The date?

How did that give it away? Its the copyright, and the year the FBI started officially.

(Theres a screenshot for anyone that missed it)

Almost, but not quite. The copyright date would be the date that the image was first applied to for copyright privileges. Also, most sites update there copyrights each year to reflect that they still hold the copyright. So, even though the copyright wouldn't have to reflect this year to be current. It WOULD reflect the year that the document was created. So... if the FBI created this image on the internet in 1908.. yeah...

I pointed this out to a few members on thursday (I dunno why people would ask me about IBM, but whatever) but sadly as I spent the evening and the next few evenings incarcerated, I was unable to follow up.

PS.. Technically the FBI wasn't created until the 1930's... before then they were just Hoover's thugs.
