Does the cover of this sample pack using a photo of the Challenger shuttle disaster? Where everyone on board died?

If so, I have two questions.

1. Why?

2. WTF?

Edit: It's this photo of the Challenger explosion (flipped vertically).

EDIT #2: In response to contacting them, the cover has been changed. See musikpro's post on page #4.

I guess an intern born in '97 just searched the web for a cover photo and thought: "hey, that looks cool, I'm gonna steal that...".

It looks like a white version of Big Bird from Sesame Street.

Everybody knows that it's impossible for man (or wo-man) to travel into space due to heavy radiation etc. It would be inappropiate if it was true.

From the OP's post, I was offended. But then I saw the pic, and I must say, it's very cool looking if you don't know the history. There's no actual ship or visible sign of what this is other than a screwy vapor trail.

I actually remember the day it happened, and I would never have put that pic together with the incident. But yeah, knowing the history, if it was my product, I would have passed on it.

It's not a great motive, hopefully the samples are better.

It's the first picture in Google when you type Challenger. I doubt he have permission to use it.

We should hunt him down and burn him at the stake. Assuming he's a he and burning people at the stake is still ok in your country.

...or maybe somebody could just shoot the developer....an email informing him that some of us disapprove of his use of this image to sell his sample pack.

So it is Google who owns the rights to the photo?

Geez, you guys get offended by anything. Was your mom on the shuttle or something?

Feederz used that for an album cover in 1987. I remember a local record store refused to carry it because of the cover. we just bought it at rose records instead.

Inappropriate Sample Pack Cover?
