Beginings of a new morph.

[WingedWolfPsion]

I know that there are good, legitimate reasons to want to use photos from other sources. Educational pages are a good example. This is why I have contributed images of ball pythons, including a few morphs, to Wikimedia Commons. With nothing more than a small attribution, they're free for anyone to use. There's a spider, an albino, a female on eggs, a female inverted basking, eggs in an incubator, and more. I plan to add additional ball python photos in the future, including some images that I will release into the public domain.

They aren't quite as perfect as work by a professional photographer, to say the least...but they can be legally used, unlike the former.

I just used NERD as my example, but any owned photo will do. Thanks slim!

Oh c'mon Slim, dontcha think we'd make a decent tag team in court? Don't wanna take your glory though. LOL

Honest question. How come it always ends up with the person caught red handed threatening lawsuits? They realize we know they're full of it, right? And even if he did manage to make that a reality, does he not realize that a day in court against someone like Slim is gonna turn into the worst day of his life? Got guts, gotta give him that.

He's been caught breaking copyright law, quite frankly, and thinks he has a leg to stand on in court for whatever reason.

It's crossed the line into sad.

I think we would make an awesome tag team in court, but I didn't want to drag you into anything

He has promised a law suit, and I sent him my contact info and address so his lawyer can send the papers. We'll see where he takes it from here.

He wants to sue you?
That's like me shooting a guy. You catch me and call me on it, then turn around and say I'm going to sue.

[Slim]

He wants to sue you?

He has promised that if he can track the loss of even one penny of business back to this thread, he will sue me.

Of course when he sent that PM, I forgot to mention that since I will never buy an animal from him, that I guess he has his proof of lost business, and should sue away....I hate it when you think of a good one after the fact

[moonlightgdess]

Are the courts going to use his website as proof of his business? Y'know, the one with all the stolen images?

If you left the watermark on the photo and had a caption that said: Epic Killer Clown produced by Kevin McCurley at NERD then i doubt kevin would mind or it would be illegal. This is a pretty friendly hobby and not everones out to get eachother

With that said, im no expert so dont take my words as the law lol!!!

I think your right that Kevin would most likely not care, seeing as it would be free advertising, but Im pretty sure for it to be legal he would need written consent saying its ok to use his photos.

HCC you can sue me too if you want. I will never buy from you after the way you have acted in this thread. I also will make sure no one i know buys from you until you really start acting like you belong in this hobby. And right now, you dont.
OH YEA: and i dont buy from thieves!!! Thieves, liars, cheats, i cant stand any of them...
