Last night me and a few friends decided to go for a few quiet drinks after playing football for a few hours. For this we choose a little pub in the village of Yarm (Close to Middlesbrough in the north east of the UK), the name does escapes me at this time, but I believe it had some reference to a 'Ox' in the title. Now, getting to the point, I was shocked when I went into the toilet facilities in the pub, and found one of those vending machines that sell novelty items of a sexual nature, featuring on the design something that looked remarkably similar to the BSD Daemon. Having my camera cell phone with me, I took a few snaps which are located here: http://codegurus.org/~mwalker/Image045.jpg http://codegurus.org/~mwalker/Image046.jpg http://codegurus.org/~mwalker/Image047.jpg http://codegurus.org/~mwalker/Image049.jpg http://codegurus.org/~mwalker/Image050.jpg The company that supplies these vending machines is called Naughty Vend (http://www.naughtyvend.com/). I have checked their site, and I find no reference to and copyright credits to the original artist. To the best of my knowledge, the BSD Daemon is copyrighted by Marshall Kirk McKusick. Is this a case of copyright theft? As obviously they are a profit making company. Or have i got totally the wrong end of the stick.
