Mahalo bruddah's!
Well, Ben, BK and alldo...I finally got a response from the kook and he apologized heavily! I do realize he didnt really mean any harm and just wasnt thinking when he borrowed the image. But, He also mentioned people using his photos and it made him angry so I gave da buggah some dirty lickins' and he straightened right up! I ask Him: "Well, if it made you angry, why on earth would you do it to me?" of which he had no good answer...But as of this morning, he has pulled the photo and sent me 3 apology e-mails! And BK, I really no how you feel brah! I had a seller steal the exact descriptions from some of my listings and then they put a copyright notice at the bottom of the page stating it was their intellectual property! Au-way! Some people are just plain stupid! The real factor that got me worried was his Ebay seller ID had the letters "mfg" which I assume meant "manufacturing" so I got freaked out the lolo might start copying and selling my kine work!

But, everything is pono now! And I think I bullied him enough that now he states in his listings where to find the real kine Miki'oi Hawaiian makau!

Mahalo for all the kokua, everyone!!!

Malama Pono!
