Fair Use and Fair Dealing
Are you exempt from obtaining permission or license?
When it is impracticable to obtain permission, use of copyrighted material should be avoided unless the doctrine of ?fair use? would clearly apply to the situation.

If it's there to be copied and used then copy and use it. Any problems with that then don't post stuff you don't want copying.
If it is there to be used then use it I say.
I am all for protection of the "artists" work and do believe that there should be laws for infringement of copyright especially when it comes to Visual and audio entertainment. But I gotta say........
(put my fast running shoes on here).............
People who take pics or post pics on forums etc and include a copyright logo are either wanting to show their pics off and feel that they are themselves important to society. Or they just want to feel important and so proffessional.
Sad thing is the logos are easy to remove no matter what and if you're good in photoshop you could even change the pic and make it your own.
Copyright is important in some respects but to us "ordinary folk" it means sod all.
