Can I ask why you care so much that they used your photo of Sheth? I would be pretty happy if someone used my photo, maybe if they gave some credit at least though.

I actually don't think Yahoo Mail sent off my DMCA notice, might have hit discard instead of send. At any rate, the infringing content has been taken down. And yes, I was serious.

Long and short is that they failed to give me credit or ask for permission. All is well now though.

Yeah it seems like the people who like to play lawyers got more worked up about their opinions of this than tank or mlg did.

It's honestly shameful that people would attempt to paint tank as some sort of hypocrite for asserting his well-deserved rights. Glad the two parties were able to get it sorted amicably. I'm also really glad that last thread was closed because some of those replies were just downright infuriating.

What exactly do you have to do to copyright a photo? I'd like to know the process for future reference in case I want to copyright a photo some day.
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

Good on you for making this thread. With most public accusation threads, the issue is usually resolved through email and PM but the public never sees it so the withhunts linger. A recap like this prevents unnecessary future drama.

Your photo is copyrighted the instant you press the shutter button. It remains your copyright until you sign off your rights to the work or place it in the public domain. There are other licensing options available to you as a content creator, such Creative Commons, that are fashionably termed as 'copyleft,' but they are copyrights still.

Glad to hear it was all resolved. The talk in the thread showed a lot of people don't really understand the pain of people using work without permission, whether deliberately or not it's not 'just a photo', it's a potential income source or way to spread your name. With regard to 'it was their event, they have the rights to all photos'; if official places want photos they either have to pay to have a photographer there or make a deal with someone who was. Also, putting photos online is always a gamble, as image search isn't good enough to even let you know that people are using your stuff.

It's something I've seen handled badly in other places, glad MLG handled it when it was pointed out, good to see!

Hopefully it doesn't come to that. No one should be making the same mistakes. EVER.

To some people including myself, that this whole issue appears to be a new frontier in MLG pitchforking.

Except this is way removed from bitching about casters or complaining about downtime between streams. Image copyright is a serious legal thing in the real world. Just because it is ESPORTS doesn't mean companies working within that space can afford to be lax in their practices.

You quote NonY in your sig, most likely in response to people not liking MLG's pay-per-view move: "Guess what....shit costs money." -Liquid'Nony

Well guess what, using copyrighted images in your for-profit broadcast requires one to gain at least permission and attribution; sometimes it will cost money.

It's all settled now though.
