Default Something to think about regading our Pics...

Just in case you were one of the folks who thought that we shouldn't maintain strict control over our (aka my) gun images, here is something.....

I just forced a GUN CONTROL SITE that calls for the banning of ALL semi automatic weapons to remove MY pics from their promotional page. It was a flagrant copyright violation and I even threatened to sue. I also emailed them and said that I ALWAYS actively went after anyone who pirated one of my pics, regardless of who they were (but of course, you guys know I'm gonna give these guys 'special attention').

So if we were to be like Wikipedia, and let anyone use IMFDB gun pics as long as they gave attribution, how would you feel if the Brady Campaign to ban gun used MPM photos on one of their 'ban guns' posters and gave IMFDB fair credit for the image....

Sometimes, it PAYS to be strict when guarding one's copyright.
