Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
In defense of Dudley... what if he found it via a google images search and there was no copyright information with the picture? Did you know that all your pictures posted to FB are not your copyrighted material, it becomes property of FB and can be used by them for whatever purpose they want?Originally Posted by Colorado_Outback

Dudley is a dumbass, plain and simple. Ignorance is a poor defense.
What if you found a copy of Steven Kings Cujo online with no author or copy right info on it? Is it right for you to slap your name on that and use it for what ever you want?
Exactly why I don't use any social media, and try to limit my exposure all places online.

True... but your Cujo example was a bit off... A picture- if located for stock photo purposes, is a totally different deal than an entire book found online with author info removed. I was just saying perhaps Dudley thought he was grabbing a stock photo (for those that don't know, those are photos with open sources so anyone can use them) and this turned out not to be...

Whos responsibility was it to make sure that the material being used is in fact open source/ stock photo? Thats right, RMGO.
Ill say it again:
If RMGO had used their brains a little they wouldn't be in this position.
And I really do think its the same thing, he stole someone elses property and used it to generate revenue in the form of donations.
Theft is theft.

Utterly and completely untrue. Where do people get ideas like this?
Stock photos are copyrighted by the photograph and licensed by the stock agency like all other copyrighted material.
And if you copy them, the stock photo agency will demand money and get it or sue you.
Don't copy photos from the internet. Unless you fully understand the licensing.

Lack of a (C) next to an image does not even remotely mean it's not a copyrighted image. Additionally, a Google image search pulls up every image they (Google) can find on that search topic, with copyright info often being cropped off the images.
Just because every single pistol in your local gun shop doesn't explicitly say "do not steal" on it doesn't mean you can walk out the door with it without paying. While the internet has made IP theft far easier than it ever has been before, it's still very much theft.
Oh I can see the emails demanding money to fight this assault on our 2A rights.
Good info ^^
Thanks for posting.
Thats why I dont do that facebook shit.
