Why was the thread I started about finding a picture closed? No "see this and that rule" or anything, just closed.

No reason what so ever to close it.

Probably an intelectual property issue.

It is because no one likes you.

Sorry to have to be the one to break it to you.

Ball · « **Reply #5 on:** March 30, 2007, 12:39:52 PM »

Or...

having read the thread (that rhymes and you know it does), i would think that it is because you say you are going to copy copyrighted material. Thus breaking the law.

you bad bad person.

I knew that already Ball, I've known it for for many many years, I just try to ignore it and live in self delusion.

Couple of reasons. Copyright infringement. And some folks cannot wait to do something just to get a rise out of others. The thread presented those folks an oppertunity.

I could ban those people, but then I would have to suffer the self-righteous indignation sure to follow and I am not in the mood for it.

Well Skuzzy I can buy the part about people waiting for an opportunity to do something.

But I don't buy the stuff about copyright infringement.

Would that be because pictures were posted there or because of what I said?

If it was due to what I said I can say right away it is not elegal to stage a photo inspiried by a painting.

It is elegal to paint a painting of it and sell it, or take a photo of it an sell it.

Wilbus, simply displaying the pictures in that thread without written permission is a violation of copyright. If you are so up to date on copyright law, then you already know that.

EDIT: I do not care what you had planned for the artwork. That is your business.

Hey give me time to edit my post!

Actually I am pretty up to date on copyright laws but I also know my rights as a photographer. I can buy the fact that the thread was closed due to the pictures being displayed there and the fact that you don't wanna give people the chance to start a flame or similair.

Thanks for the answer, all I wanted to know.

If we're gonna keep editing our posts while we both sit here we really should type in live view... it is getting weird to have to re-read your post only to see it changed
