SPEED
>Thermite burns super hot and fast.
Depends on what you compare it to. Hydrogen, for example.
Removing a photographer's name from an obviouly copyrighted work is very uncool.
I think lots of things burn faster than thermite.
>Now the meme is ours.
Copyright law disagrees with you, but I said what I'm going to say about it.
>Cutting steel bridge supports, destroying enemy vehicles and equipment etc.
Agree. Shit gets pretty hot.
>Copyright law is fake and gay. It's designed by DS.
In some ways I agree and in others I do not. Intellectual property is a complicated subject because humans didn't evolve in an environment where massive amounts of work could be represented by something copyable with almost no effort. But I digress.
>Stop being a bitch, you sound like a libtard
You sound like that guy who is about to accidentally blow your hand off with an M-80. I'll just step over here…
>i think this only applies if someone is making money off the copyright
>no?
No, it does not. Copyright and trademark law can be intricate, but under the current laws, the moment you create something, it is copyrighted even if you never sell it. If you don't actively defend your copyright for each instance that you become aware of an infringement, you can lose that copyright through a challenge in court. But be aware, photographers have 100 years of case law precident on their side. If your identity gets out and the photographer is dickish about it, they can ruin your day. (Not saying they will, just putting truth out there.)
>Creative embellishment.
The legal test is whether or not a significant portion of the value of the image is in the source work. In this case, you could argue that there is virtually no value. However, the photographer could argue that you've hurt his reputation.
I'm not going to push it. I said what I wanted to say. You do whatever you decide to do.
>One could argue you're a total fag
Many could argue that. It would not make them correct. Faggot.
>If you need copyright to survive, you're not doing enough in your life.
This is a valid way to look at it. I solved this problem using hardware to make software virtually impossible to copy. However, intellectual property (of very sophisticated things) is a very real problem whose value we shouldn't underestimate.
It gets much worse with software. MUCH worse. But this isn't the venue to debate it.
