# A bloke is claiming ownership rights to no hands!

EDIT. Ha ha. His site's down!

# Site's back up, thanks.
And neither I nor Jake are claiming ownership of nohands - he was a foster kitten and I have no idea who he belongs to now. The _photo_ of nohands, however, was definitely taken by Jake. And since he doesn't care how people use it, it's effectively in the public domain. But not because it was posted on a web site. _That's_ the point I'm trying to make. Internet != Public Domain.

Christ. If I can get the people who live in that apartment now to let me in and take a picture of the windowsill, would that prove anything? Or would people just claim that I'd faked it?

# Up yer arse cockswabber.
No no no ... can't have been me.
I'm just a bit wary of inter-board flaming wars ... I've seen boards and usenet groups rendered effectively unusable when that happens.

# about ten years ago
I watched something like alt.lesbian.vegan and a handful of hindu vegetarian newsgroups dragged into a discussion about whether vegetarians were actually child abusers if they didn't feed their children good healthy american beef.
Very pretty. Some twats really can't comprehend that the people on the other side of the ascii are actually people.

# Yeah he is a twat
But as nobody else has claimed ownership, and nobody has made any money out of it.

What is he complaining about!

Tell everyone it's his cat. Fine. Tell people to stop using the picture, that's just petty. He should be pleased something of his has become so popular!

# he does have a point though
still, I like to rebel against little things for no particular reason, so I'll just be joining this side of the argument

# Which side?
the one were we get to use no hands?
Or the one where we dont?

# Well
Why did the twat not do it to start with?
could have saved a bit of aggro
but he would have got rid of some of the world fluffyness.

# To give him the benefit of the doubt*
he could well have put a copyright notice on the original image when it first slipped onto the web. That doesn't stop somebody else from copying it and posting it somewhere like ratemykitten.

(I think nohands is overrated anyway - clive is far superior)

(* = to drag this argument out until it drops into the archives)

# Except that's not how copyright works
You don't have to put a copyright notice on something for it to be copyrighted. See www.bitlaw.com/copyright/obtaining.html for more information, particularly the "Automatic Creation" paragraph. Since 1978, a copyright notice has only been a formality, not actually required.

# I never told anybody to stop using the picture.
Where in my post did I tell anybody to stop using the picture? I pointed out that posting something to the internet is not the same thing as putting it in the public domain, and that resources exist for finding out how to get permission to use material in derivative works. I never said that anyone should stop using the image, because I know that the person who took the original photo doesn't care, and occasionally gets a kick out of seeing his kitten photo used in a good photoshop job or flash animation.
