I'm sure he's indeed a very nice guy, but whether it was his intention or

But he's not personally doing it himself. His users create the database
and upload images as new computers are added. To build your collection
online, you pick & choose the computers from those already entered into
the database and add them to your own collection. If you own a machine
that's not in the database, you have the option to create the entry and
then upload a photo to go along with it. Folks who've been uploading
photographs have not been exercising proper courtesy. Tix hasn't done a
good job monitoring his site.

I've met Tix in person and have communicated with him through e-mail a

rip off other people's photos without credit.
