To AV or not to AV

[chromebutterfly]

Sorry SY but I think you have gone to far.

This site is about freedom of expression and to my mind that has to be both visual as well as written. What an individual chooses to post as their av is up to them. It took me ages to have the bottle to change from a fake one (the blue pic of a slim naked lady for anyone whole might remember) to a real one of me. My breasts are my only asset in my own opinion, though I know there are plenty of people who like BBWs I don't like my shape and won't post anything else because of it.

My only problem with av's come when someone takes mine and adds "extras" and adopts it for their own use. One of these people is a friend, a good friend, who knows me and I have no problem with his short term use. The other barely knows me, added "cum" all over it and used it for a relatively long period of time. Knew I should have copyrighted it

My breasts, my av, my choice!!!!!!!

As far as I know, any picture you take, drawing or painting or sculpture you make, or any writing you write is automatically copyrighted. No one should take your AV and re-use it without your permission. Does anyone else know about this? Please message me if you do...

WHAT WORKS ARE PROTECTED?

Copyright protects "original works of authorship" that are fixed in a tangible form of expression. The fixation need not be directly perceptible so long as it may be communicated with the aid of a machine or device. Copyrightable works include the following categories:

1. literary works;
2. musical works, including any accompanying words
3. dramatic works, including any accompanying music
4. pantomimes and choreographic works
5. pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works
6. motion pictures and other audiovisual works
7. sound recordings
8. architectural works

These categories should be viewed broadly. For example, computer programs and most "compilations" may be registered as "literary works"; maps and architectural plans may be registered as "pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works."

Is it legal to download works from peer-to-peer networks and if not, what is the penalty for doing so?
Uploading or downloading works protected by copyright without the authority of the copyright owner is an infringement of the copyright owner's exclusive rights of reproduction and/or distribution. Anyone found to have infringed a copyrighted work may be liable for statutory damages up to $30,000 for each work infringed and, if willful infringement is proven by the copyright owner, that amount may be increased up to $150, 000 for each work infringed. In addition, an infringer of a work may also be liable for the attorney's fees incurred by the copyright owner to enforce his or her rights.
Whether or not a particular work is being made available under the authority of the copyright owner is a question of fact. But since any original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium (including a computer file) is protected by federal copyright law upon creation, in the absence of clear information to the contrary, most works may be assumed to be protected by federal copyright law.
Since the files distributed over peer-to-peer networks are primarily copyrighted works, there is a risk of liability for downloading material from these networks. To avoid these risks, there are currently many "authorized" services on the Internet that allow consumers to purchase copyrighted works online, whether music, ebooks, or motion pictures. By purchasing works through authorized services, consumers can avoid the risks of infringement liability and can limit their exposure to other potential risks, e.g., viruses, unexpected material, or spyware.

Gee Fagin, as much as I enjoyed finding Nemo next to your name, I must say the last two choices have been enjoyed too.

Obviously there was a reason for Subtly Yours to start this thread but I doubt he/she (never checked) expected no backlash - something about Forest Gump is running through my mind at the moment. Obviously not a wise action to single out one person, but then again maybe that was the agenda.

Thank you. 'Tis quite a change.

I agree it is quite the change.....

Perhaps he got the message using this name but I wonder if his other names were so educated?

people like that don't learn. it's a needed psychological change and probably not forthcoming.
