My Bucket is Copyrighted
There's an LJ community, [info]gothic_babes, for fashion/modelling/photography/camwhoring. A recent post was made in which the OP generally looks for constructive criticism about her modelling. Comments are fairly tame. Someone, apparently, makes a less-than-constructivecomment about the OP's weight, and is banned. The OP reacts quite graciously and doesn't let it ruffle her feathers.

Meanwhile, the now-banned commenter feels the need to vent. The response, initially, is mainly, "GTFO and stop failing."

That is, until the OP from gothic_babes appears and, in a sudden feather ruffling, feels the need to educate the community about copyright.

The community makes varying attempts at reason. The OP is not interested.

Those pictures confused me so much. I was like "Dude, it's Fort Kid, but where's the city around it?"

The original comments have been deleted by the mod, just FYI. Although the third link to the meanie's venting post kind if tells you what was said.

Here too? I've been laughing over this in sf_drama for the last couple of days.

The latest macro of her at [info]goth_macros made me laugh. Like, a lot. And then I felt bad for laughing. :(

Wow, everyone's made of fail.


If you equate "you look like a walrus in that picture" with "you're an ugly, fat, sea cow and nobody loves you", then the problem is, indeed, yours.

Walruses (Walri? WTF is the plural of walrus, anyway?) aren't ugly. They're walruses. They look how they look because of what they are.

You made the connection. Not us.


Um...no, I think that's a logical conclusion to draw from pretty much anyone.

And as for the pictures, those aren't what I'd consider modeling. That's what I'd consider wearing a semi-fancy dress and taking pictures. They're not the same thing. And they're not what I'd consider goth either.

They're seriously trying to say "You look like a walrus" isn't an insult? Wow. What did they mean then? "You live on an ice floe?"

That's the stupidest sentence I've ever read. They're kidding, right?

Like you, I don't consider her outfits or look to be goth, but maybe she identifies as goth somewhere that I didn't read.

Nah, that seems to be the "IRSRSMODUL" look. Pity, because she's adorable and I would give my right arm to photograph her with a natural smile and stuff.

Because there was no notice of copyright, the copy on that computer is now the computer user's property to do with as they please.

...you are not exactly understanding of the copyright, sir.

A couple of those shots do not suck. Mostly ones where you can't see her face, because her eyes are totally lifeless in every shot. Why, goth model chick, why?

If you didn't want to have someone "steal" your image and macro it, you shouldn't have *given* it to us

If you didn't want me to steal your money, you shouldn't have taken your wallet out in public!

If you didn't want your house robbed, you should have moved into a neighborhood where I don't B&E!

If you didn't want to be raped, why the hell are you wearing that short skirt?

Man, I love this way of blaming other people. I've got to use this at my job today: "Ma'am, if you wanted change back from your twenty, you should have mentioned that before giving it to me. It's too late now, I've pocketed it, but it's YOUR FAULT for handing it to me in the first place."

I don't particularly approve of clintiskeen's behavior (and if you ask me if I snickered at those macros I'll deny it! Nobody saw me! You can't prove a thing!), but wow, Ms. OP Model. Just wow. Something tells me if it had been some sort of flattering macro, she wouldn't have made a peep.

Isn't there also some part of copyright law that says something about how you can't claim infringement unless the infringer is actually making money off it? Or is that something else? I dunno, I just remember having an ex threaten to sue me because I had a copy of her "novel" (not even agented, let alone published) when we broke up. I lol'd.
