Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
If he used a picture of me without permission I would sue the shit out of them too.
Rules are rules.. You use copyrighted material with out permission you suffer the consequences.
Why are the consequences to turn over absolutely everything about how the organization runs? Pay the damages and move on, I can't see any reason RMGO should have to turn over anything.Originally Posted by Colorado_Outback

I'm not saying what they are asking for is right.
I'm saying if RMGO had used their brains a little they wouldn't be in this position.
Ah my mistake. I agree though...with social media these days why would ANYBODY use a copyrighted image? Not smart.

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?

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:

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.

The mailer was not used for RMGO purposes, it was used to campaign for an election. RMGO was not involved. It was not used to generate donations, it was used as an attack ad of the opponent.

I see that now,missed it the first time. Either way RMGO must have been involved some how being served with a subpoena and all.
