Chain of events...
1.) Necrohiphop posted copyright material without the permission of the copyright holders. So they were breaking the law, and it is within the rights of the copright holders to do something about it.
2.) The copyright holders contacted Necrohiphop asking them to do something about their board being used for a crime. At this point, the board becomes liable for the crime.
3.) Necrohiphop refuses to remove the images. At this point, tehy are just as guilty as the people who stole the images.
4.) Because Necrohiphop broke the law, and stole from the copyright holders, the host was contacted and the site was shut down.
I get all of this, so far. Someone screwed up, and they got punished for it. Plain and simple. Then, though, it gets interesting...
5.) The person who runs the board comes on here and tells us we're all scum, because *some* of the thousands of users of this board had his site shut down for breaking the law.
6.) Some kid from the board comes on here, talking like an idiot and saying that violence in real life is the only solution to all of this.
I don't get it. What makes these people think that *anything* gives them the right to steal our photos? And, beyond that, what kind of idiot tries to attack people for stopping him from committing a crime? No complaints about our attitude, our prices, or any such bullshit change the fact that the guy didn't take down the photos.
