Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :

Some time ago, while I was going through the archives, I stumbled upon a post which contained a picture of our beautiful planet, taken at night (with city-lights digitally added). Unfortunately, that part of the archive is no longer accessible... too many new pages have been added since.

If anyone could dig this on up from the bowels of the past (so to speak), I'd be most grateful

*bang-bang-bang* Excuse me Mr. Infinity! You are (depending on what country you live in, I think) out of order! Please be seated until the prosecution makes their opening statements! Mr. Evil Lord, I assume you have an attorney present? :-)

Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :

I will represent Mr. Evil Lord.

My client wishes only to bask in the glory that is the Image. As an Image, it has a sacred duty to inspire our youth to seek out their destiny. By not appearing to allow itself to be idolized, it is forsaking it's duty!

Mr. Evil Lord's case is one that Flare Sci-Fi Forum will gladly prosecute. The Image must appear -- once uploaded to Flare, it becomes the property of Flare. It has no choice but to appear. If it doesn't like this situation, I'm sure we can all sympathize -- but perhaps it should have read the membership agreement a tad closer?

The Image MUST step forward to be posted!

Thank you JeffK. Your opinions are duly noted. Now, unless the defense has any further comments, the prosecution may call their first witness. Bailiff!

(Hee hee, this is funny. [If you haven't guessed, I've been the presiding justice in several court re-enactments.])

Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :

I call Charles Capps, admin and owner of Flare to the stand.

Mr. Capps. All files uploaded to Flare are stored on a server paid for by you, correct?

When a file is uploaded to Flare, you must pay the hard cash, the dollars, the money, the moola, to make sure that server space is open for said file to remain on Flare, correct?

Mr. Capps, does this not give you the right to post whatever non-objectional or copyrighted material you so desire?

Doesn't this also mean that any member of the Flare Community may upload files or images that are neither objectional nor copyrighted?

If someone else uploads any non-objectional or copyrighted material to Flare, do you not have the right to then keep that file for use that you deem appropriate?

Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :

Your Honor, Mr. Anomaly is being disruptive. Please have him placed in a straitjacket and forced to listen to Omega for forty-eight hours without sleep.

Mr. Anomaly, you're interupting a court of Flare! Be quiet, man, quiet!

Posted by Daniel (Member # 453) on :

*bang-bang* Mr. Anomaly, due to the appearance of multiple personality disorder, I'm holding you in contempt of court. Justice WILL be served here!

Mr. TSN, you do not qualify as ANY sort of witness until such time as you are called to the stand. And anyone that begins their testimony with "Erm ..." is definitely not an "expert" witness. Please speak with the appropriate attorney and hand in your sworn deposition twenty-four hours before you are called forth.

Mr. Capps, if you do not respond, we will be forced to move on to the next witness, or have another expert witness take your place.

JeffK, since TSN is not yet a witness at this time, he cannot be considered hostile.

Back to the matter at hand, are you saying that this picture, this "entity" for lack of a better word, is the PROPERTY of Flare? If so, did this picture willingly consign itself to such a fate or was it a forced agreement? Is this binding under contract or perhaps another, more "ambiguous" document?

This is a very serious matter, gentlemen. We may have to release this picture on the grounds of coercion on the part of Flare if you cannot bring forth compelling evidence to the contrary.

However, I do not see Mr. Evil Lord's request completely unreasonable. He merely wishes to view the picture and "bask in its glory," so to speak. Mr. Evil Lord does not seem to be a hostile or mentally unbalanced person, regardless of what his name may indicate.

Please proceed.

Posted by MC Infinity (Member # 531) on :

I object your honour, the prosecution is denying the image's basic rights that have been guaranteed by the constitution, and as such cannot be taken away. In my oppinion there is nothing more to discuss, to deny the image it's privacy is to make an immense violation on the rights of images everywhere.

Posted by Daniel (Member # 453) on :

I step outside the court for a few minutes, and already I have an impersonator! Mr. Evil Lord, would you please step away from the bench before I hold you in contempt of court? Ahem, thank you.

Mr. Infinity, I must say that I agree wholeheartedly with you, but if the image in question willingly sold itself into ownership of Flare, it may have no constitutional rights to speak of. This is why bringing forth information regarding the agreement binding the image to Flare as property is so important.

In any matter this entire case may be thrown out, regardless of willing vs. not willing, because slavery and/or ownership of any entity that can actually represent itself in court, (especially the honorable court of Flare), is obviously against current anti-slavery laws. If this is so proven, the image is to be released immediately from its bondage and Mr. Evil Lord will have to seek out worship elsewhere.

Does either side have any further information to present to the jury?

Well we have to find the picture in question first, o impatient one.

I found some tellus-piccies from some university and some .gov-site, but they weren't very nice. Those idiots always post pictures that look great in a thumbnail, only to be discovered that they are 400x300 pixels big.
Can't those idiots think about what quality they would like to find pictures in, when searching???

I say at least 800x600, and that's small nowadays. I found a twinkie-picture of the C-5 Galaxy freighter plane, I had to shrink it down to 1600x1050. Now that's a picture!
