Ode to Prianesi by Nathan O'Brien

My question to these artists: Did you receive any notice from the
publisher/author? If not,
do you think they violated your copyrights by using the image without your
permission?

Also, I don't plan on taking any legal action or anything; it's just that
I'd like to know (in advance)
where my work is being used.


Thanks!
Bye!
