A pic without copyright symbol is public domain - GoFuckYourself.com

Corona · 02-09-2002, 04:12 PM

There is an article in Wired Magazine this month about the porn industry called, The Naked Truth.

There is a guy in there that runs a celeb website and has a lawsuit pending by Alyssa Milano for posting her nude pics.

It also says that he has lots of stolen content on his site. He says that it is not a problem since there was no copyright symbol on the pictures.

I wonder where he found an attorney that would argue that in court?

I talk to these guys sometimes. They simply don't want to hear the truth. Then, there are the guys who think that once a photo appears in a newsgroup it becomes public domain.

I'd say "Good luck in court," except that I don't hope is luck is good. The more morons end up paying dearly, the more the rest of the crowd will get the message: There are only two types of public domain photos: 1) those which are so old they are out of copyright (want to set up a French Postcard site?), and those which have been placed in the public domain in writing by the copyright holder...and you'd better be holding the piece of paper.

Alyssa Milano's legal team will take him to court, take him to the cleaners, and take him out.

What ever happened to the days when newsgroups used to be fun? Now it's all spam.... Given the webmasters on this board, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised.
