Hmm. Fair use?[edit]

Do you seriously think that there is the slightest chance of the copyright holder making an issue over this? This image is so ancient in Internet time that I'm not sure anyone knows who the creator is. --Ymir (talk) 01:18, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
The "they wouldn't bother" argument is irrelevant to whether something is illegal for us to do, the cops won't bother stopping me 99% of the time if i'm going 48 on a 45 road, but i still -shouldn't- and they can stop me if they felt like it. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 01:49, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
As a side note, MPs do not play by that rule. WalkerWalkerWalker 01:51, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
as for actual sourcing on this, this is the earliest example of it that I can find, with the user claiming they own it. According to this atleast, all we have to do is attribute it and we aren't stealing--"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 01:53, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Well there we go! WalkerWalkerWalker 01:57, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Copyright is in most cases a civil matter. Only the copyright holder can bring suit for infringement. "They wouldn't bother" is a relevant factor. (Really it is for criminal law too; there are plenty of laws on the books that aren't enforced. You seem to be alluding to a moral argument, which is something different.) --Ymir (talk) 03:51, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
As the board has said more than once, if you would like to be liable for the court costs if we do get sued, please, stand up and offer them, otherwise no, "they wouldn't waste their time!" isn't a defensible position to argue copyright violation on. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 04:06, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Now moot. Goat. Pet it. WalkerWalkerWalker 04:08, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
