Corbis, DMCA, And John Kerry Photos
Phronesis writes "Photo District News is running a story reporting that three historic photos of John Kerry from the early 1970s, including the one used for the Jane Fonda forgery, were pirated from Corbis. The photographers who own the copyright on the photos are asking Corbis to use its fancy watermarking technology to find the culprit. Corbis hopes either to track the responsible people down using watermarks, or to invoke DMCA if the watermarks were removed."
TotalFarker's give a collective "yeee..." and pull at their shirt collars.
"Pardon me. Would the person responsible for forging the photos, removing the watermarks from the source images, and distributing a libellous claim please come to the Principal's office? Thank you."
...infringers - don't they mean thieves? Oh wait, this isn't an RIAA related article.
/. please explain some of these difficult to understand terms: I mean I know what GIMP, DMCA, MP3, PARC, DSL, DRM, DVD and NSA mean, but who's this John Kerry and this Jane Fonda?
John.
it's not like it reads, "Thou shalt not do anything we don't like."
Are you sure about that? It's in the fine print. Really fine print, as it turns out -- it's in microtext in the dot over the second "i" in "millennium."
has declared that this investigation has been indefinitely been put on hold for reasons of national security. Furthermore, the original photographer has been relocated for his own protection to Guantanamo Bay, along with representatives of Corbis and anybody else who makes trouble, see!
put that in your pipe and choke on it.
Some day when you are a moderator, perhaps you can afford my services, as well.

I went to theonion.com to see if they were part of the spoof. Found nothing, but they have the funny headline:

We get no respect even when we are dead.
You DO know what the F. in John F. Kerry stands for, right?
Fred? Frank? Farfegnugen? Who cares?
And you DO know his wife's maiden name, right? A well known condiment.
Ketchup? Mustard? Relish? Again, who gives a rats ass?
Apparently the trail lead to the account of one Beorge Gush - investigations continue.
Where are those 3.6 million jobs bush was talkin' about a while ago?
No, no, no, you mis-understood.
He was talking about lost jobs.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that this article directly follows the one announcing Gimp 2.0?
Just wondering...

Well, at least she got closer to the VietCong than George Bush.
It's simple: I demand prosecution for torture.
Everybody already knows he protested the Vietnam war after he came home from it carrying a number of medals. It's not even remotely a secret. As far as I understand, he's still proud that he protested that unjust war.
Also, it's pretty funny that the Right Wing thinks trying to associate him with Jane Fonda will get anyone outraged besides the Right Wing itself, which already hates him anyway. Most Americans associate Jane Fonda far more with her exercise video. If they get outraged about anything, it'll be about her role in the fashion trend of wearing those silly belts along with the leotards.
Bush is too stupid to be Hitler or the devil.
And you DO know his wife's maiden name, right? A well known condiment.
What sort of condiment is Simoes-Ferreira?
condiment? That's not a condiment, it's a condiment maker. Everyone's picking on you, not for what you said, but how you said it. You DO understand why?
but what people dont know he is controlled by big ketchup and the tomato lobby

So people will be chanting "No blood for ketchup" (Or "No Ketchup for Blood" :) ) instead of "No Blood for Oil"?
so much for the 'rich republicans'
I was suprised when I saw these numbers too, but then I realized that most people probably don't put bribes on their tax return.
As Dr. Marcus Von Vickersburg from The International Institute for Photographic Analysis stated, "digital photographs cannot be faked"

The Uncoveror: It's the real news.
So...you're saying we should elect CowboyNeal?
I don't recall the argument being that Republicans were rich. It was that they are the tools of the rich...
So basically you're saying that Republicans are the tools of the Democrats?
Brain... hurting! Must... vote... Libertarian!!
