The last one!

You nailed it! @Hens and Roos !

But @Rammy, you said NO dresses!

 

[Rammy]

The basic idea of the shotgun wedding was what I liked. Definitely would dress in western wear for the ceremony. But since Joe said all Id be holding would be a shirt, I called off the wedding. Dont want to be a jilted bride.
Its his fault hes missing out on the wedding night and that neglige I got at Victorias Secret........

So will @Rammy & @Latestarter's wedding picture look like this?

Just an FYI, and I don't really care much one way or another, but........ You should be careful about posting any image with a watermark on it..Getty, Shutterstock, Masterfile, ALAMY etc. They own the rights to said images, and the image above is intended to be 'bought' from Masterfile. I do see their side of things...it's a business and they have an investment to protect.


Masterfile and other image libraries have in the past, initiated legal proceedings in even minor cases such as this.

From wiki:

Copyright Trolling Accusations[edit]
Much like Getty Images, Masterfile has come under fire in recent years for aggressively defending copyrighted images. Unlike Getty, Masterfile has been known to litigate for thousands of dollars in damages against corporations, individuals and small businesses who knowingly or unknowingly made use of Masterfile images without having obtained a license.

I don't particularly like it, and wished it was the way it was back before Google folded to Shutterstock's demands, and you could still just (probably not legally tho) grab a screenshot of any image found on a Google search but even so, Nifty has publicly posted regarding the rights of image or other copyrighted material, and I do agree with his position. We members, posting copyrighted material might also leave the owner of this board open to litigation.

Just to be clear (and to reiterate what we have in our Terms and Rules), "In general, you agree not to post any material that is illegal, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, harassing, threatening, invasive of another person's privacy, or a violation of copyright."

All images have some form of copyright, and it's up to the person posting the image to make sure they have valid rights to use the images they find online. There have been cases of copyright owners suing people that use their images without permission, so please be careful when using (copying, saving, posting, etc.) an image that isn't one you took yourself!

Oh right, didn't think of that.

@RollingAcres, I suspect you were not aware of the above information and you posted the photo all in fun. You did not get any financial gain, from posting it and had you been aware of the need to pay for it, you would have found a different “free” photo to get your point across. So, I’m sure you don’t have to worry about being sued. But, it’s something you might not want to do next time.

You did not get any financial gain, from posting it

I am quite sure she meant 'no harm' as well.
Unfortunately, those companies don't limit their control based just on whether or not, financial gain is made.


5.4. Unauthorized Use of Images. Unless you have received and paid for a License from Masterfile:

5.4.1. It is illegal to copy or use any portion of any Image whether (without limitation) by photographic means, scanning, digital copying, saving it to any computer, posting it to any Website, or as reference for another image.

5.6. Copyright infringement. Masterfile will be entitled to, and you will pay, a compensatory fee equal to the greater of U.S. $1,500 or 3 times the usual License Fee for each Unauthorized Use by you of any Image in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Masterfile under law (without you thereby acquiring any rights to the infringed Image).

5.5. Liability for Unauthorized Use of Images. Masterfile, its Agents (as defined in Section 11) and its contributing artists and licensors earn their living by licensing and controlling all rights to the Images. You agree that any Unauthorized Use of any Image by you is an infringement of copyright and that you will be responsible for any fees, damages and/or compensation arising from such unauthorized use.


9.12. (All) Additional Usage Restrictions. Without limiting Masterfile’s right to define the specific terms under which any Image may be used pursuant to a License, and unless such rights are specifically granted to you by Masterfile in a License, you may not:

9.12.1. post any Image on any electronic bulletin board, put it on-line in a downloadable or FTP format, or use it in a website at a resolution higher than 72 ppi;

They themselves don't look for violations.they have a 3rd party hired to use software to scan the internet for their images being used intentionally or otherwise. It's this 3rd party that probably makes it's $$ on a % basis that goes after the casual users and websites that openly allow it to happen.

The 3rd party in this case is an outfit named PicRights.
Folks can do their own research on them but they have a history of sending demand letter$.
Some good advice, which I need to try to remember to follow myself.

No worries, i already did earlier.

OK, so it was nice this morning and warm/dry when I finished morning animal chores so I started right in on the goat mansion. When I checked the weather the other day, it was supposed to start raining again on Sunday, so I wanted to get it done. Now they say poss showers Monday night, then just cloudy till Wed night when I should expect heavy rain and T-storms. Today was beautiful... 70+°, full sun, light breezes.

I now have all the exterior walls up and the roof completed. I took some pics but in the time it took to walk back up here, the camera battery died It's on the charger now so I'll post them later this evening. I'm tired, hungry, and a bit stiff/sore.
