Andries, you're legally in the right here, but it's not like you're in a French maid's costume here. Your best bet is to ignore it.

isn't Red a lawyer? we should get his opinion on this issue, even a ruling perhaps.

He studied law. He's not a lawyer yet.

Seems to me that the whole point of Burke even sporting Andries' photo is because he know Andries can't ignore it. (The irony being this isn't terribly like the baiting Andries often gives...and receives.)

Let me have an offline chat here. I think we've all wasted more than enough time on this already.

I see this place was lively today.

So you tell me why Burke is still a moderator. I think that my initial reaction was more than civil, Burke should have taken it down. If he doesn't take it down, he should resign.

I study law too. Just had an exam about intellectual property. Therefore I find it kind of funny that someone says facebook is public domain. Is Adidas public domain too? And that's not even the point: no matter where and how he obtained the picture he should have my permission.

I could imagine Burke in court:

"But it's a piiicture of a piiiicture"

What a loser.

I'm trying to convince Burke to remove your picture and have either my picture as his avatar or Del Piero's.

 

[icemaη]

I object him using your picture as avatar. Unless, of course, if its in full veil

I'll try that too.

But I think Burke is into these kind of pictures. I know he loves Peroni.

Yo, German boy, use this and make me proud.

 

[icemaη]

Peroni

This is me as a chubby little kid in Zambia. You can use this picture, Burke. However you can only use it on this forum.

 

[Buck Fuddy]

You have (had?) a tail?



Oh, wait...

I like the Andries.

These last few pages have been hilarious!

I'm not a mod any more, so I have no say in the matter.

If you feel strongly that he should be removed, write a short, calm pm stating your case to Greg or one of the other mods. They'll discuss it privately.

Similarly, as this site is hosting copyright infringing material (the photo), if you request that the mods remove Burke's avatar, they will probably feel obliged to do so in order to protect the site from potential action. It is one of their functions as mods.

I knew it was only a matter of time before that was brought up.

I'd wager to say there are a few hundred, if not thousand, pictures on this forum that fall under this same definition of illegal.

Not quite. One assumes that there is consent when there is no complaint. However, here there is a complaint so there is no consent so Burke cannot use the image.

It's all very easy.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

BUT IT'S A PICTURE OF A PICTURE!

 

[Seven]

Yes, I got that.
