KaliMama sez, "Digital artist Atom X designed this awesome music pirate flag at half-mast for my blog, and then he CC licensed it for all to use. I figured other Boing Boing readers might like it!"

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    @bottlekid.
    Copyright infringement is not theft.

    *’steals’ Bottlekid’s comment*.
    Duplicates it:

    Yeah, thieves are so cool!! Unless they’re stealing from ME though. Then they suck.

    Hands it out to all and sundry:

    Yeah, thieves are so cool!! Unless they’re stealing from ME though. Then they suck.

    Still feel like you’ve been robbed, Bottlekid? For real? LOL.

    Hey BARDFINN,
    Thats a fantastic yet subtle modification.
    I like it. :)

    Wait to see what happens with the appeal before going half mast.

    It ain’t over yet.

    This was the title of my band’s 2006 record. We used a different but strikingly similar image for the cover, which you can see here:

    I took the photo of the flag flying over someone’s warehouse in west Oakland.

    Within hours of the verdict coming down, it seems that the Pirate Party had a massive surge in membership, and now have more members than a large chunk of the parties currently making up their government.

    #5, not at all. I always post under CC license.
    Knock yourself out.

    I had a slightly different take on the graphic:

    I saw the headline on my RSS feed, and thought you were mourning the Somalis killed by snipers.
