i guess that's ok . i doubt there's any copyright still on that image
of course that is my opinion only . i suggest getting your lawyers advice first

Oh, yeah, I am 14, I can't afford a lawyer, maybe just read Perry Mason, sorry about the link just copy and paste the whole adress to see the picture.

Well James If you reduce the size quite a bit you should be able to use that image without upsetting any one. If you can get it to less than 50k I don't think anyone here will have issues wit the picture. I could be wrong about the size. There was a topic on it a few days ago.

If you are asking about copyright law I have know idea. The image could be in the public domain but you might want to research that if you are worried about it.
