Maybe I'm a bit naive but what is actually the problem ?  You 
borrowed images from other sources to illustrate the 4000 
article. Not your images in the first place. You borrowed a 
translation I made of the first magazine article on the 4000 in 
the Dutch magazine Grafisch Weekblad that I send to this list. So 
did probably ten other site owners that are offering Epson news. 
Grafisch Weekblad that made the original text has the copyright, 
to set the record straight. So I didn't complain. The offender(s) 
you are now confronted with do almost the same as you did but 
they do not move the pics but give their customers the info where 
to look. Much more civil in a way.
