This site does not use any IPIX images.
 The
very existence of this site is partly due to the efforts of software
developers who have not only taken the time to write excellent
software but also to literally give it away. Had the legal actions
of IPIX against these developers (and against other developers) in
an attempt to destroy all competition in the VR market been
successful you would not have been viewing these panoramas today.
Oct 2000
Not content with suing software companies and individuals, IPIX
have now started targeting photographers in the US and Europe who
use alternate methods of displaying complete panoramas even though
they technically do not infringe their patent.
One of them, at least, had also used IPIX images on his website,
but rather than try to persuade him that of the benefits of their
system they threatened him with a rather nasty letter.
This is the way they treat their own clients. It's no wonder
their share price is plummeting.
