Copyright Infringement: One of my most RIPPED off images

My Dotty Spin Art Painting 

A week doesn't go by that I don't find my painting somewhere, either on a blog entry with no link back or credit, a facebook page icon or banner heading, the inescapable spam sites, youtube videos, record labels, professional website/fb pages, or used to promote an event. The irony is that many of the people who have used this image have a copyright notice on their site/s.

Hello, I have a copyright too ;)

and please take note this image is one of many that has been filed with the US copyright office.

  I am pretty sure if I used the same excuses for freeloading their work/music etc I would hear quite a few rather nasty expletives and get a notice from their lawyers.

Here are just a "few" examples

Nobody ever asks, or credits me or offers to pay me a licence fee. Not difficult, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. 

Email me if you want to use it at jafagirlart(at)yahoo(dot)com.
or 
leave a message here with a link and I will get back to you.

And if you do an image search, just read the notice "this image may be subject to copyright" and do a reverse image search to find out the source of the image if you need to contact the creator.

History of the painting
It was part of a series of spin art paintings I did on a homemade machine in 2010 

and posted on flickr, arts & crafts blog and here in 2010.
