Fair Use is no argument. Definition of Fair Use changed over twenty years ago. I'm fine with NateBishop's request. I own a design firm and copyright (and infringement) is something we should all care about.

I'm guessing the Big Bosses came down on Nate to get some control on this board, and Nate has to play the mean guy.

All this for an unpaid title with very few benefits within the online community.

How emasculating that must be, to put up with it, quit once, then come crawling back only to play the same role again...

No posting of photos you did not create either, I suppose. Its all the same.

Don't quit your day job. Your pop-psychology sucks.

Ahem. People? If it's the law, you can write your congressperson and try to get it changed. Meanwhile it's the law. Not sure how that is emasculating...

 

[BBert]

It's fun to rib Nate about the OP, but at the same time realize he is correct. It is proper to summarize the gist of the article then post a link.

The law is the law. Laws exist to protect those who own property, especially if it's a lot of property. Ours is not to reason why. Ours is but to do and die.

 

[crandc]

jlkprk as usual attacks what no one said.

I think I explicitly said you can try to change a law you don't like.

But you can't expect the mods to say go ahead and break it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I wouldn't worry about it much, ED O is a TV repairman, he's got the ultimate set of tools.

The Righthaven case is now the law. Ahem...

That's not "proper" on terms of legality, though, although I'll add that I have rarely, if ever, posted an entire article. Plus, I always use a link as a source credit.

 

[PapaG]

Ahem ... the law as it stands according to the 9th Circuit. Free members aren't agents of S2, so S2 can't be found in violation of copyright infringement. At least, of course, if it doesn't become a copy/paste site.

Seems like a dumb thing to make a big deal of, but I guess NateBishop wanted some attention.

So here is the deal with me. I'm a little rebellious to start out with. Somebody tells me I "need to stop" doing something because I could get in legal trouble, my rebellious reaction is to do it again and dare them to sue. Probably not the best way to handle things, but that's the way I roll, I guess.

So Nate, maybe next time a more pleasant title that we do things differently rather than telling us what we have to do might get a friendlier thread and SPD won't have to come to the rescue . . . or should I say "you need to ask nicer"

The OP was plenty friendly. The thread is only the usual suspects bucking and creating drama, which is what they do best.

That was your post, was it not? Was it altered in any way?

 

[PapaG]

Yeah, that's the point. Very mod-worthy, isn't it? Trolling an active member of the community with every post.

You love the drama. Admit this and move on.

Getting trolled with your own post? Okay chief

 

[PapaG]

Yeah, that's textbook trolling. I mean, I am flattered that you begged to be a mod again just to razz me, though.

It's your thing, though. You've always been a sketchy mod, and this thread pretty much proves it.

Troll on, Mod.

Hooch is craaaazy!

We should probably take this to PM, Mod. Your red ass is showing. I'd ignore you, but...

You're right. You did everything plenty freindly . . . it's everybody's else who is at fault.

Things do go wrong sometimes. There are times when it's accidental. There are times when it's somebody else's fault. But at the times when you know you are at fault for the problem, the mature and responsible thing to do is stand up and own up to the mistake, accept the consequences, and be part of the solution to the problem resulting from your mistake.

Where was I disrespectful in my original post? It was pretty straight forward.

 

[jlprk]

I wouldn't have respected you if you'd been respectful.

 

[julius]

next thing you'll tell us we can't post porn here.

FASCISTS!

I don't think you were disrespectful. I do think it could have been said a little different and the title comes across as confrontational, but whatever, I don't care. Just thought I would try to explain why I think some posters reacted the way they did in this thread, but you let me know that I'm wrong and it really is all the other poster's issues.

I could have said "pretty please with sugar on top". It wouldn't have mattered. PapaG, Eric (El Presidente), and Jlprk would have done their thing.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

jeebus, get your panties in a bunch why don't ya?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

you know we only do this because we love you. :MARIS61:

Actually I'd have been fine, except I hadn't seen your signature, which is blatantly trolling me. Seeing it, it's obvious part of the reason you wanted to be a mod again is so you could have some sort of authority in your life.

It's cute, in a creepy way.

 

[BBert]

At this point this thread needs to stop. Mods?
