THE POTHMAN CHALLENGE, BRITS v 21 Pz

[McIvan]

Alright Mac, you're a trained lawyer, so tell us what the internet copyright laws are so we'll know where we stand, okay?
In fact I've already begun posting the following question in various military/ world affairs forums to try to find out myself. -

Strictly speaking Mick it's all breach of copyright unless items are in the public domain or the limited exception of fair use, but the distinctions between the three would take much longer to explain than it is worth.

Realistically, no one expects trouble to come of image links in non-commercial forum posts. If a complaint was drawn to our attention, however, the link to the image would be removed as it is simply not worth the trouble.

I regret posting now about this storm in a teacup, but was considerably irritated with the "blame the mod" approach.

Let's get back to the subject of the thread, and best wishes to the challengers.
