Also, thanks for posting the link to that Flickr page, Ian.
What the hell is that about? Linking to a Flickr image to promote your product as if the image was made with it, without paying the owner of the image, or at least getting their permission?
Are you really not aware that you are using an all-rights-reserved image, and Flickr's server's, to advertise your product...also known as stealing...or are you just that morally bankrupt?
It sounds like you all need to attend ethics classes before you go any farther with your business...
I use some of your products, but this is a serious turn off. Who are the terrible people who are making these decisions and still have a job? Is the company being run by a mixture of clueless recent college graduates (you don't learn ethics in college) and evil old businessmen? It is so petty to steal someone's image and imply to customers that the image was made on your film (I would say "lie" rather than imply), when you could just spend a day shooting your own images. Ridiculously petty, morally rotten, and legally stupid. I hope that lady on Flickr, and Yahoo, sue your asses off, even if just on principal. I certainly would.
Now let's watch the scramble to pull the link, and the behind-the-scenes offers to the photographer ensue...
