actually, APIC emailed everyone except me. A simple email to myself asking to remove the pics would have done it. So they rubbed me the wrong way off the bat. One of my buddies had APIC email his university. ouch! (it almost sounds too crazy for me to believe.) i didn't need an email to my hoster and a CC to playboy, i would have removed the pictures on my own. i was knew at this and i didn't realize it was a big deal at the time. but they must hate guys like me (like i use to be).
...and the playboy thing, playboy never responded to the CC... as if they didn't care. My host sure did, gave me a day to remove all pics even though I wasn't sure which ones APIC were bitching about. they were all non legit, but APIC doesn't cover everyone. i was wondering whether they could force me to remove playboy pics or not, wouldn't playboy themselves have to come after me?
This issue is rather dumb I guess, I know it's wrong to use content u do not own the rights to, but I am interested in the legal aspects about this whole thing.
oh yeah, ever hear that if the picture is small or of less quality, the copyright doesn't hold up? for instance, thumb nails are always legal... or if the quality (information) is only 12% of the original u can use it as if it were a sound bite. any truth to this?
