Sorry didnt mean to cause you to take it down...unless someone rats you out for having that pic I wouldnt take it down...but since your on THIS board it might be an idea if you gots enemies here?
But ya, ripping=stolen...fortunatley the client gave it to you so your in the clear...If anyone took me to court over a pic...I d say I would remove it or take it down and they should be happy...If they threaten with legal shit I would say something like " I can take it away or...you can go git yourself a fancy high priced lawyer and I will get My "legalaid lawyer" to delay the trial forever so why dont ya shut the fuk up"
I worked at this one internet company that had a user base of 6 million...for a coupla years and when I started I aske dthe boss where I should be grabbing stock photos from and his reply was "just rip them off the net from where ever..." I was fresh outta design school and was floored...but you know what for the coupla years I worked there ...not one complaint...not one.
Its a hard thing to police I guess.
Anyways Maxim aint gonna get a lawyer for a pic that appeared in their calendar four years ago...
Peace n carrots

If somebody would be ripping my work, I'd be mad ... this isn't really something I can deal with ... I honestly buy my music / games and most of my software ...
We have websites where we signup to grab artwork ... we pay for our picturse most of the time (and charge the client for it).
I won't for sure let a peice of stolen copyright on a portfolio page
