Public display is not considered "personal use". Once you display something
publically, the "personal use" rule is useless to you... and you are open to
prosecution under copyright laws, which also cover public display or
performance of copyright material.

Before you go wild, I am just making you aware of the law... as I have done
with CB laws where someone really wanted to know. Whether you take notice
of that law is up to you, but at least you are fully aware of the situation.
If they come after you, you cannot say that nobody warned you.
But remember, if you don't care about stealing copyright material, then
don't lecture people about stealing frequencies.

I have done no such thing, so maybe you should tell me why I should.

What I do say is that a copyright thief is still a thief, and is in no
position to whine about other people who he calls thieves.
So, I am speaking out against theft... and you seem to be defending
theft with excuses and diversions.
The words "personal use" will not get you out of trouble if you get
caught for public display of copyright material.

As you are so keen on "ratting" on "criminals", are you going to rat on
yourself, or wait until one of your victims decides to make you pay for
your crimes.

It just goes to show one thing - the "akc" are the criminals on this
newsgroup, copyright theives and repeater jammers... anyone want
to add to the list of crimes these so called "pro-legal" trolls are guilty
of?

The "akc" show themselves for what they are - criminals. While they are
busy complaining about and "ratting out" illegal equipment, they are happily
breaking laws themselves. When they are made aware of their illegal
position, they divert attention.

If we didn't know better, we would think that they had no respect for
the law. Wait a minute... we don't know any better.

I really would love to hear about them getting "ratted out" for their
crimes - specially if it is done by one of their victims.
With copyright theft, there may be no set "fine" to rely on... the victim of
the crime will go for a figure they feel is right as compensation, then you
can add legal costs to that.


Regards.

Peter.

Hypocrite Landshark



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.

Have you not been following the thread?
Try looking, the answer is right in front of you.

Who in this newsgroup was victimized by "copyright theft",


Are people and companies outside of this newsgroup not entitled to the
protection of the law?
Is it not illegal if it doesn't involve this newsgroup or CB radio?
Are some criminals above the law, as they consider themselves part of some
"akc" organisation?
Do the ends always justify the means - can people break the law in an
attempt to "slap" other criminals?

Otherwise, what is your point?

If you don't know that, you really should stop touting for business as a

Try public display of copyright material...
http://www.bitlaw.com/copyright/scope.html#display

Copyright law gives specific sole rights to the copyright owner...
The right to reproduce the copyrighted work,
The right to prepare derivative works based upon the work,
The right to distribute copies of the work to the public,
The right to perform the copyrighted work publicly,
The right to display the copyrighted work publicly.
Giving permission for any one of these acts does NOT give rights for any
other restricted act. A copyright owner can give permission for copying for
personal use, while retaining sole rights for public display of the work.

Registration and copyright notices are NOT required for protection to apply
or legal action to be possible. Copyright exists as soon as a copy exists,
even if the work is not completed.
When a work is "created":
http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/101.html
Copyright subsists in works fixed in any tangible medium:
http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/102.html

Copyright infringement a federal law:
http://www.pdimages.com/law/10.htm
According to the above site, Americans breaking copyright laws are "federal
criminals", with a possible $10,000 fine. Is that not the same as the
possible fine for illegal CB?


As with CB laws, whether someone gets caught can be another matter - and if
a person wants to take the risk, that's their business. But, telling that
person that it is OK to do it is no better than telling someone to use an
illegal amp - and breaking copyright laws is no better than breaking CB
laws.
Also, what a copyright owner will try and what they can manage will depend
upon who they are and how much power (or money) they can throw at it. A big
business may throw so much money at a case, that it will end up as a loss
for them... but they will make an example of the person in the hope that
others are scared.


Who in this newsgroup was victimized by
"copyright theft"?


Where have I said that anyone in this group was victimised
by copyright theft?


What a goddam hypocrite you are, Peter.


YOU are the hypocrite... you claim to be "pro-legal", yet jump to defend the
violation of copyright laws. But then, it's not about the law, it's about
WHO is doing something.
All I did was tell someone something, and you jump in with your typical
angry attitude. I'll bet you went bright red and needed a lie down to
recover from your fit. I wonder why you feel the need to jump in and
"protect" that particular person - why anyone suggesting that they
may be breaking a law makes you so angry.
Ask yourself who is doing him a favour - the person warning him of what
could happen, or the person suggesting that he should go ahead regardless?
If I was out to get him, I would simply of kept quiet, reported it, and
laughed as he got "slapped".


I have made it clear that I use LEGAL CB equipment with no power amps (or
pre-amps, as they are illegal here), I have advised people against using
amps (where they really wanted to know), and I have spoke my mind about
certain add-ons and their fitting methods. Yet, in spite of "antikeyclown"
suggestions about "anger", I have had no angry response from the "keyclown"
side - only from the "anti" side.
Strange how the "pro-legal" mob gladly attack a legal CBer, then claim that
the "keyclowns" chase legal CBers from the group.

Just don't be surprised when nobody believes your claim to be
"pro-legal"... the "antikeyclown" crud is all just a cover for trolling
this group or working off some anger.
The "anti" mob do more to damage the image of legal CB and promote
illegal activities than any of your "enemies" ever could with their words.

You still didn't answer the question.


What a goddam hypocrite you are, Peter.


YOU are the hypocrite... you claim to be "pro-legal", yet jump to defend the
violation of copyright laws. But then, it's not about the law, it's about
WHO is doing something.
All I did was tell someone something, and you jump in with your typical
angry attitude. I'll bet you went bright red and needed a lie down to
recover from your fit. I wonder why you feel the need to jump in and
"protect" that particular person - why anyone suggesting that they
may be breaking a law makes you so angry.
Ask yourself who is doing him a favour - the person warning him of what
could happen, or the person suggesting that he should go ahead regardless?
If I was out to get him, I would simply of kept quiet, reported it, and
laughed as he got "slapped".


I have made it clear that I use LEGAL CB equipment with no power amps (or
pre-amps, as they are illegal here), I have advised people against using
amps (where they really wanted to know), and I have spoke my mind about
certain add-ons and their fitting methods. Yet, in spite of "antikeyclown"
suggestions about "anger", I have had no angry response from the "keyclown"
side - only from the "anti" side.
Strange how the "pro-legal" mob gladly attack a legal CBer, then claim that
the "keyclowns" chase legal CBers from the group.

Just don't be surprised when nobody believes your claim to be
"pro-legal"... the "antikeyclown" crud is all just a cover for trolling
this group or working off some anger.
The "anti" mob do more to damage the image of legal CB and promote
illegal activities than any of your "enemies" ever could with their words.



Nice rant, but it is based on your ignorance of copyright law. Let's try this
one more time..... Study the code from the link I quoted above, verify all of
its references to other sections of the code that are relevant to this specific
'case', then come back and try -once again- to tell us what law was broken.

I should add that Randy recently voiced his opinion about me, and it's not one
that I haven't heard before. He feels that I am preoccupied with 'being right'
all the time. That's not far from the truth, which is that I am careful not to
be wrong when I talk about something. Sure, it happens once in a while that I do
put the cart before the horse, claiming something as true before I verify the
facts. That doesn't happen often, and when it does I'm the first to admit it.
Now some people hate people like me, the "Mr. Know-It-All" type, but that's
their problem (maybe they never heard the story of the Fox and the Grapes). If
they don't like me proving them wrong then tough **** -- they should learn to
keep mouths shut. And I'm not going to intentionally spout off about things I
know nothing about just to win a popularity award from a crowd that does. So if
you are arguing this subject just because you hate the 'know-it-all' types like
me, it would be best if you quit now because I know what I'm talking about on
this subject. However, if you sincerely think that you are right, prove it and
I'll admit that I'm wrong. Fair enough?

Copyright law gives specific sole rights to the copyright owner...
The right to reproduce the copyrighted work,
The right to prepare derivative works based upon the work,
The right to distribute copies of the work to the public,
The right to perform the copyrighted work publicly,
The right to display the copyrighted work publicly.
Giving permission for any one of these acts does NOT give rights for any
other restricted act. A copyright owner can give permission for copying

for
personal use, while retaining sole rights for public display of the work.

Registration and copyright notices are NOT required for protection to

apply

According to the above site, Americans breaking copyright laws are

"federal

possible fine for illegal CB?


As with CB laws, whether someone gets caught can be another matter - and

if
a person wants to take the risk, that's their business. But, telling that
person that it is OK to do it is no better than telling someone to use an
illegal amp - and breaking copyright laws is no better than breaking CB
laws.
Also, what a copyright owner will try and what they can manage will depend
upon who they are and how much power (or money) they can throw at it. A

big
business may throw so much money at a case, that it will end up as a loss
for them... but they will make an example of the person in the hope that
others are scared.

"Sec. 412. - Registration as prerequisite to certain remedies for infringement",
means that if your copyright isn't registered, you don't have any rights beyond
those listed in Sec. 106A(a). That section is very specific, and those rights
are limited to "Rights of Attribution and Integrity":

".....

Subject to section 107 and independent of the exclusive rights provided in
section 106, the author of a work of visual art -

(1) shall have the right -

(A) to claim authorship of that work, and

(B) to prevent the use of his or her name as the author of any work of
visual art which he or she did not create;

(2) shall have the right to prevent the use of his or her name as the author
of the work of visual art in the event of a distortion, mutilation, or other
modification of the work which would be prejudicial to his or her honor or

(3) subject to the limitations set forth in section 113(d), shall have the
right -

(A) to prevent any intentional distortion, mutilation, or other modification
of that work which would be prejudicial to his or her honor or reputation, and
any intentional distortion, mutilation, or modification of that work is a
violation of that right, and

(B) to prevent any destruction of a work of recognized stature, and any
intentional or grossly negligent destruction of that work is a violation of that
right.

That's it. NOW, Peter, which of those rights have been violated?

"Sec. 412. - Registration as prerequisite to certain

You seem to be getting confused between something being "legal" or
unenforceable.
The keywords here are "remedies" and "infringement".

Remedies: Actions taken to cure a situation.
Infringement: A law has been violated.
Put together: If the law is violated, only people who have registered their
work may be able to take certain action in a US court.

Which makes your argument:
It's ok to break the law as long as the victim may be
powerless to sue your ass over your illegal act.
Which is not much of a "pro-legal" argument.


That's it. NOW, Peter, which of those rights have been violated?



How about "intentional distortion, mutilation, or other
modification of that work".
Clearly, the image has been altered (to give the impression that he is the
person in the picture).
I wonder if the people in that image mind being linked with the person in
question - and his abusive posts on this group.

But, that's not the point - copying and public display of copyright material
is illegal. People who violate laws are criminals.
Unless you can show that registration is a requirement for copyright to
exist AND the image is not resistered, then your buddy is a criminal, and
you are happily defending illegal acts.

"Sec. 412. - Registration as prerequisite to certain
remedies for infringement",


You seem to be getting confused between something being "legal" or
unenforceable.
The keywords here are "remedies" and "infringement".



A law is not a law unless it can be enforced. If every word that everybody ever
wrote was protected by law, the courts would be hip-deep in diapers from the
hoards of crybabies like yourself filing frivolous copyright suits every time
they -think- their copyrights have been violated (and with claims almost as
outlandish as the ones you are making in this newsgroup). The purpose of
registration is to provide a prima-facie declaration of copyright ownership,
thereby limiting claims to legitimate and bona-fide cases of infringement.


Remedies: Actions taken to cure a situation.
Infringement: A law has been violated.
Put together: If the law is violated, only people who have registered their
work may be able to take certain action in a US court.



You still haven't read the code, and you still don't understand what a copyright
actually is. Well, here's what you missed while smoking dope in high school: A
'copyright' is a device used to claim exclusive authorship of an artistic or
literary work, and entitles the owner to all the benefits (and liabilities)
resulting from the work and/or its reproduction.

Now to apply this to the case at hand. First, did the author of that page claim
copyright, or otherwise claim authorship of the photograph? No. Even if he had,
the page was obviously a parody which is protected under the 1st Amendment (or
maybe you didn't see the movie about Larry Flynt?). Second, were there any
benefits derived from the use of the photograph? No, and even if there were any
benefits, the criminal part of the code for copyright infringement spells out
just what constitutes a 'benefit':

"....either commercial advantage or private financial gain [or] reproduction or
distribution, including by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or
more copies or phonorecords of 1 or more copyrighted works, which have a total
retail value of more than $1,000...."

So I'll ask this question YET AGAIN -- what laws were violated?


Which makes your argument:
It's ok to break the law as long as the victim may be
powerless to sue your ass over your illegal act.
Which is not much of a "pro-legal" argument.



The law is clear. You are just not reading it clearly.


That's it. NOW, Peter, which of those rights have been violated?



How about "intentional distortion, mutilation, or other
modification of that work".
Clearly, the image has been altered (to give the impression that he is the
person in the picture).



You can still go to the originating site and view the picture in all of its
unaltered glory. The -copy- was altered.


I wonder if the people in that image mind being linked with the person in
question - and his abusive posts on this group.



Why don't you ask them? At the same time, why don't you ask them if they granted
permission to the website to publish that picture of them?


But, that's not the point - copying and public display of copyright material
is illegal.



Wrong. You can copy any copyrighted materail all you want -- you just can't
claim authorship, or use it for financial gain without permission. You can also
publically display copyrighted material all you want if you are the owner of the
copyright.


People who violate laws are criminals.
Unless you can show that registration is a requirement for copyright to
exist AND the image is not resistered, then your buddy is a criminal, and
you are happily defending illegal acts.



Registration is -not- a requirement for copyright protection. It -IS- a
requirement to seek civil remedies for infringement. The -real- issue is what
protection was violated? It looks like I have to make this a multiple-guess
question:

Which of the following occured:

A. Commercial advantage was gained by posting the copied picture;
B. Person who copied the picture received private financial gain;
C. Picture has a retail value of more than $1000;
D. Picture was copied for use in a parody;

Scroll down for the correct answer.






























































If you scrolled all the way down here for the answer then you are an idiot!
