Time Denies Issuing DMCA Over Obama Joker Image
An anonymous reader writes "Last week Slashdot posted on the Flickr censorship case where Flickr removed the controversial Obama/Joker image from their site. A representative from Flickr claimed that they only removed the image because they received a DMCA takedown notice over the image and then accused the press and blogosphere of being 'makey uppey,' subsequently locking the thread where Flickr users were complaining about the takedown. But now it appears that Time, DC Comics, and the photographer of the original photograph used to make the parody image are all denying having issued Flickr a takedown notice. Flickr was asked who issued the notice by the Los Angeles Times and told the Times that they were not able to provide that information. The original artist says Flickr has not told him who filed it either, despite the fact that Yahoo has in the past provided the information to people when DMCA takedown requests are issued. So if Time didn't file the DMCA notice, and DC Comics didn't file the DMCA notice, and the original photographer did not file the DMCA notice, then who exactly did?"
Way to prove my point, whoever modded me and the parent troll. Mind pointing out exactly what in the GP's post constituted trolling?
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
media is not left leaning. stop spouting that nonsense.
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
In the usa, any paper that does not decry homosexuality at every turn and dares to even have a humanity piece that is not glowingly right is an EXTREME LEFT paper.
All major News organizations here are extreme right. The only ones that are left in any way are pretty much underground because their readership is so low.
We do have a radio show that is not Full tilt right. "Democracy Now" is actually a real left leaning radio show as well as "Free Talk Live", they claim to be Libertarian but they lean really left compared to all the other radio shows out there.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
