These guys at CNN used a photo taken by me without proper credit. I am sure it is not their fault, as they got it through DRA

Yet another person who has ripped stuff off of Ernest. Remember that real estate site that lifted your current projects table, code included, and put it on their site? Unreal!

OMG! I just saw, Ernest, that the photo was provided by the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce. Remarkable as I distinctly remember, from the Raleighing days, getting a cease and desist email from that very Raleigh Chamber of Commerce for using something on their site.

Please look into it. If they had no rights it ISN’T OK and you deserve compensation.
