Ok, what ever George.


Well watch how fast the picture comes down when he
finds out that it is copyrighted material.

I sure hope that no one turns him in, that
could cost a bundle.

Hmmmm.... let's see now.... the name is signed "Not George", the notory is fake,
and the page isn't being used for any commercial gain or profit. Looks to me
like the picture is used as part of a parody or joke. How is that not "personal
use"? Because you happen to be on the butt-end of the joke? Even if the NAS
decided to prosecute "George" for a violation of their copyright, they would
have to show the damages that resulted from the use of the picture. What are
those damages? There aren't any. And you should also notice that their copyright
declaration is very explicit. So explicit, in fact, that I don't even think it
would hold up in court unless the violation was glaringly obvious -and- there
were significant damages. And if it -did- hold up in court, you would have to be
prosecuted as well since you copied their legal page verbatim. So once again you
live up to your name -- Hypocrite Landshark.
