Alright. You might not have gotten all of them directly from http://crisp.nus.edu.sg/tsunami/tsunami.html

Some of these satellite images have appeared at various web pages. e.g. photos identical to your photos 8, 9 also appear in:

http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=12647
(NASA Earth Observatory)

http://www.reuters.com/newsPhotoPresentation.jhtml?type=topNews&imageID=1001619653
(Reuters)

Note that they all credit them to CRISP. These are the image set "d" of "Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia" on CRISP's web page. At least these two images originated from CRISP. Comparing the other images you posted with those on CRISP's web page, I dare to challenge that all of the images you posted originated from CRISP.

Yes, I think I know better than you do. If you had any slight knowledge about satellite imaging, you wouldn't insist that these pictures could have originated from some other sources. If you don't believe what I say, please check with the sources where you got your images from. No matter where you got them from, you are violating the copyright of whoever producing the images in the first place by not acknowleging the original source of the images you posted. This is the point I am trying to make clear. I believe folks at CRISP won't mind people copying their images and showing them elsewhere. It is their intentions to let the public see the pictures, otherwise they wouldn't post them on their web page. But it is also my belief that credits should be given where they are due. Otherwise, you are no better than a pirate.

Another remark: Please don't shout. It is not good for you :-)
