Shame on Penguin.

So, as you guys may know, my room mate runs steampunkwallpapers.com

Recently, this video from Penguin books promoting a new "steampunk romance novel" came out.  If you look, you'll realize at around 0:08 and 0:59 that those images are quite familiar -- that's right, they're from Steampunkwallpapers.com!

Now, L has listed everything as CC -- but with the caveat that she is credited. I've searched high and low and can find no indication of such. What a shame!

And she isn't the only person to have had this happen to her. One of the best known pieces of Perdido St Station fanart is in the background of the film, along with images of squirrelmadness without credit to the photographer, Tarilyn Quinn (http://tarilynquinn.com).

At least as far as L goes, I know she is delighted and amused, but will be contacting Penguin about the lack of credit for use of her images.

Edit: Hear L's thoughts on it here: http://steampunkwallpaper.com/?p=1296
