Does anyone know for sure that this image has been 
stolen?  Is it copywrighted?  Did he get permission from 
Nissan to use the image?  You guys are getting upset 
over things you have no clue about.  I say let the guy 
sell his mouse pads.  If Nissan has an issue with it 
then let them deal with it.
