So it was a booby trap?

To take our booty

I can surely live without the thread, just seems like taking a sledgehammer to kill a mosquito.
I spend 1% of my time on here on that thread.
The other 99% is split between Talking Rams football, Other Sports discussion, Off topic conversation and lying about the 1% in the boobie thread

Yeah it's not my thread it was here long before me. But I think I kind of revived it. Now I'm probably lying the thirst most regular poster in there. Whatever the mods decide is fine with me. I generally just share stuff that is shared with me so no big deal. I spend more time browsing for sports news than new tiddies to post.

I have never been on it, however, something must of changed agreed that this was the first incident, but it was multiple and shut down the site for several days and caused a ton of work for @CGI_Ram so IMO, it's more like taking a flyswatter to a mosquito and the decision should be left up to the mods.

As someone who enforces my own copyright, it's actually really easy, Google allows you to upload an images as a search option, showing all sites with the image. And companies operate AI, who are much faster than humans.

That’s interesting. So if you have an image, you can have Google or AI search all sites for that image?

My mother had several of her paintings pirated for sale on ebay and a couple auction sites. I’d like to know more about how that works. In the past, I’ve done searches with her name to find them. But the return is generally full of other crap to sift through.

That's a legit point but the question is whether CURRENT tracking / identification technology NOW makes it far easier to identify "Copyright Violations" ... and, as a result, the Issue will NOW come-up far more often.

If that's the case, then the lack of prior incidents is irrelevant. Don't you think?

I have never been on it,

Your loss.

Personally, I found my Future Wife on those threads ... 147 Different times!

Happy it has worked out for you 147 times. Not sure why, I guess I just stick to Rams and college football threads, maybe I need to broaden my horizons.

There are some broad horizo s there. Even broader in the booty thread.

 

[Allen2McVay]

Appreciate the good thought but ... unfortunately ... it has NOT worked-out well.

I just can not figure-out what to do with my Current Wife.

Googles basic version is really easy to use, but not always 100% accurate. You can search the image and add words like your mother's name to narrow down results.

It also finds the locations of photos, its rather scary in some cases. It could identify a specific mountain from a rather cloudy shot i took.

But yes that's the basics, google uses AI its just nicer to say Google. (10 years ago Google went on a spending spree and got loads of AI and robotics companies and we all got very worried. But everyone forgot about it)

in that regard I like to quote the great Roger Staubach, when they were comparing his straight lace style to Joe Namath...Roger said: "I like sex as much as Joe does, I just prefer to do it with one woman."

 

[RamFan503]

To be somewhat clear, any photo or work of art is automatically copyrighted once the photo or piece of art is put to media. In other words, once a picture is taken, the person taking that picture owns it unless it is somehow determined to be public domain.

I’m not sure how the booty or booby threads are any different than any other thread.

We ask that anyone using someone else’s writings (articles) properly cite them. Not sure how we would do that with photos if they have been pulled off of other sources that essentially have already published copyrighted works.

I’m not sure of the specifics of the law but it would seem that if a picture is put up anywhere on the site, it could fall under the same rules - booty or otherwise.

I believe he said that to Phyllis George. A harmless, throw-away comment today but it received a ton of attention 50 years ago.

Could the thread not come under copyright 'fair use' exeption for "criticism and review"?

I don't understand USA law but it seems lots of Youtubers getting away with it using that loophole

 

[Allen2McVay]

...
I don't understand USA law ...

Neither do I ... and I have (proudly) lived in the United States my entire life ... and ... I was a lawyer.

My guess is that someone (unknowingly) posted a photo that's paywalled or for subscribers only. It's pretty common, and some content creators are more vigilant than others.

Or maybe a particular person wants some photos scrubbed from the web.

To me this is over reach by the agency. Some guy 5'6" 280 pounds wearing plaid shirts with a pocket protector. Has coke bottle bottom glasses with a receding hairline. Smells of bad body odor. Decided the exert some authority because no one likes him. From his mom's basement. And chose this site. I could see if someone's trying to profit from it. But its a damn forum with sports fans who like to post stuff for entertainment. What's next? The Make Us Laugh thread?
