# i just had a thought
after that episode with Prince (the artist formally known as) a few years back and now that conversation about Nuts and Zoo mags removing tags from b3tan's images and using them without credit. I thought it might be interesting to see how far we (as a community) can take this; I'm fairly sure (I'd have to check this) that they are in breach of copyright law and therefore we have legal recourse to pursue them for damages. what does anyone reckon?
LETS BURN NUTS AND ZOO MAGAZINES TO THE GROUND

Edit: I decided irrational rage was the best paln
sorry for wordyness; now here's an uncalm kitten to calm the Nazis down:

# Done this a million times
the b3tan is almost always in breach of copyright anyway cos of the source images used.

Even if you did use entirely your own work, you'd have to fight pretty hard legally and spend lots of money.

Easier to shrug it off and calm yourself down with a nice cup of tea.

just not found away to cost effectively mass produce it.

but really do you want to walk down a shopping aisle and have jamie oliver and lloyd grosman waving at you from their sauces... *shudders*

# or do as others have done
and use the creative commons copyright thing..

non profit just need a credit.. profit they owe you money.. but again I doubt this would work if you've doctored a copywrited image.. btu then the copywrite is on the image as it was not as it is now.. although if you make money out of it i think it's only fair the original image owner gets some to.. unless they're a cunt like.

but if original image copywrite was an issue.. nuts or zoo couldn't print them in the first place...

# sigh this old shite again

Zoo = Can fuck off

Nuts = are great and now pay money and give credit.
