    I find it counterproductive that some members here seem to participate
    in
    the very "attitude poisoning" you're talking about in regards to the
    hikers
    and wilderness preservationists. To me, spewing such nastiness makes
    me
    leery of joining any advocacy efforts if those are the attitudes of
    the primary representatives.

    Yes, Harvey accomplished a lot in regards to preservation and trails
    and I'll give him some credit for that. But, think how much more he
    could have accomplished if instead of alienating other user groups
    with his selfish and hateful agenda he had sought to work together.

    We (BBTC) spent the 80's trying to stem the loss of trail access; we
    spent the 90's trying to stay even and rebuild our image; we've spent
    most of this decade struggling to build new trail.

    What if Harvey had acknowledged that this new user group was just as
    passionate as he to preserve nature and given us a hand up rather than
    demonizing us with his endless vitriolic diatribes?

    How much more could user groups have worked together without his
    attitude poisoning the spirit of cooperation? How many more encounters
    on the trails would have been pleasant interactions instead of a
    scowl? And how many more trails would be enabling the next generation
    of mountain bikers to develop a love for our mountains and trees and a
    passion to preserve that experience.

    Yes Harvey accomplished a lot, but when a full accounting is made he
    comes up way short.

    "attitude poisoning" - Check
    "spewing nastiness" - Check

    IT IS you she's talking about. Foot, shot I think.

  5. I've already proven you to be a LIAR, which means that your statement below
    is a LIE.

    I see you also publish photographs illegally, like those watermarked ones on
    your website. Not only do you spread lies and totally inaccurate
    information, you break the law in order to do so.

    You're a legend in your own mind.

    Anger is the only appropriate response to the destruction of the
    environment.

  8. "The distinction between "fair use" and infringement may be unclear and not

    may safely be taken without permission.
    Acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for
    obtaining permission.
    Copyright protects the particular way an author has expressed himself; it
    does not extend to any ideas, systems, or factual information conveyed in
    the work.
    The safest course is always to get permission from the copyright owner
    before using copyrighted material."

    Don't skirt these questions:
    - did you ask for permission to use the copyrighted material?
    - has the owner asked you to remove the material, and have you complied?

    By the way, what is depicted is NOT unlawful; your argument for the use of
    the copyrighted material is invalid.

    He's not full of anger Andy, he's playing you for a reaction like a kid poking a bug.
    He doesn't give a [censored] for the environment or wildlife or he would be directing his
    considerable efforts in a direction where they might actually accomplish something.
    Instead he gets his jollys from annoying and namecalling.
    As you've seen a reasoned response, logical, annotated, factual is a waste of time.

    He's only interested in getting a response so he can start calling names.

    He loses when his posts get ZERO response and sit alone and ignored between other threads.
    That's the only way to defeat a troll. Like Tinkerbelle, when no one believes in him anymore
    he will wither and die.

    If you must repond to him, please delete his stupid diatribe. It's criminal to consider
    how many servers are necessary for Google to preserve his nonsense because people
    duplicate his entire post to respond.

    BS. I don't care if they get a response or not! Either way, I win,
    because you guys can't refute what I say.

    Let me see. A person submits a photograph to a publication. He states in

    you can determine that it is his since the publication displays who the
    owner of the photograph is. But you want to use the photograph for you own

    Here's a quote from a lawyer:
    1. Your copyright on the pictures. You never gave him permission to use
    your pictures. He's not engaging in "fair dealing" ie saving a copy of your
    pictures for his own personal use; he's actually broadcasting your pics.
    Unlike me, you actually watermarked your pictures so he can't claim
    ignorance.

    2. Your "moral rights". This has nothing to do with morality or anything
    of that sort. It's your right to have your pictures shown in a certain
    context ie trailbuilding or trail work and not in another context. You
    would probably object to your pictures shown in the context of his website.

    Perhaps you could post the law, in full, that states you have the right to
    display the pictures on your webite? Or are you going to post your usual
    "nah nah nah nah nah" response?

    He wouldn't loose anything he would miss, his personality has already taken
    care of that.

  18. The only thing you keep saying is "it's called fair use". Please provide
    the statute that clearly states that what you are doing is legal. You
    know - a link to the law you are hiding behind, or even copy/paste the text.

    Anything else you state is your opinion, which like the rest of your
    opinions, is not valid.

    It's not proof.

    Yes, it is proof. Either you know that (in which case you are lying), or
    you have not read your laws with regards to copyrights and photographs.

    So PROVE who is the owner.

    Nope, protected by "fair use". I'm able to quote copyrighted work in
    order to criticize it. QED

    Let me see. A person submits a photograph to a publication. He states in
    that publication that the photograph is his. Even within the publication,
    you can determine that it is his since the publication displays who the
    owner of the photograph is. But you want to use the photograph for you
    own
    personal gain, so you refute the ownership of the photograph to accomplish
    this goal. How convenient. Do you use this type of ill-logic in all of
    your thinking?

    Here's a quote from a lawyer:
    1. Your copyright on the pictures. You never gave him permission to use
    your pictures. He's not engaging in "fair dealing" ie saving a copy of
    your
    pictures for his own personal use; he's actually broadcasting your pics.
    Unlike me, you actually watermarked your pictures so he can't claim
    ignorance.

    2. Your "moral rights". This has nothing to do with morality or anything
    of that sort. It's your right to have your pictures shown in a certain
    context ie trailbuilding or trail work and not in another context. You
    would probably object to your pictures shown in the context of his
    website.

    Perhaps you could post the law, in full, that states you have the right to
    display the pictures on your webite? Or are you going to post your usual
    "nah nah nah nah nah" response?

    It's called "fair use" in the USA.
