I'm not sure if this is the right place but it seems like it. I have a question about moderator policy over in the 4e forum. Specifically in the Daily Art Thread http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=223923. The policy is now that we can't embed pictures in the thread. I have not received a warning or anything but I am wondering what the reasoning for this is. Unlike the copying full text over from a story this does not seem to me to come close to violating copyright laws. First off the image is not in fact copied, the [*img*] tag does not copy the image it loads the image directly from the WotC site itself. The WotC site will register this as a hit in their web stats. If WotC does not want the image used this way it is up to them to place it in a password protected folder. Next This also seems like the definition of fair use commentary and criticism. The whole page is not being copied, just the part that is being discussed (and even then it is not being copied but just [*img*] referenced to).
