Sure as long as the image is 'in fun' and goes nowhere else, it's probably not a big deal, but you copied the original COPYRIGHTED image (look at the pics, they are not only digitally copyrighted, but have an obvious license to IMFDB statement on the pics), renamed the files and parked them somewhere else.

You really do not understand how the world works? Do you? Yeah sure, people violate copyright all the time on the net, just like they all exceed the speed limit and jaywalk everyday. But guess what? You can get nailed for it too. Just depends on the time and the place and whether or not it's worth pursuing legal action.

Some IMFDB members have stopped making 'frankengun' hybrids out of my photos because (1) I asked them to and they respected that request and (2) it's a technical violation of North American Copyright law. Next time you do that, take the pics yourself and then you can alter it all you want. At least YOU will be doing most of the real work. Not someone else.

It must make you so furious to see people driving 36 in a 35.

Wow you just don't get it do you? You are equating copyright violation with driving one MPH over the limit?

If you actually have these copyrighted then the pics he made should be taken down.

You're right, speeding is a far more serious offence. Copyright violations never killed anybody.

[k9870]

Just stop already, I didnt know that he had them copyrighted but once he told me so id just delete the post and apologize, I wouldnt try and act like dick.

At this point you have copyright infringement and antagonizing a mod on your list of strikes. Technically we could ban you now but I imagine to be fair that would have to be mutually agreed by the forum. Which probably wouldn't be hard to accomplish.

PoI, you know who you remind me of? A kid from my 9th grade Geometry class who loved to contradict everyone (including the teacher) in order to convince himself he was smarter than all of us.

Oh, yeah, and now we know that your behavior when you first arrived wasn't because you were "drunk"; it's because you're socially inept. Which is probably saying something, because message board posters in general don't have a rep for social grace.

I'm fine with giving him a two-week timeout if he doesn't stop being such a smartass.
