This picture was almost surely captured by me and is being used without my permission.

A few years ago I had an identical file (bit-by-bit) on my TMNT site. (Back then http://koti.welho.com/asiukola/, now (dead link deleted) .) This picture was probably copied from there.

How I created this file: I used a PAL TMNT DVD, saved a few seconds of it in a lossless format, opened it in VirtualDub, deinterlaced it, took a screenshot and saved it with Paint Shop Pro.

I am asking you to replace this picture with something else. Some time ago an Australian site was mentioned as a source - it has nothing to do with this picture.

Some evidence: in the picture (dead link deleted) you can see a file from a back-up of my old TMNT site. It has the same number of bytes (106,353) as the picture at Wikipedia. (The content is also the same.) The date of last edit ("muokattu" in Finnish) is August 10, 2003. (The Finnish date format is day.month.year.) That's almost two years before the picture was added to Wikipedia.

The picture (dead link deleted) proves that my old file and Wikipedia's file are identical. "Eroja ei löydetty" = "no difference was found".

I hardly think you can ask for removal based on copyright grounds, when you are not the original copyright holder of the work being displayed. Yes you may have captured the image, but based on your logic I would be able to take a DVD movie, capture the contents of that movie, and claim ownership of it.

The only person who can claim ownership of this file and ask for it's removal is the people who own the TMNT franchise.

Copyright and trademark

To the moron who claims to "own" the copyright on this image, I think Mirage and Viacom may have a few words for you. Namely, they, along with Fred Wolf, OWN the TRADEMARK to the image's contents. No you. Unless you were contracted by Fred Wolf and Mirage in 1985, when pre-production was started, you don't own anything. Also, a logo can't be copyrighted in the United States, only trademarks are given. You may have made the image, but you should've better protected yourself if don't want it being used. You need to understand that, by claiming ownership, you just made yourself liable to a lawsuit on trademark infringement and misrepresentation grounds, "damaging" the logo that is currently owned by Viacom. Beware of the can of worms you just opened on yourself if a lawyer for Viacom reads this posting. Apple8800 (talk) 19:57, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
