| | Posted: | | | | Technically, no it is not legal, omueller. And it is NOT part of Invelos. The material is copyrighted and once it is traded, or exchanged in any manner it becoimes a copyright violation and exposes the users involved along with the dvleloper of it to the legal liabilities involved in Copyright violation. You can build it locally under fair use, which is what I do, but I will NOT share my headshot images with anyone. for that reason.

Could headshot import/export be implemented by a plugin?
No - not without a change to the API. Of course a plugin could resourt to some of the same dirty tricks the existing headshot importer use, but then it would not be any real benefit it's a plugin. In that case headshot import/export should be implemented in the main program (or the API changed). I fully support this feature request. EDIT: I'd also like to see an option to remove all headshots from the database. Headshots can increase the database size significantly. At some point I may decide to remove them all. | | | | Last edited: by RHo |

Except that writers of software that has a legitimate use cannot be held responsible if others use their software to break the law. While in an ideal world, yes, but how many file sharing networks have been shut down due to users using it for illegal sharing of copyrighted files? |

| | Posted: | | | | So, the solution is simple... Ken just needs to move to Sweden.  Anyway, noone is suggesting DVD Profiler includes a sharing network. Programs like BitTorrent are misused to the extreme - but yet I have not heard of it being banned (sure, Hollywood would love to make it illigal, but luckily they have not yet paied enough to the politicians to get it completely their way). | | | Regards

My use of a file sharing network is just an example of software created for legitimate use getting shut down due to illegal use. A "Network" and "Software" is not the same thing. So you can't use a shutdown of a network as an example of a shutdown of software. Sure, some software relies on a specific network and could hence be rendered inoperative from a shutdown, but that does not change the fact that it is the network that is closed down. | | | Regards

| | Posted: | | | | Sharing copyrighted headshots or import/export them locally are different. We don't share headshots with dvdprofiler! Quoting RHo: Quote:

Yes, please - I tried the master headshot database and couldn't get rid of them - I had to remove all files, create a new database and recover my profiles. |

| | Posted: | | | | No matter what anyone thinks about this issue or what their concerns may be, it's up to Ken to decide whether he will incorporate this function into DVD Profiler. I'm sure he will weigh all the pros and cons and may even consult with a copyright attorney to see what, if any, is the exposure to Invelos in this matter. Afterall, Kens' no dummy. He's already been through one lawsuit and I doubt he wants to go through that again  . | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| | Posted: | | | | This has been discussed before amany times and usually comes upo when somebody wants to try and poke holes at Copyright law. Apparently there is a difference between what we do and Covers, since we are NOT allowed to use spines, it falls under fair use.

AA Yes, that's the point. I always think, while i'im reading this thread: Why nobody speaks about the cover? Is there no copyright? So what are you talking about. Let Ken decide. For me, there's no problem with the headshots. I want the the same feature! |

Skip I didn't want to say, that they are the same; but I wanted to know on which basis they are allowed to be distributed. - Only my curiosity... What do you mean with "spines"? AA | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |
