Go to this website http://www.archive.org/index.php

Then plug in the url of the site you got the image from.

You should be able to access the link in this manner, as the way back

Subject: Need help on digital image for academic paper
Message-ID: <745441.17953.qm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Dear all,

I need help for my current situation.
I wrote an academic paper which has been presented in January.  In this
paper, I did put a digital image downloaded from internet
(http://www.livewithbits.com/).
Now, I am willing to use the same image for another paper.  When I
re-trace the resource for that image, I can't find it anywhere.  I can't
even find the previous website.
My colleague said that the website was probably no longer exist. Or,
even worst, it never exists.  He said that the website might be
sub-domain or "the shadow" of another website (Actually, I do not
understand this technical domain).

I can omit that image in my next paper.
But, what should I do with my previous academic paper?
It has already been published and has been documented in a proceeding...

Although it was written in the website that the images are
copyrighted-free, what if this statement is false?
What if the images are taken from another website and they are not
copyright-free?

I really, really worried about the infringement of digital properties
here.

Please. I really need help to clarify this situation.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Ruly Darmawan
