As some of you may have found out (the hard way), 'osity has become very concerned lately about the legal obligations of the Members and the site. Copyright and Trademark are only part of the iceberg. Privacy, child pornography, homeland security, and other issues are lurking. Problem is, these are very legally complicated issues, particularly those involving the liability of the hosting web site. And, folks who are not trained in law, or licensed to practice law, are making decisions which are, frankly, quite silly. The real answer is that Bondware must retain an attorney expert in these matters. Develope an enforcable policy. And publish this policy to all the Members. The extent the Mods and Coords have to become "copyright police" and actively search out possible infringement is (to me anyway) a questionable practice. The ad hoc policies and interpretation of the TOS, which seem to change daily), are really hurting the Membership, and are really not protecting 'osity as intended. In the meantime, many silly things are happening. The Photography Gallery is in many ways being hit the hardest because we deal with "reality", as opposed to whatever the Posers deal with. So, first of all, I'd ask that our Members here just grit your teeth and survive. Maybe the silliness will go away. Second, I was going to ask if we have anyone knowledgable out there who could lead the discussion and help draft a sensible policy. BUT, I'VE CHANGED MY MIND! I've answered my own question. WE ALREADY HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF UNQUALIFIED OPINIONS. Just grit your teeth and survive.
