On a sidenote,
Aren't we protected from the DMCA by laws governing parody? My guess is there's a thin like inbetween parody and libel, though.
(emcake putting a donk on it since, Wed 14 Nov 2007, 23:15, archived)

The Parody thing is US specific I believe.
That said, B3tards is US hosted.
( Pedantichrist twitter.com/LordManley, Wed 14 Nov 2007, 23:16, archived)

DMCA is American isn't it?
Then again, IIRC, the servers are in America?

Yes, in Houston.
B3tards is in California

cr3 hosting is in france

So if we all moved our images to cr3ation, would we be safe?
to frogland!

It isn't, it's in the US.

tricky one as there's
parody and theres people who wave pitchforks and torches shouting "burn him/her he/she's a witch etc" around these parts
( sPUNKer do your pictures for nothing get abuse for free, Wed 14 Nov 2007, 23:17, archived)

I'd hope we're protected from the DCMA
by virtue of not being in the USA
( le brian ..., Wed 14 Nov 2007, 23:17, archived)

You'd think so, wouldn't you
That doesn't seem to stop 'em usually.

Even said, I think parody use is in english law too
(emcake putting a donk on it since, Wed 14 Nov 2007, 23:19, archived)

Apparently not
Says that Register article linked down there
( le brian ..., Wed 14 Nov 2007, 23:23, archived)

Nope.
Parody is US specific.

Rob can't really suffer as long as he continues to take reasonable steps to prevent us taking the piss, which involves asking in the FAQs and telling us on the board really.

The hosting of the images could be sued, but again reasonable measures to stop us would be enough.

I think he stands no chance and it's daft because he's just making himself a target.

I also disagree that anyone would be overly hurt by these images, certainly the hippy riding a badger bandwagon was as offensive and I enjoyed it.

It doesn't make sense to make enemies with the internets in these days
if I ever become famous i'll just shop pictures of myself being chased by badgers or something

That's not real is it?
The announcement I mean.

Tell me it isn't?

Ta.
Some people just can't take a joke, eh? At least rob won't sue us for putting pictures of him up.
(emcake putting a donk on it since, Wed 14 Nov 2007, 23:22, archived)

I like this bit
"We also ask our members to avoid photoshoping Prince" as if it might happen by accident...

"I'll just photoshop this kitten... ah fuck, it's turned out as Prince with a coconut sticking out of his arse... Bastard."

that made me chuckle heartily that did :D

"I don't think the people who posted them would like to be on receiving end of that kind of treatment.

"There's poking fun and there's poking fun and people are clearly taking it too far and crossing over the boundaries of what is acceptable."

THIS IS B3ta!

New image challenge: photoshop websherriff as far up an 'unidentifiable' arse as possible.

Been suggested
Rob used his veto, wants to move on. Can't say I'm shocked. Still shouldn't have apologised, or really took the piss!
( Dabooka_ has changed his name on, Wed 14 Nov 2007, 23:38, archived)

now where can I get a picture of that twat at Web Sheriff?
oh yeah, at their website

Who, John Giacobbi?
Hmmmmm, wonder how he'd like being given the "Pr*nce treatment" on b3ta.

I sense another front-page apology
:P

it's simple
there's laws that have varying degrees of reasonableness that allow rights to whatever party

then, there's people with a lot of money, who make it irrelavent
