@OgNasty How many of the photos from the book do you plan to make into bitpics?
There are 54 photos total from the book. I plan to produce each one in the form of a bitpic. They will be made available for purchase through bitpic.org utilizing a custom branded NastyShop in the coming weeks. Until then, I may continue to auction them one at a time here, so long as there is sufficient demand. The retail price is looking likely to be set in the neighborhood of $85 + 0.03 BTC + shipping, varying based on the size of the bitpic.

Good reply! Just wanted to raise the concern
No worries. Someone had to ask.
Another reason I brainstormed the idea for this project was because I wanted folks to have an opportunity to see some of the amazing photography in the Mining Pools book, without having to first purchase it.
What would happen if I made an exact copy using the picture from the mining book? Is there anything protecting this property being exclusive?
I'd love to see what sort of quality you could produce by taking pictures from the book, and what image you'd use for a border... Obviously that would be an awful quality forgery. Not to mention you wouldn't be able to get your hands on an untampered hologram or my signature and the costs involved in engraving something like this are fairly prohibitive (my engraving machine alone retails for over $5,000 and 3rd party engraving services cost more than you'd be able to sell the product for, not to mention the security concerns associated there). However, I do have a paid licensing agreement with photonresearch, and he is a professional photographer that would likely file a lawsuit against you if you were able to reproduce the images with any sort of quality, which I suspect you couldn't.
