Site Publishes Joe Chiappetta Without Permission; Deletes Page When Asked

The cartoonist Joe Chiappetta sent in an e-mail describing an exchange between himself and a site called Weblo, Inc. Apparently, the site had used this cartoon on its own page. Chiappetta sent in a letter promising press attention, asking the cartoon be removed and declaring a bill would be sent for use of the cartoon, citing its original positing on his own site. The cartoonist received a letter at 12:52 AM this morning declaring "Hi, the website has been deleted. Sorry about the inconvenience."

While the events of the story have reached a satisfying conclusion, I wanted to mention it here because it seems to me that there's a lot more copying of content right now, and Chiappetta found an aggressive and effective solution.
