It's not illegal or evil, but it's bad style.
The value of the image is 99.9% associations it aquired thanks to the "copyright is bad" culture using it under assumption that it is public domain.
Changing it now is bad style, and it sets bad example for others that may take this further. I know slippery slope isn't a very strong argument, but it is still valid concern.
I wonder if 4chan should adopt GPL-like licencing.
- girvo 12y agoI agree it's not evil, but in some cases it's definitely illegal. Whether that's a good or bad thing, I pass no judgement on.
- userbinator 12y agoNC-SA, which oddly enough doesn't actually exist as a real Creative Commons license, would be more similar to what 4chan users treat memes as - non-commercial and share-alike, but no attribution nor any other the other restrictions.
