Stolen? Hmmm.... Where they copy righted? Where they lived someplace where there was a disclaimer, etc? Once in public, they are public. <shrug> It would have to be proved that the picture was taken from a copyrighted place BEFORE it was copyrighted. That in it's self would be a mess. I don't see a lawyer even wanting to try to take that case. WHO would pay for it? IT's going to really cost just to gather the evidence. It would cost tons of money and how much money would be gotten if they won?
I am not stating they would win. I am saying that she certainly can cause some stress to the owner and mods of this site. She can file and any attorney would take the case. Everyone wants a piece of the cake (case).
While PB disclaims you are putting your privacy at risk, it also states that if you are found using pictures that do not belong to yourself, your account will be closed, etc.,.
I, myself, am uncomfortable with the idea that CA has inadvertedly threatened Tricia and WS. You never know what CA exactly means. There have been threats made by the A's in which they never follow through on. It could all be "talk" within the moment.
Tricia has made a good strong effort to get posters to follow TOS and act like adults. There are people who continue to do as they please and continue to gossip and name call -which is not helping find Caylee or even sleuthing. Taking pictures of the people involved with this case and editing them to insult said persons is also illegal. And it is far from sleuthing or supportive of finding Caylee. We are not a fashion or political forum. So all of which is said about KC's clothing, sexual orientation and other ridiculous gossip is not within the "fair use" act.
And I agree, if the family were to do that -it would show the family is not doing more important things. we know what that is; FIND CAYLEE.
I have read Tricia's concern about net trolls who come on here just to start trouble with the site. I see that happening even in this one thread. People who never posted here until this very thread. (I am not referring to you.)
There are people who are making things harder for the moderators... as well as giving the A's something to distract themselves with at night.
My post was not to put down WS, it's owner, and mods. I am recapping on what Tricia has already warned us about -in regards to our behaviour. Once again, a mod is going to have to sift through this thread for the name-callers and immature responses. What I refer to as the Caylee forum becoming quiet - I mean less gossip and more clues/tips. But, it is seemingly obvious we are not finding many clues these days... like Tricia said in her message about this forum-some of us are getting bored and going off about any and everything.
So, what now? How do we find more clues as to what happened in this case? How do we use this forum for which it is intended? Where do we sleuth?
