# Why hasn't anyone ever taken legal action against Zoo and Nuts for stealing from B3ta?
They'd be covered under international copyright law and surely they'd have a case if they kept the original image files.

When you optimize your images to be uploaded you loose information, right? So having the original file with that missing information proves you're the creator, doesn't it?

Why not teach them a lesson and give the money to a kitten rescue or something.

# Cos taking legal action involves having money?
I don't know. Ask Riverghost or Archie.

# Nuts are actually being very nice now and paying us money
for the images used...Zoo can fuck off

# Strangely enough
My job today involved ringing Zoo. And Nuts. I was very very tempted to say 'And by the way - bastards!' before hanging up, but thought the boss wouldn't be too impressed.

# haha :)

Zoo are the enemy now..viva la NUTS!! :D

# so are Zoo still printing our stuff?
If they are, having Nuts all legitimate with us is a far stronger argument and threat to them.

# not sure to be honest

you're making a tidy profit from them :D

# I've had vouchers
no cash yet. But Archie has so I'm hopeful!
(I helped save b3ta! HappyToast Groat froth, Wed 7 May 2008, 21:36, archived)
# Perhaps not least
because I'd bet that at least half the work on here is based on other people's source images in the first place, which makes a copyright argument slightly suspect. Also Zoo are now crediting the people from B3ta who made the images (which seems to be Happy Toast, The Great Architect + Guest of the Week). Unless it's Nuts that's crediting.


Edit: Nuts it is. Sod Zoo.

# Unless the b3ta image
has been created using entirely original drawings or photographs, then the b3tan who made has no claim over the copyright of the image. You cannot claim ownership of an image you made by cobbling together stuff you found on a google image search.

Even with completely original work, although you may technically hold copyright over the work you create, you still need to be able to fund legal action to prove this. And the magazine publishers have more lawyers and deeper pockets than you.

Also, they have actually been asking for permission recently.

# Really? I know documentaries that use copyrighted footage have trouble, but do collages?
And I wonder how much they could really be bothered to get their lawyers involved.

And I think you can get a lawyer involved if there's money for him to make in the process.

# Or why not just get Getty Images involved if they're the only copyright holders who can gripe
(I helped save b3ta! hanke murphy, I'm a mess, Wed 7 May 2008, 21:53, archived)
# I don't believe this is correct.
A collage can be created from external work and still stand as an original piece in its own right.

I suspect it would be grist for the lawyers.

Edit: Ahhh, the gentle touch of mindpiss.
