Ummm...a little less whining would be cool. I could understand if someone were infringing upon our right to free speech or something serious like that, but we're complaining that somoene is actually obeying the LAW?!?!

C'mon, can't we find something better to about like the fact that I don't get to taste a margarita for another 6 months!!

Damn, I always liked Alex and Wantone's (among others) pics and articles, that is the very essence of car talk. For any lawyers, there has to be a loophole around this that we are not aware of, which makes it legal to post pics and articles, anyone know of a way?? (I thought if you attribute the source, kind of like a works cited page, then you can use the information, but i'm not an expert on all the legal implications, so I don't really know)

Adrian, thanks.

I'm going to keep posting pics, as long as I keep finding them , but now I'm just going to post a disclaimer giving credit to the hosting domain. I think it should do... for now.

Well, quick question: In the history of S2ki.com (How long has it been now? 3 years?) Has there been any lawsuits about copyright infringement?? Why such an urgency all of a sudden now?? BTW, if you take permission from the owner of the website, it's legal, and you are allowed to post portions of an article such as quotes and tidbits with no permission for news reports, information, etc.. a word or picture count isn't specified though..
