Why this page?

This page came into existence as a direct result of multiple instances of other photographers illegally using pieces of this site as a basis upon which to build their own online businesses. Instead of doing the work themselves, they've chosen to steal content from this site, including text, html, graphics, and in some cases, even photographs.

Who would do such a thing? Here are some people you might want to ask:

Lawrence Larsen, a photographer from Naperville, IL. He may be able to tell you about how nearly this entire web site was illegally duplicated in May 2005 and made available on his website, but with all references to "Zerotopia" or "Zero Dean" replaced with his name & business. This included using actual photos taken by Zero Dean, graphics, text, and even testimonials!

Slater Photography, a "photography studio" from New York, NY. Slater may be able to tell you about how various contents of this site, including graphics, text, HTML, and even our satisfaction guarantee suddenly and unlawfully appeared on their web server in early July 2005, but with names changed to reflect their business.
