I loved this story when I first saw it. The moral of it is, never post anything anywhere (especially high-res, and non watermarked) on a website as public as flickr, unless you want people to take take take until you find find find the photo all over the world.
I guess it's their loss... maybe it pinched a nerve with them. Perhaps iStock/Getty felt that this was an insult to their collection, rather than a way to drive additional traffic (referral/affiliate commission free) to their website. If anyone ever hotlinked my stock images from my personal website, I would just see it as free advertising. They're watermarked like crazy, and optimized for small sizes, so it's not like it would be a bandwidth buster.
YES! I had a Canon that we bought at the store Lechmere's!!! That store is LONG GONE. It was a 486, and the thing still works. It's got DOS and Windows 3.1 on it, and the original hard drive is still working. Amazing...
All of google and this is the only instance of text I could find on Canon desktop computers.

Any press is good press, right?
