Nick Cave!

AIIIIIIIIE! TOM WAITS AND NICK CAVE! TOO MUCH! *dead*

YES. Bloody brilliant; I can't wait!

Thanks! this made me VERY happy....
the combination is priceless :)

So you own the copyright on all these images then? Took the photos yeah? Is that why we can't alter them?

I don't want my name on ugly amateur edits I had no part in.

The copyright owners might feel the same way!

Seriously though - if someone does alter them, what exactly are you going to do about it?

Good comeback! Still wondering what horrific punishment I might expect if I dare alter these amazing icons.

Yeah, I don't care about any of that. Just wondering how you were going to enforce your "rules".

From what I picked up while skimming over that rant though:


4. Finally, I'm not going to enforce any "rules" because I don't care.

So... if you don't care, why are the rules there in the first place? I'm sure you'll have some smartarse comeback, but that's what it comes down to - you state rules that you are going to in no way attempt to enforce, and by your own admission, don't even care about. Why bother?

By the way: read my profile where I actually say so in really big letters!).

I haven't seen your profile - I came here through a cut on a community - in my first comment I thought I was commenting on the community. I don't care about you, I've just always found this "Wahhhh don't change my icons" thing odd. And amusing.

Thanks for inspiring me to join Livejournal!

I guess this has come to an end, but I've had fun. I hope we can be friends forever. ♥ ♥ ♥

I. "The copyright owners might feel the same way!" It is a fundamentally different situation, my pet. The photographers are not being credited with any of the edits I've made here, so they are not being pegged with "ugly amateur edits". This is merely free press for them, if anything.

i have recent experience in this and in my case i will tell you the photographer reacted very badly when the photos were changed without permission. i saw the persons photos in a big newspaper and emediatley i knew this wasn't the photgraphers photoshop edits. but all the other wiewers didn't know, and they might believe it was the photographers choice to make obvious and stupid photoshop edits.

i'm just saying: not all people veiw it as free press, some people don't like it.

3. This is not a violation of copyright.
"

i always thought it was a violation... but that may just be the fact that different countries has different rules..

i accept your rules but i don't like them. thats why i never use other peoples pictures in my icons.

anyway. i really like 6 and 21
and i don't mean to offend you in any way. i edited cause of too many spelling errors.

i understand your position also. i am glad that you respect the photgrapher.

it is a difficult question..
where do you draw the line? in some ways, som spaces on the internet are just like the papers, but some places are free and made by ordinary people..
when is it free to post a picture and when is it not? i cannot answer thsi question so my personal rule is to never make pictures of someone elses photos. just like i donn't lie to take credit if someone helps me with a cardgame or a crossword puzzle... i guess it's more of a "this is just my own thing"- pride kind of situatipn sometime... and that's weird in it's own way....

Ah, delicious. Stole #16 with credit. Thank you kindly.
