| i don't have time to read this whole thread at the moment, but its a very interesting read so far.
To make the issue of digital ownership more fuzzy, how many of you here that venomously against piracy have ever used an avatar that you did not create (cropping the image or addeding text does not count)
Just to pick on someone i know heavily against piracy, JohnSnow, did you ask newline cinema or Viggo Mortensen for use of that image? do you think that you should pay a fine and are you comfortable in doing so?
My avatar, I made from scratch. I did not steal anyone else's intellectual property to give myself an online identity.
Hopefully you understand my point John. Also apologies if I upset you by using you as an example.
I'm just trying to show the issue is not black and white, or at least i don't see it that way. I don't know where i stand on the issue. Both sides have very good and relevant points.
