I think that should be "stupid bastards". If they were arrogant they wouldn't have taken the site down when it was discovered. If they weren't stupid they would have thought about this ahead of time. Long ago in the early days of the Internet as a mainstream resource (mid 1990's), there was much debate over whether image search engines could save copies of other people's images on their own servers. (IIRC, Bill Robb had a run-in with one search engine and PUG images over this issue). The courts decided that it was OK if the saved images were just thumbnails. The stupid bastards in question were copying and saving the full-sized images, not just thumbnails. If just a couple of these images had been registered by the copyright owners the stupid bastards would have been in a world of hurt. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
