After careful consideration, all the discussion relating to the copyrights over the (non)copyrighted (fan)artwork (over 80 posts!) has been removed in an effort to get this topic back on track: The creation of a cool homebrew machine. Life is too short to linger on these things. I think this was all blown way out of proportion, but I hope we can move past it.
If not, I will move to close this thread.
Thanks.
