A registered letter from your atty to Joerg

$20 at the local "law-R-us" place. Gratis if
you have a buddy that's an atty.
I'm pretty hip to intellectual property rights.
NOBODY steals my material and gets away with it.

The problem is DLR needs to know that this guy is posting my stuff.
Policing stolen images is a lot of work. Anyway, I don't have a beef
with the webmaster as much as the turds in the forum. A good thing
people email me and let me know what is stolen so I can get flickr or
imageshack to remove the images.
Get a load of this website:

These assholes have the nerve to say "courtesy Lazygranch" without
ever contacting me.
A google search of lazygranch and "fair use" turns up nearly 30 pages
of stolen photos.
I asked a reporter about fair use. Generally anything you get from the
government that they distribute is fair use. This includes FOIA
information, which I wasn't exactly sure of at the time. Now if the
government sells the information, such as the FAA, I'm hesitant to
upload it. The trouble with the FAA documents is they often
incorporate proprietary information, so this really gets messy.
The next step up from fair use is "derivative". Now that gets
interesting. If you alter a photo sufficiently, it is considered to be
unique, even if derived from another photo. Hence:
http://www.lazygranch.com/images/egg/guards2.jpg
is legit.
