Stop posting articles for other GN'R fans to enjoy, it's stealing! (was Brain in Modern Drummer)

So is it the watermarks? or the posting of copyrighted material?

[BlowUpYourVideo]

^I think people were concerned more about the watermarks. I don't know exactly what watermarks legally mean, plus I never saw the original scans so I won't comment further.

I personally think it was anything just to start a fight but that's just my opinion...

[TAP]

It's the double standard around here that I find most funny....

That is funny, especially reading everyone's own personal definition of copyright. The second funniest thing is the secret hideouts.

[D]

Cause every GNR site on the net has the article up......


Maybe watermarks could be altered to say "Posted by such and such'

that way the first person to take the time to do it gets the credit and it takes away the argument.


Its like the huge write up the guys at gnrevolution did

if other forums are using that and not giving them credit, that is bullshit

If you look up, you'll see the point going over your head.

Also, I don't really see the double standard issue and someone explain it to me if I am wrong

The GNR song stuff is the only thing I can recall Jarmo ever regulating but everything else has always been fair game.

I can understand not wanting unreleased stuff from the band we are here to support being shared as it hurts the band. I never took Jarmo as being anti sharing though.

Live boots have always been shared, we've looked at magazine stuff for years............shared songs from other bands...........

[Bandita]

I'm confused, you want us to give credit to the thief?

For me personally it's the watermarking.  Anything else I stated is to back up retarded arguments that people are putting forward about what is OK illegal behavior.

so the point u have is, it is ok for every gnr site to do it but not jarmo cause he doesn't let unreleased GNR stuff get posted?

when the point is as ridiculous as yours, I am happy for it to go over my head cause it makes no sense.

I have to agree. Gypsy Soul's original post was condescending, mocking, and clearly designed to elicit a response.

Thank you!

How is it being a thief? I don't quite get that.

If I spend 30 bucks and 2 hours of my time doing something cool for the GNR community, I don't want 10 other sites ripping it and passing it off like they did all the work. I'd damn sure want the credit for finding it, buying it and taking the time to scan it etc.



I am not defending Gyspsy either as we have never gotten a long and all that, but here, I don't understand exactly what the issue is and why only Gypsy is being insulted when every forum has the exact same article up.

so aren't you technically calling yourself thieves if your site also has the article up?

Anyone who scans/transcribes it and posts it is breaching copyright - if you add a watermark to it or do anything that suggests you own it, then it's a worse breach of copyright. Which gnr site posted it first or anything like that is irrelevant.

You clearly don't understand what I was talking about then. The bullshit was started by the usual bunch of suspects, not Gypsy.

So you totally missed her/his/it's initial post then.

Please clarify for me "usual suspects."

As usual, the brown lipstick parade is always around to do their kissing.

Smoochie, smoochie.

[D]

I just find it laughable Tap

Does the site u guys post on have this article up? yes or no?

So why are u guys giving Jarmo shit if u also have it up?


I have no comment on Gyspsy, as I said, we don't like each other and I am not gonna start defending her now


but I don't get the piling on of Jarmo when probably every site on the net has the same thing scanned and plastered up.

If u are this huge crusader of copyright infringements, then lets just take down every picture on every forum and even the name Guns N Roses, GNR or what have you cause it is all technically copyright infringment


If u have a PIC of Axl on your forum, that is copyright infringement.

You can spend $1m and a year copying something, but it doesn't make it yours.

Nobody was "upset" in regards to copyright, just as nobody believed they were claiming it was their work. It's all strawman horseshit. They also claim I'm only upset because I want the goods for myself without giving them credit, which is another immature lie ( I mean these have really been juvenile responses.) Every frivolous claim they have made has been addressed logically and honestly by all of those accused, yet they continue lying and arguing about tripe they dreamed up. (Really, they should all consider a job at Fox News.)

My comment, which I stand by, is that watermarking is lame. Gypsy started off the thread with an inflammatory remark towards those who disagree with this practice. She just had to say something to kick it off. When an objection came her way, they decided to lie, use strawman tactics, call names, and make wild accusations about the group who disagreed with them. Not surprisingly, and surely no coincidence, I'd also file that under "lame."

By the end of the thread we're left with Jarmo arguing against a bunch of fabrications he dreamed up. I'm not sure if it's more pathetic that he may actually believe his own bullshit, or that he expects others to accept it as truth. Although I will say, I?d have to give Jarmo runner up for the hypocrite category, after D?s all too predictable brown nose session as the thread winds down (Really, what?s more pathetic than somebody kissing the ass of a liar and hypocrite on a public forum? D may take the whole enchilada after all.)
