Hello Clay
My bobbins are right at the bottom of the page on the right - the
control for the music is at the same level on the left, just make sure
the browser window is wide enough to see both.
Actually the music IS in the public domain - but it doesn't actually
feature Eric Clapton's voice.
In the source code of the blog site I found:

From Google I found
http://rock.mididb.com/ericclapton/
If you then click on "Wonderful tonight" it takes you to:
http://209.197.106.133/19580222/rock/ericclapton/Wonderful_Tonight.mid
Exactly the same filename. The filename of the bobbin pics got changed
during the decompression process.

Hi Brenda!
I can't blame you for being "underwhelmed" at the lifting of your
photos (your property) from your website! I looked at the blog again,
and did not see your bobbins... maybe someone has already gotten the
message. On the other hand, you WERE in excellent company, because at
the very bottom of the page on the left-hand side, is a control for...
either a video or music. I clicked it (trusting foolishly that my
computer is protected - ) and lo and behold I'm listening to a bit of
music by Eric Clapton. And I seriously doubt that the person who put
that blog together had permission from Clapton to use his work -
especially without attribution.
Their logic is obvious, however - only steal from the best!!

This is a website with lots of lace information including lace ID
pics,
lace stamps and lace postcards, BUT at the very bottom of the very
long
page there are three English bone bobbins - they are MINE! The
pictures have been taken from my website without my having been asked
for permission and without any credits.

OK, there's a language issue; even though I can get the gist of what
all the writing on that web page is about I wouldn't be able to read
an
email in Flemish, let alone write and complain!
I do take the view that anything that's published on the web goes into
the public domain, and I've yet to try saying no if asked if something
of mine can be copied, but it would have been nice to have been asked.
I wonder how many other images on that site have been copied from
elsewhere? Some of the modern lace pieces look familiar!
The website looks to have been put together semi-professionally with
lots of clever effects, so all the more reason to expect at least an
acknowledgement of where the pictures originate. There is however a
big design weakness in that it's one huge page, with lots of big,
uncompressed graphics so it takes ages to load even with broadband. In
the process of rotating the bobbin with my daughter's wedding date on
it's gone from being 40Kb on my website to 284Kb on this blog site!
