Yes, that picture is used on many sites, but I was the
one who spent the time to create it in the first place.
Everyone else has merely copied it.

There is a site that archives old versions of web pages:

web.archive.org

You can trace the evolution of that graphic by looking
at old versions of the UFO Series Home Page.

Back in 1997, the graphic was vertical, and had slightly
different pictures:

Then in 1998, I redid it to something that's more
familiar to current readers:

Then in 2002, Christian Jenisch went through the DVDs
and supplied me with higher quality versions of my
original captures (from the Japanese laserdiscs), and
I also add the Alien picture at the end:

But I can't do much to stop people from copying my stuff.
It's even more annoying when they duplicate my episode guide
and then take my name off it as the author. Or when they
printout the script transcriptions and then sell them
on eBay. But that's life on the web, I guess... :-)
