does anyone think the original author of this photo is likely to come forward and claim copyright ownership of this image?

please add comments to the wiki page...

its an interesting topic, and one which raises many interesting questions about the nature of copyright, public domain, implied consent, cheese scones, and things. But ultimately, I think the whole subject can be summed up simply, like this:

and stop vandalizing wikipedia!

well the image is quite appropriate to this page:

oh and, sorry for the off-topic post.

who cares

i can't understand illegal copies. get a job and you can afford games and software you'll need.

i got a job, and i cant afford a photoshop cs2 edition for exemple. we aint all living at dad's and mum's home annie. no offense in that sentence, but really... please..

ikstar: no need to buy Photoshop CS2. Just get good old Photoshop 5, it will suit all your needs and it's probably very affordable nowadays ;)

or photoshop elements... it's quite good and doesn't cost much.

gimp!1

but gimp would probably turn you into a COMMUNIST

gimp is what makes open source look bad.

anyway, aren't the cracktro people better off with deluxe paint? for the oldskoolery and so forth?

you better convert to BASSONISM

Irokos, how the hell did you find out that I am still living at my parents home? I give you the Sherlock Holmes award.

the picture sucks anyway

Anniee, it was not meant to be told to you only, it was just a sentence that would have fit without your nick :) it's rather told for every person who still live at their parents home, in a general way, and who can afford a lot of things that other working ppl cant because of the bills and all those shits ;)

For the tUM wiki I can say that we just don't care about copyrights since it's a private wiki and its intention is to help to organize the party. Evoke wiki is private as well.

ikstar, you once again managed to look like the biggest idiot ever. summary:

<decent coder with job, appartment and funky hairdo> get a job and pay for your software
<ikstar> move away from your parents first, loser!

also, dila, what part of "exactly, that doesn't mean there is no copyright, it means permission to redistribute is unattainable by Wikipedia." didn't you get?

newsflash: wikipedia isn't a brand new world where everything is allowed. it's a web site, run by people. these people cannot be responsible for distributing media they've not been granted permission to distribute. like a beautiful photograph by an anonymous photographer. with, say, a castle. or a winxp cdrom.

ahha, skrebbel, i havent told anything related to being a loser if you still are at parent's home you fruitcake :) i've just told that for me, it's impossible by living in a not so little flat, with all the bills to pay, even by having a job, to afford a so high price, i havent told much more. No need to come to insults when you dont understand skrebbel ;)

Madenmann, thanks. that was truely needed here.

@@@ copyright infringement is illefal @@@

illegal too

..and madenmann pulls out a harsh but disturbingly effective zinger.

i myself solved the question by not playing games anymore - it works.
