Well June 1st’s lolcat was one with a party hat and a funny caption.You know, SL9B.
The Artist - of international renown, we are sure - that took that eternal masterpiece of photographic art, then, felt we were infringing on her copyright.
Of a lolcat, yes indeed, you read correctly.
So Blogger passed on a warning (DMCA is "no prejudice" - if you act, there it ends) and a warning (put it up again and trouble begins).
So we won’t; but we’ll keep doing it, because I don’t think too many people actually think of their lolcats as defensible, copyrighted material.
So. We laugh rather than frown, and move on. Have a great weekend :)
best post a link back to where you found the image (to lolcatz most likely). That's all most people want, recognition and some traffic for themselves.
ReplyDeleteBy the time you get a DMCA request, it's too late to do that. But thanks for the good words!
