Another thing I just was told by a nightowl attourney...he could overturn this in a court of law in a hertbeat because the site TOS here relates to the sites "controlled usage" of the artists materials which does not apply to placing a code on the image allowing anybody to have free usage of the images.He said that is the key legal argument here because their site TOS relates to their usage and does not extend to providing the artists materials to third parties or free usage to everybody. I also mentioned how people right click and copy.He stated that such is beyond the sites control as they could argue anything from software designed to capture screense to even a camera being used to steal images from a screen.But...if the site itself knowingly and with intent encourages such usage or provides the means by which the third party aquires the image...then that site is in violation of the law because their actions not only violate the law,they extend beyond the contractual agreement stated in their own TOS which may not be extended to third partys. Catch 22 and don't ya just love lawyers this early in the morning lol.
