Downloading Images - Please Read
I received a note from Lesigner Girl (head honchette at Runboard) saying they received a complaint about a photo posted here from a copyrighted site.
It's apparent that *someone* with malice in her heart filed the complaint. And that *someone* will no doubt be looking for other ways to cause us mischief.
Copyright violations are rightly considered serious by the Runboard folks because they don't want to be sued.
So, let's make sure that any images posted come from open source material.
Thankee much.

A good reminder, boss-fella. I know it's easy to overlook in the heat of the moment.

Gotcha, Mr. Frank!
We'll need to use descriptive sentences or paragraphs from now on.

Quite a visual, yes? Yeah, it's doable.

Re: Linking to images - Please read
Frank, so how can we tell if a photo is from "open source" material?

Re: Linking to images - Please read
Most copyrighted images say so, either on the image itself, or on the page that hosts the image.
If in doubt, it's okay to link to the original image but don't upload it to the post.
Hmmm...I should change the title of this thread. Linking isn't as much the issue as borrowing/dl-ing the image itself to post here.

Re: Downloading Images - Please Read
In other words it's okay to post something like this? And let a reader choose whatever image might work best in a situation?

That's fine, Kitty. And chances are, you could have isolated many of the other images and not had a problem. But with Lil/West...whomever... on patrol and prepared to tattle, we'd best err on the safe side.

I had a good one, too, but I'd need a warning sign.
