You STATED the rule.

Magazines are protected by copyrights, so unless Steve copyrighted those pictures, they're public domain.

You are mistaken if you believe intellectual property of any kind is not protected by copyright just because it's on the internet. Do some research. As Stefen already stated, it just happens to be much easier to break the law on the internet.

This is really odd. I just got off the phone with Steve. He told me he did not join this group today and certainly would not have granted permission to use the last two photos, which are mine, not his.

I know, I know. I'm just being a drama queen again. Sorry.

I suggest you do some more research. I work on computers and websites so I am very familiar with copyright law. Thats' why I asked if Steve copyrighted his pictures.

I really am curious to know who registered using Steve's name. Was it Glen Hyde? Or maybe Carl Armstrong? Or maybe Mr. Mustard? The butler? Only the shadow knows for sure.

Nope. Just looks like some odd number but does not match with anyone's here I can see?

I don't know!? But I think you might be fun to play games with :naughty: or not. :mrgreen:

Why sweat the small stuff. :nod: --- and I am suppose to have my nose buried and writing and the drama has my attention. :frustrated:

My deadline is getting too close for games.

But then games are more fun than writing. :cool2:

And I should keep my mouth shut because I am just rambling. I have no answers and no clue what is going on. I just don't see it as a big deal.

What kinda games do you like? Hubba hubba.

If it involves ropes, I'm your guy.
