Musing

With the latest interest in copyright that has been displayed I wonder if anyone has noticed the blatant contradictions and flouting that is actually going on un-noticed and even encouraged by rootschat.

Where, where? I hear you ask.
Over there on the left of your screen.

Forum users are encouraged to use a "coat of arms" or a photo. Many of these achievements are being used unlawfully and are in effect a breach of copyright.
Certain photos are also very possibly in breach of copyright.

If the copyright question is so great here why are such breaches tolerated? ;)
Cheers
