I'm quite aware of the concept of fair use. Why are you complaining about the image that you are directing people to? Your ignorance of the results of the code you place on your own website is none of my personal responsibility. If you choose to link to an image that will, with some consistency, claim that you are a thief, that is your own doing. Especially in light of the March 10, 2003 post on this site ( http://burrowowl.net/wordpress/200303/joy-of-images/ ) referencing the precise measures I was undertaking to prevent poor behavior such as yours, you had a more-than-reasonable opportunity to predict the consequences of your code and avoid embarrassing yourself as you apparently have. You had many options available to you, and you chose one that made you look like the irresponsible, thoughtless, direct-linking douche-nozzle that you are.

Hey jackass! Ever heard of FAIR USE? Stop using such potty mouthed language to attack those who directly upload your graphics within the protection of the Fair Use clause of copyright law! Just because someone directly uploads your graphics DOES NOT make them ANY kind of "thief" "bandwidth theft" DOES NOT EXIST! TWO SIMPLE WORDS QUASH YOUR LYING LIBERAL SAYSO ABOUT THAT: FAIR USE! Have a look at the following: http://www.fairuse.org http://fairuse.stanford.edu/ http://www.utsystem.edu/ogc/intellectualproperty/copypol2.htm http://www.utsystem.edu/ogc/intellectualproperty/ccmcguid.htm http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode17/usc_sec_17_00000107----000-.html http://www.umuc.edu/library/copy.html http://www.copyright.iupui.edu/checklist.htm http://www.cetus.org/fairindex.html AND BESIDES...did YOU know that those FALSE claims you keep making about others who directly upload your graphics are grounds for you facing CRIMINAL CHARGES for REAL harassment? Learn the truth at http://www.haltabuse.org/ , moron, and pull your head out of your ass. DIRECT UPLOADING IS NOT A CRIME, AND UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU DON'T HAVE A FUCKING CLUE. SO NO FUCKING SALE. SHELL OUT MORE MONEY AND GET AN UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH PACKAGE, YOU FUCKING MENTAL RETARD. YOU MAKE A PERSON WITH DOWN'S SYNDROME LOOK LIKE LEONARDO DAFUCKINGVINCI YOU FUCKING IGNORANT FREAK.

Hey, this has nothing whatsoever to do with this particular post, but I’ve been poking around here on and off for awhile and figured I should say hello.

I’m an amateur pen-and-paper game designer and semi-avid roleplayer. While I’m not a terribly big fan of D20, I love the Iron Kingdoms setting and have been quite impressed with all of the books and supplements put out for it thus far.

And I’ve enjoyed reading your takes on them thus far. So, that’s it. Just thought I’d stop being an anonymous lurker and start being a lurker who’d introduced himself.
