Laurel, can't we make newbies take a test or something?

RH, do you think it's ok to post copyrighted material if it is cited on the pic? Just curious because you don't seem to mind other threads with pictures. I'm not sure if it's legal to post things even if you give credit where it is due.

It's not for me to say what I mind or not. If a pic is copyrighted, we're not supposed to post them.

It's like the under 18 rule. Sure it'd be great to come here if you're not 18, but at what cost to everyone else? Too many sites have gone to requiring credit cards for age verification and I'd rather not have that happen to Lit.

(I know you're just joking, glam, so my rant was not meant toward you)
 
I'll take the heat! He pm'd me about posting pics and I forgot to mention that rule.

My bad! I'll make it up to you beefcake. Promise.

All pics are copyrighted, whether they say so or not.

Thanks for the heads-up, you weren't a hall monitor as a child were you?

My problem isn't actually with the one who posted them, because he apologized. It was the other one P4ME2 who basically said "screw it, I'll do whatever I want" that annoyed me.

He asked me how to post pics and I did not mention to him that there were rules re: copywrited images.

I'm not defending anyone, I don't even know the person, but I'm just saying it seems like and honest mistake by someone who didn't know any better.

I agree. His mistake was an honest one. He made that clear.

But as I mentioned above, the other guy seemed to not care.

I'm mostly just venting...
 
We did have a 16 year old start a thread looking for men to have sex with. I am very happy to say that when I read it everyone told her the same thing. Go out and be a kid for 2 more years and when you come back you will have more offers than you know what to do with.

I reported the thread to the moderators and they removed it. We are lucky in that the owners of lit allow the moderators and the site users to stick to the rules. For the most part most of us on lit do. When someone doesn't we tell them so they know better or report them when we have to.
 
Vent away babycakes. It's frustrating when people don't respect Laurel and Manu. They put a lot of work and care into this place and the people who post here.
 
RH, honey, you, uh, you didn't create that Cartman character yourself, did you?

Just to be a skank... this is what Comedy Central says, I believe they hold the copyright to all things SouthPark.
 
Actually, copyright infringement isn't fun. Like Glam's av pics, he snips the watermarks off to post some of the avs. That's a way total no-no in my book. Photogs put them on because they know ripping happens and there is nothing they can do about it. At least this way they get some advertising mileage out of it.

It would be like the recording industry trying to stop each and every one of us from ripping a CD and burning it onto a disc. It's illegal, but impossible to enforce simply by sheer the magnitude.

People just don't respect other people's rights and property anymore.

It's depressing.
