so an update about the copyright issue.
my friend called me back twice.
the first time we talked and she said that took a picture of her Maggini model and her friend used that to make her business card.
and told me there's no way that's my viola in her card.
i told her i'm extremely surprised by that because of the antiquing and lighting being exactly the same on 2 instruments... which in reality is impossible.
then a couple hours later, she called me back a second time.
this time she talked to her friend who made the card.
turns out her friend finds her photo not suitable for printing, so her friend went online and looked around for a higher resolution picture.
somehow through some indirect link, she found my picture.
without asking for a consent for copyright redistribution, she took that and used it for the card.
and printed them out as a birthday present for my friend.
now that's all sorted out, she did promise me that her friend will not reuse that picture.
and since it's her birthday present, i gave her the ok to keep using the cards till they run out.
what a turn out.
