Sunsphere Photo Copyright Violation

Interesting. While doing a search online to answer a question for someone, I ran across this item on eBay. The photo seemed VERY familiar. After doing some comparing, it looks like the creator indeed stole a photo I took of the Sunsphere in 2007 when I was there for the 25th anniversary.





Ironically, the convention center indicated in the photo did not exist until about 20 years after the exposition.
