Why some of Gold Partners do not respect copyrighted materials?

Two days ago, the friend of mine, sent me the invitation he got from one of Microsoft Gold Partners in learning field here in Israel. This invitation was to attend Silverlight course of one day. Pretty good, however I was shocked by the graphic material, they used to promote it. It seemed to be my picture from DevAcademy II. I do not teach this course and I even did not know, that it exists, however they, probably, used the copyrighted imaginary without any permission neither from my, nor from Microsoft side. What’s the insolence!

I want to believe, that I’m wrong, that it is not my picture or, if it is, they got appropriate permissions, however I sent a request to legal department to shed light on this bad issue…

    Justin, me, personally, have no problem with it. However I think we should lound such cases in order not to let it happen again. Maybe I’m naive person, but I believe in my truth and want to make the world better

    Tamir,

    Couldn’t you just speak with the .Net guy at Sela and work this out?

    People our level shouldn’t air this type of dirty laundry out when it can easily be resolved behind closed doors.

    Seriously, This has happened to me 100 times in the past year and in most cases a simple phone call with a kind word and a gun resolves these things quickly :)

    Well, Yossi. I have no original. Asked Maya to find it for me :)
