I haven't seen a bad idea that I didn't like.

If they ever got taken to court over it they can probably claim fair use, not entirely sure it would be too effective but it’s a decent chance (we use it to protect ED all the time): http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html

But anyway Wylins pic actually made me uncomfortable a tad and I don’t want to see that again, maybe it’s because I don’t have kids or see them naked on a regular basis, I think the majority of people don’t either.

And Hobo’s was an inoffensive joke taken too seriously and if they got taken to court for that it would get thrown out so fast.

Yeh, honestly, I agree.

Also, I’m a Music Business, and Copyright Law is basically half my clbumes right now (Between Intellectual Property and Business Law.)

I actually have an exam on Copyright defenses and exemptions tomorrow morning; while you’re correct that fair use is a defense they can claim, in ED’s case, as an Encyclopedia of sorts, it gets around it by being a “teaching” exemption, I would imagine.

ForumWarz is in every aspect a commercial business, and using these images for commercial gain would almost bumuredly not fall within fair use.

EDIT: Sorry for going off-topic; not posting any more on this topic.
