Cypress Sun Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Gocomics is a pretty good site for viewing the comics. They may not have all of your favorites, they have quite a few and it's free to view. Damn shame that you can't even post a cartoon for others to enjoy without the site host getting sued by some big conglomerate company. 3 1 Quote

I think that eventually, this will end up in court, but it will take a company with deep pockets to fight the companies that are buying up the digital rights. If I take a picture, modify it by making it a MEME, or photoshop it into something else, did I not just create a new piece of digital art? That will be the question that ultimately needs to be answered, but solving that will take a whole lot more $$$$$ than settling out of court like SASS and others have been doing. While I certainly understand the need for copyright protections, this has gotten way out of hand. If the picture is not watermarked, or trademarked clearly, then it should be free game for any and all. Just my $0.02, and worth what I was paid for it. 2 1 Quote
Pat Riot Posted January 23 Posted January 23 There are some that believe everything on the internet should be fair game. Others want controls on everything on the internet. It’s frustrating. There are companies buying up everything that used to be “free” or available on the internet. Old news stories and newspaper articles used to be free and available. Now, it seems companies have bought the old newspaper’s articles and cataloged them for sale or an access fee. Years ago when I worked in LA I was a manager on the Pasadena Gold Line light rail system. I did the start up. One day at a public event a photographer from the LA Times took my photograph at a station platform. It was a nice photo. I wanted a copy of it. I was told “No! Buy a paper.” So I did. One day, about 5 years ago I found that image online. It had a big “Getty Images” banner emblazoned across it. I clicked a link to see if I could get a copy of it. I could, for $110. I contacted the Getty website and got a phone number and I called to ask why I would need to pay for an image of me. The response was “We own it. You want it? Pay us.” I was then informed the cost would be $1200! I said some very nasty things to the man and hung up. A few years after that image was taken I took some photos on the Lynx Light Rail in Charlotte during the start up. I took one picture that is historical in the light rail & trolley world. I took a photo of historic “Car 85”, a 1920’s vintage trolley car at a station platform with a brand new Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) across the station platform from it. That was the one and only time Car 85 went to the mainline. I took the image and blew it up into a poster. Our CEO saw it and wanted a copy. I gave him a digital copy. He in turn gave the image to the Charlotte Trolley Museum with the caveat that any posting of that image should be credited to me. A few years ago I found MY image on a real estate website in Charlotte. I called to ask them to remove my photo from their website. They said “Nope! We own it. We copyrighted it. It is not yours. You can take us to court but you’ll be wasting your time.” I talked to a copyright lawyer and was told that the image of Car 85 and the LRV belongs to whoever copyrighted it, regardless if I have the original image stored on a camera and a jump drive. Going to court would be a waste of time. Over a period of time I gave up on it. it’s not worth the hassle. These days if I see a pro looking photographer or news reporter taking photos in my direction I flip them off and maintain that gesture until the camera pans or is taken out of use. I do it just because I can. Screw ‘em! 3 1 Quote
Alpo Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I got an idea. I will describe the funny picture. Y'all use your imagination. It's a drinking cup. It has a picture on it of Batman. It has a care label. Apparently putting it in the dishwasher will wash the picture away. HAND WASH ONLY SPANISH HAND WASH ONLY FRENCH HAND WASH ONLY 1 1 Quote

Alpo Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Two guys are standing next to a car. They got a slim Jim. They are trying desperately to get the door unlocked because they have locked the keys in the car. The rear seat window is plastic and duct tape. Maybe that's how they got in the last time? 1 Quote

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Adding on to Pat’s post, a lot of people use instagram to post personal pictures - family, vacations et al. What most don’t know is that instagram can legally sell the rights to your photo to another entity without your permission. So basically, the public is building a big stock photo library for them for free. 2 Quote

Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I was just wondering if maybe THEY should pay US for sharing their paraphernalia with folks who, otherwise, may not get to witness the wittiness, or otherwise, of their "product"; ............ I mean, it's not like we're "on-selling" it for profit. 😇 2 Quote

Alpo Posted January 30 Posted January 30 The cake mix aisle in a grocery store. All of the boxes of cake mix - devil's food cake, red velvet cake, sour cream chocolate cake - are sitting there correctly. The pineapple upside down cake boxes are upside down. Hey, I just had a thought. Pineapple upside down cake. Pineapple. Upside down. Oz. Pizza. Wallaby Jack. Coincidence? 1 Quote
