Copyright court case in Australia.
« on: January 15, 2013, 09:05:40 PM »
Hi guy,

Just want to educate some of your customers if they think it is O.K to print stolen goods.

Lowes is a large clothing chain in Australia. They are getting sued because someone along the production line just took a photo off flickr.com without the owner's permission.

Thanks

Are you implying that the folks who read this message board would be that stupid?

Well, even though a relative few post, there are a lot of members and lurkers. They need to know; the honest ones will care, the poopheads will steal anyway.

As Anthony,  the OP said, this can be an educational example for our customers!
Who hasn't been asked to print something that crossed the line?

Lowes is a major hardware chain in the US.


These folks are stepping on all kinds of toes!

And they didn't even give it the horizontal flip!
