To all Have a Happy Holiday! Rebel just getting your goat. Mossy calm down. I have been on this site pretty much since it started, I had my house broken into and computer stolen and when I tired to get back on this site, it would not let me so I had to re-enlist. As for the retired, elderly and handicapped I mean no harm.
But, on a different note the copyright laws are a consern to me. What if some one took your hard work and used it with out consent or credit. Just because you can walk out of the store with something doesn't mean it's OK.

Just in case anyone wants some real facts about copyright law, here is the US Library of Congress site. You can find out what is factual about copyright, what rights it conveys, and what it does not do.
http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html
The second site deals with copyright law in the USA:
http://www.rbs2.com/copyr.htm#anchor111111
In short, a work is copyrighted if you say it is, but sometimes that isn't enough. Actually, if you create something and fix it into some tangible medium, it is copyrighted according to law. Basically, when I put a story or a photo into my computer's hard drive, it is copyrighted if it is my original work. If it is registered with the US Copyright Office, Library of Congress, and you say it is copyrighted, that is probably enough to win a court case. Just a statement such as, Copyright 2005, Raphael Kanoritz--------, is more than sufficient under the law, but sometimes it is hard to prove. This is why most of my work is registered as above.
So, not to stir the pot, RH, but you might be wrong in this one. I can tell you this much. If you copy one of my stories without permission, you will be in a heap of trouble. The law provides even that you might even have to pay my legal fees (a court may require the infringer to pay all of the attorney's fees of the author. 17USC§§412,505.).

patrky, there are pictures on the net that do not give you the option of cutting and pasting nor saving to your pictures, which I take as being protected.
There are companies who take some of these postsfrom us and list them on thier advertisement. It has happened to me many times. If someone does not want thier material copied, there is a way of doing that as I explained above. You guys are complaining about this, but there are many ,many on here that do it.

Just for what its worth...ALL photography is the property of the photographer...period. Everytime you see someone lift it, its still wrong to. The only exception is when the photographs are sold to or given permission to be filed to a site that allows it, I cant think of one right now. Orbis, maybe? Just because some dont have the block on them doesnt mean its ok. Lots of people do it unknowingly, but again, its still wrong. In fact, in many instances its illegal and can be pursued. Not starting trouble guys, just letting you know.

No "if" here -they exist-I dont mind them.
I mind much more the federaly protectedwelfare wolfs& influx of liberals.
But we have plenty of"them" to share- maybe you could to come get some- takethem home, make it like it was 300 yrs ago ?- take some grizzly bears & a few wolf packs with you when you go to. Take some people to- we maybe still the lowest populated state but its getting pretty crowded here.
We be northeast of kaliforniaca[&:]

RE: If Mtn. Lions did exist in your state... Would you want them?
it would be cool to have them but i would get a little nervous dressing my deer in the woods. i would feel a little edgy knowing there was a 100 lb cat in the area that had the ability to stalk and crush my esophagus with a single bite.
