I think Jim had a good time, hopefully he returns for more discussion. His ever varying animated scroll now includes several Ha Ha Ha!s after mention of our city. I'm thinking this is a good sign.

Submitted by emmettoconnell on Tue, 02/21/2006 - 8:52pm.He may like us, but I think he's technically wrong about the image he ticked about you using being copyrighted. There is a reference to "some images copyrighted" on the front page, but neither the linking page nor the actual image reference any copyright.

Submitted by emmettoconnell on Wed, 02/22/2006 - 7:08am."The image has the copyright embedded in the photoshop file information" doesn't make any sense to me .

Submitted by emmettoconnell on Wed, 02/22/2006 - 8:48am.I wouldn't say f-off, but please, say something that actually refutes a point, rather than resorting to a logical fallacy. In this case I think its ad hominem.
(Rick, is there any way to edit meeples comment to remove the f-bomb? No offense, meeples, but I would like olyblog to remain somewhat child safe).

There's actually more to the story. Google makes money from their service, thus limiting their ability to display copyrighted material. OlyBlog isn't making a profit and, in a court, would probably be found to be within "fair use."
