I never told anybody to stop using the picture.Where in my post did I tell anybody to stop using the picture? I pointed out that posting something to the internet is not the same thing as putting it in the public domain, and that resources exist for finding out how to get permission to use material in derivative works. I never said that anyone should stop using the image, because I know that the person who took the original photo doesn't care, and occasionally gets a kick out of seeing his kitten photo used in a good photoshop job or flash animation.
