Obama Gets His Gun

[inerlogic]

why don't you go to the library of congress website and read about them instead of being an ignorant idiot?

....
please tell me where you're getting your knowledge of copyright law, because i'm a photographer and i know the law... and you have no frakking clue....

And the fact that my full time employer sues lots of folks every year for "parody" of your logo. If it was as easy as saying it was a "parody", we wouldn't have such a huge legal team.

Not to mention, I am a photographer part time as well, and I'm pretty familiar with copyright law since I had photos infringed upon a few years back when a "for hire" contractor ended up not paying in full, but used images anyway.

Please tell me how trademark infringement (logo shit) has ANYTHING to do with copyright law (pro tip: it doesn't)

Trademarks have to be defended and you can't have a logo that purposely misleads customers into thinking you're someone else.... Sadly, you are wrong again..... Ask Starbucks how many people they've sued for parodying their mermaid logo...... Just because someone has deeper pockets and more shyster lawyers, doesn't make them right.... I can, if I wanted to spend the time and money, sue you for having the word "Poll" in your username...... That's a fact chief..... And if I had deep pockets, it could stick.....

Go to bed, you're wrong.

So, what you are saying is I can pull any image I want from your portfolio, parody it by throwing a domo kun on it and put it up on my website as a "joke"? Can I use it on a TV show? What about as a background for a blue screen shot in a music video. I'm just making a parody f your photo!

This. The pictures were getting better and better. Spread this .gov picture as much as you can, they can pound sand.

I'm over it. Homeslice Photog over there can keep hacking up the image if he wants.

I took the pic.

I hereby beg you..... I mean give you permission to hack and modify to your hearts content

Just share please

As I typed this a female on top of a celebrators shoulders in Baltimore flashed her Tatas on CNN

Sorry. I was distracted.

Oh yeah. Share the pics.

Did this thread really devolve into a pissing contest about copyrights?

...

I don't like you. I blame you for this.

Let's get this thread back on the rails, shall we?

Now, I'm not sure why THIS image came back on a google image search for "obama skeet shooting parody", but I've included it here for comic relief:

My favorite (I have small children)

And Big Bird thought ROMNEY was tough!

I'm too lazy and untalented to create it myself, but somebody whomp up an Obama Skeet pic shooting Big Bird! We could email it to Mittens!

 

[OfficerObie59]

Did you all read this?

Don't worry, no one here approves...so the pics are fair game.

Remember the line most people seem to have a problem with is the "The photograph may not be manipulated in any way..."

That line doesn't have any qualifier for the particular use of the photo--and it need not be used to suggest an endorsement of the President.

I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing. If your tax dollars paid for it, its in the public domain.

Remember, I said "US Government" works. Works by states or smaller political subdivisions outside of the Federal government can indeed hold copyrights if I'm not mistaken.

What he said is he is a "big hunter, I go hunting every weekend, I shoot skeet"

How long do you have to boil the skeet to soften them up, or maybe he wants them crunchy
