Dingy white mesh bottom Jesus jammies.

How much would you give me if I did it?

Enough to buy two six packs of my namesakes.

As far as I know, six pack is six units of a commodity, especially six cans or bottles of a beverage, such as beer, sold in a pack.
As far as I know, the units are - in general - 0,33 litre.
In Hungary, we use the expression a crate of beer, which is 20 (twenty) units of 0,5 litre bottle.
Compute the multiplier, please!

by the way
The word glass=üveg in hungarian means a bottle / a flask.
In english, it is a cup-like (cup-sized) object.
That poor, dry english-speakers...

The image posting is disabled because ofthose deliberately posting Deseret News photos and l-dsinc owned photos. Others post copyrighted images without the permission of the legal owners. Now that the site was 'caught' (by a porn writer who did not own copyright to the photo he complained about) any defense of mistake would be difficult to maintain.

If you wanted to follow the rules and be civilized about this you would post your own photos. Post photos that are Public Domain. Post Royalty Free/shared photos that do not have licensing restrictions against this use. Post copyrighted photos you have permission from the owner of the copyright to post or post photos that clearly fall under Fair Use exceptions.

Posting your own photos is probably the easiest. Course when you find that photo of your kid posted as a 'for sale' ad on a NAMBLA site or used to illustrate an online AIDS or sex ad, maybe you will re-think copyright protection.

The trouble with this site is that posters deliberately post images that can get the site shut down. Since some are not trustworthy, all suffer.

Yes, many forums allow posting photos. Most of those are forums I don't visit. I have seen a few I recognized and checked with the owner about it. Some were taken down as a result. The owner can control who, when, where and how their property is used. Some don't care and others are very controlling. That is their right as the legal owner of the photo.

As for 'policing' here? Ask yourselves why Semen Blemont, an avowed ubermormon who would not cry if this site disappeared today, is so set to get people allowed to post images that can get it shut down? Why some persist in posting photos they know are taken from IRI, Deseret News and l-dsinc, knowing it can cause problems? I had seen, asked about and checked TWO photos I recognized before the porn writer did his thing and got the site shut down. Since then I have informed Shades when I have seen one on here that may be questionable. Also informing him how to do searches to check the provenance of images - like donutboy using a "Leave it to Beaver" avatar. Yep, even that could cause trouble and you know dannyboy would not shed a tear if the site were shut down, would he?

The truth is simple, if I recognize a problem I will take action. Policing will be left to the copyright owner. The only ones who complain about this are those using images without permission and those who support it.

A good overview of this can be found at the links below. Do some reading, it won't hurt most of you. It can go a long way toward preventing problems in the future.

Be sure to read this post for comments pro and con - and a simple monetary claim that could easily happen here - while the photographer STILL has the DMCA notice solution available.

Hello,

I agree. I was going to post a funny image, and then I saw the application was disabled.

Screw you very much, Mr. Joseph!

I'm sure that I missed the latest announcement on this subject, but here I go anyway.
Why can we not have images? I know there was some drama a few weeks ago, but I'd thought that issue was resolved. This board sucks without images. I'm reconsidering my participation.

Is there any debate on this subject? Or is this just an administrative fiat? Again, why can we not have images?

Because Joseph is a douchebag and Shades is shy about banning people.

Banning Joseph won't help. Even if his IP is banned. He can change IPS.

Like MAD, viewing this board is easy via covert means.

So maybe you could help think of a solution, other than disabling the images?

Block his IP, and block the common IP proxy sites. Make it very inconvenient for him to sneak back on. His sock puppets should be easy to spot - ban them every time. Maybe eventually he'll go away, try this same crap on 4chan, and discover the real downside of his approach to life.

[_TrashcanMan79]

Ban Joseph anyway.

[_3sheets2thewind]

we can't have images because joseph the twat and hypocrite, deems any use of an image, even fair use of an image for i.e. parody to be a violation of copyright.

ban joseph by IP, mac address, email address, and when you ban Joseph tell him that his return to the board unless explicitly invited back by the board owner will be deemed trespass and that a civil/criminal complaint will be filed.

Who is really in charge of this board? Is it Shades?

No.

It's Joseph.
