Using an unjust law to have something legal removed from a website (something
that had been up for months) is immoral. It may be legal but there are very few
people outside the legal departments of multinational entertainment companies or
the ruling parties in dictatorships that consider a law that holds someone
guilty until proven innocent to be moral.

So my moral ground is that you have recently, and maliciously, used immoral
means to attack me freedom of speech.

I couldn't give a rats ass about DMCA, 'fair usage', 'freedom of speech' or '1st
ammendment rights' or whatever people are going on about now--it's all
obfuscating the actual issue.

Here's the relevant text from the top of this thread--

Seems to be some link problems with the Sidebar here.  Do we need a
Co-Curator? ;-)

Have you tried contacting the curator of the group? (Assuming you're talking
about broken links?)

Otherwise, it would appear that the images for Eric Sophie's models (and ONLY
Eric Sophie's models) were explicitly set to be a "broken" image:

http://www.maj.com/gallery/Lazarus/misc/Macros/thumb/broken_again.png_thumb.jpg

I have set the images to show Eric's creations properly. However, I expect that
this was done intentionally with malice toward Eric, given his history, and I
will attempt to look at the server logs to find out when this happened and who
specifically set these incorrectly. If this was done intentionally it is NOT
suitable behavior.

Someone changed and 'mislinked' Erics creations in the sidebar of Technic to a
different pic that wasn't Erics.

It wasn't suitable behaviour, as DaveE stated.  This has nothing to do with
copyrights or 'free use' or Eric's response--the links in the sidebar that were
linking to Eric's creations--and only Eric's creations--were tampered with and
FOR THIS ALONE Eric deserves an apology (if it is shown that it was done
intentionally and maliciously, and right now, just by understanding 'the usual
suspects' and the history of some LUGNETters regarding Eric, I  really can't
believe that it wasn't malicious in intent and execution).

All other yippage by all parties (including me, so it seems) is specifically
irrelevant to this point.
