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.

Whats wrong with this gun?

[k9870]

yep, all thats left is the bayonet, a light, a foregrip, and the caliber of bullet randomly slapped on.

POI, the reason he's being harsh with you (which i have no problem with at this point) is because he told you not to use his copyrighted images, and then you just don't fucking get it! if you're already in deep shit, dont get in even deeper shit. just agree, nod and say ''yes sir, i won't do it again'' but certainly DO NOT try to correct yourself and make us look like the offender. GOD! i, and certainly other forum members, are tired of your constant bullshit.

2 week ban? hell, no. i dont want to see this jackass on this forum EVER again

I think we're way off track, which was talking about how Colt makes someone puke.

In my opinion, i believe that we just have to give 2 week timeout for POI, and just get over this problem. If we keep argues about someone who just don't understand how angry the copywriter is right now, there will be tons of lawsuits coming out of this forum in few weeks, which we don't encourage.

But i just realized that POI is banned right now, so we're back in business again.


P.S) I feel puke too about Colt. Old Stoner and Browning design for more than 100 years(100 for 1911, 30 for AR-15), and they just don't get the idea how retard they are.

No need for a safety on DAO. I never fired a DAO semi auto pistol, but I would hate the idea of a heavy trigger pull each shot. I'll take DA/SA.
