# Hahaha. Just posted this
Actually by removing the original tag on the images and adding your own you are under copyright laws claiming direct ownership of the images you take. By which you are in complete infringement of international copyright laws and therefore putting IPC media in the direct firing line of prosecution and violating the terms and conditions you agreed to when you created your account on this forum.

I think if you try asking the owners of the images, most of them will be more than happy to let you use them.

# He did say he deleted months worth of threads
I have the feeling that this was not by his own choice.

EDIT: We have Monty to thank for the whole thing.

# What's that tiny, tiny sound?
Ah yes, the smallest violin in the world, singing a sad and mournful tune of sorrow for him.

How exciting must his life be if he spends all his time on a forum posting loads of pics for the amusement of oth - oh. Hang on a moment...

# Can someone explain...
Aren't most images that we do on this site based on existing images? So by shopping an existing image, tagging it, and reposting it, isn't that really morally/legally just as bad as what JohnX1's doing? So aren't we just as bad?

# the existing images are either in the public domain
or our own. Some of us even create our stuff from scratch without a picture. When you spend hours collaging something together from existing images and create something new you have the right to claim it as yours. The argument with idiot boy over there is the fact he removes peoples tags and adds his own. This got him a slap.

# There is a subtle difference
There was a video posted on /links a little while back explaining copyright law using disney characters. If you use something for parody or teaching it counts as 'fair use' which is a leagally defensible position. So they can't sue you.

What he has done is just taken someone elses work, not made his own parody.

EDIT: Video here
