Hey mods please close this thread...just read for once and understand the level of derp in this thread. Why is it that when there is a drama thread every 10 year old shows up crying because mommy didn't buy them the pass or something stupid.

LOL at anyone supporting the OP.

First of all, he can sue all he wants, he will get nothing. No court or jury will reward him anything because its not like music or video cases, its a damn picture.

In fact, the courts will reward MLG money for legal fees and the OP will be forced to pay MLG.

You can say "legally its the same as downloading and broadcasting music" all you want, the truth is courts do not operate on 100% absolute legal grounds anymore. Its all based on emotions, which is how humans operate. And humans look at videos and music and can easily see ok this dude knew this was clearly a song or a video he didnt own without paying for.

But pictures? Dude any jury will think "umm MLG just found some picture on the internet and used it."

With music and video its easy to assume the downloaded KNEW he was downloading questionable content.

But a picture, who cares. no way to know who took the picture. And if you are downloading something off the internet you dont KNOW is questionable, then any jury will say you are not guilty because theres no way for you to know you were doing anything wrong.

What makes music and movie cases to easy is the fact that most juries will say because its music its easy to assume beyond a reasonable doubt the user knew he was committing a crime as he was doing it so it makes it easier to claim him as guilty. But with internet copyright its hard to claim someone is guilty when he just downloaded something, essentially replicated it, and the jury cannot be sure he even knew it was wrong which means there could be thousands of people committing the same crime unknowingly which means it is really a sort of entrapment, and in reality the jury would decide the true victim is MLG for being a victim of unknowing entrapment.

Instead, blame will be put on the owner of the picture. If you "own" that picture you shouldnt allow it to be "posted" on the internet by anyone without a clear clause stating the picture is owned and not available for unintended use wherever the picture is "posted"

So yes, this thread is pointless. Im sure someone will respond to me saying i dont know jack legally, but the fact is, the moment the OP gets one penny in compensation, is the only moment I will start to care about this crap.

At first I thought, "well, MLG actually went to the trouble to mirror the photo, that shows that they knew they were doing something wrong, or at least suspicious."



However, after I looked at the picture of Sheth and Naniwa again, I don't think that's the case. I bet that rather than trying to evade copyright, someone at MLG saw the picture of Naniwa frowning and Sheth doing a happy smile, and decided that they could make a neat "ragetoss vs mannerzerg" storyline-promoting picture by having a frowning Naniwa glowering at a smiling friendly Sheth. Probably not suspicious after all.

Yeah....I love how MLG allows morons like this to take pictures and they use one so the OP shits his pants because he's 12 years old. Grow up kids, and maybe I won't hate these forums as much.
