I have recently seen a piece of marketing hype that uses the "famous"
pool table image that was supposed to have passed the "Turing Test" 
for computer generated images.  (It's the one where a cueball is seen
striking a set of pool balls, (1,5,11,12), and what makes it really
spectacular is the use of motion blurring.)

My question is, who owns the copyright to this image, and how do I
get in touch with them?

It seems to me that an artist should be remunerated for his work.
