I'm missing something here. Retailer catalogs are one thing. They're
pretty clearly not for general consumption. But why exactly are the
images in question trade secrets? They are posted on a public server by
TLG with no protection whatever.
Read my post about IP law:
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/general/?n=3467
If it's on a server on the internet, and it's not protected in any way,
it's fair game. I think we're getting spun up unnecessarily at this
point.
Using this line of logic, you could say that posting how to defeat the
cookie that makes you log in every time you go to the webclub:
http://www.lugnet.com/general/?n=11020
is wrong. After all, TLG *intends* you to have to log in each time, no?
C'mon people, let's not go off the deep end paranoia wise. Yank Remy's
posting privileges? Please, way overreacting...
Is there anyone here who doubts my extremely strong pro property rights
stance in general?
