Wow, I just Gogled eclipse 2012 + all images similar to ... + last 24 hours and got this (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=eclipse+2012&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=XLb&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&prmd=imvnsu&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=u7O6T6rmD4yU8gOLlOTHCg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CFcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1600&bih=743#q=eclipse+2012&tbnh=121&tbnw=216&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=ShG&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&sig=103779208694678668579&tbs=simg:CAQSEgkz6IICW0fmLSHykCbY7DIG_1g,qdr:d&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnsu&source=lnt&sa=X&ei=B7S6T-OkBMaX8gOz6MmTCg&ved=0CCAQpwUoAQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=248b561f7c907506&biw=1600&bih=741), its all over Facebook too!
I don't know what's being said about copyrights, I guess a lot of people will be claiming NASA ownership and the like.
It is a great image :)

Oh my... The recent eclipse caused A4's render of an eclipse to be stolen. But at least it's everywhere.
yeah it was on reddit :D
Brian Blessed tweeted it, awesome :-). It's a nice picture A4size, I hope word spreads that you created it too.

Awesome squared!
who is Brian Blessed ?
Brian Blessed is a British actor... best known for playing larger than life characters...appeared in the Flash Gordon movie as Prince Vultan.
Oh... Ok. Thanks for the answer
Brian Blessed was King Richard in Blackadder 1. I do also have Flash Gordon on DVD, which is kind of a B-grade classic.

Dear all the members of Terragen Forum,
It's extremely regrettable that my ECLIPSE was used here on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=415875028443345&set=a.415504178480430.96342.255079767856206&type=1&theater) without my permisson.
I can't say what I have in mind since I'm not good at English.
In the case that you found any websites that infringe my copyright,including the link above,if possible,it would be very helpful if you could warn any copyright infringers not to use my work instead of me.
Moreover,informing me of the sites via e-mail will be helpful as well.
In a way,it may be a good thing because this undesireable meme gave Terragen2 a high profile.
But at the same time,I'm very comfused...
Sincerely yours,

I hope you weren't offended by my posting this here, but I felt that your work deserved proper recognition. I have posted links back to your deviant page when I came across the image being used.
I think it is a testament to your skill that so many people believe it to be a real space photo. If it had been one of my images I would have been very happy.
They should have asked your permission but they didn't.
I'm not aware of it being used commercially but if it has been you would have a very clear claim for some recompense.
Try to find a way to take advantage of the situation, you probably have the greatest exposure a Terragen artist has ever had. That "Kevin" page has been shared 68,000 times !!! And there are many other instances of it being used outside facebook.
Well done and take some pride, you done good.
Richard
Brian Blessed was also PC 'Fancy' Smith in Z Cars, which I remember watching as a kid. I guess there wouldn't be too many TGers who'd remember Z Cars. A black and white TV cop show.
While it is regrettable that people are using your image without proper credits, I think you deserve congratulations for the sudden popularity of this great image of yours!

Totally pointless trying to do anything about having your picture removed once it is the public domain, I have had images of mine used on other websites for years, no point getting upset about it, just accept that there are some twats around, move on and enjoy the praise.
It's a wonderful image.
Congratulations.
I also think that it is disgraceful that people are using your image without crediting you.
If the image is used commercially without your consent you should send them an invoice and follow up with legal if necessary.
It is possible to watermark images.

Might be worth the price of admission.
I re-posted the link that was shared on FaceBook. It had your credits included. Your work is great!

not so much stolen as no one is making any money on it....more like "
shared" as is the new custom with images...
if you don't want them shared don't post is what I tell folks who complain of image theft...it's the
Wild West on the net to some degree still....we wouldn't allow it at Renderosity once a complaint was recieved but FaceCrack is another animal entirely
Bobby, do you work with Renderosity? I have some questions about that stuff, it would be nice to ask someone that I know is a real person. Do you mind if I PM you?
Sorry to highjack.
