I was the one who got him the job, the son of a colleague from a former company I worked at. IIRC Altium paid me $2k for the referralThey had a hard time getting good programmers at the time due to the location of the HQ.

They can ignore you or tell you to bugger off. Or cough up some dollerydoos.But I would be just glad they didn't find a pic of me holding the iron by the hot bit. #justsayin'

content: Quote from: EEVblog on January 24, 2020, 03:00:00 amDoesn't Altium own the copyright of the original photo? I assume it is from promotional material. In which case since this school is teaching new Altium qualified designers that then generate additional market demand I would think Altium would be pleased.

content: Quote from: chickenHeadKnob on January 24, 2020, 05:33:01 amYes.So even if I wanted to, I couldn't get it taken down on copyright grounds.Legally there is no way for me to get it taken down short of asking them nicely, or successfully suing them (the school) for some sort of image thing because I'm now a public figure or something and it might imply that I'm endorsing the course.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on January 24, 2020, 12:02:12 pmYup. I would maybe just send them a short note saying the above if I were you. The fact they used your image may not bother you much in this case, but it could be misleading for future students.And using this kind of "marketing" practice doesn't look good for a university really.
