waldo Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 Images posted on this forum would fall under the purview of Fair Use for criticism, research, or education. possibly... Fair Use is an American concept - as I read it, 'Fair Dealing' is the moniker for Canada's policy relative to our more nuanced and less broader exceptions to copyright protection. In that vein, the oft referenced SCC case law refers to s. 29 of the Copyright Act: "fair dealing for the purpose of research or private study". But, uhhh..... as we're continually reminded by one of the foreign MLW interlopers, MLW is hosted at an American/Texas site. Things that make you go, hmmmmm Quote

cybercoma Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Posted March 28, 2012 What's the point of a support and questions forum if there's never going to be any answers or support? Quote

Don't like it...start your own site. We were informed long ago that this web site would not be actively maintained months ago. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Charles Anthony Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Can we enable these? No. The reason is aesthetic. Use a link to the image instead of embedding images. Quote We do not have time for a meeting of the flat earth society. << Où sont mes amis ? Ils sont ici, ils sont ici... >>
Jack Weber Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 I have noticed a slowdown when I open threads with lots of YouTube media links on them, like the recent one by Jack Weber. On my laptop I keep a Task Manager running in the background at all times, and notice the CPU runs at 100% for a long time when I load those threads. Would have been better not to allow Media tags, IMO. The Albertans who run this board have got it right. Keep it text-only, old school. Not change, not progress. sorry...

bush_cheney2004 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 No. The reason is aesthetic. Use a link to the image instead of embedding images. Roger that...and just plain smart. Who needs the associated headaches? Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Smallc Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 No. The reason is aesthetic. So then why allow the videos? Quote
cybercoma Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Posted March 29, 2012 So then why allow the videos? And besides, the website isn't actively maintained any longer, so it's not like the forums need to fit seamlessly with it, as they once did. I'm just chalking this one up to the line that parents use, "No, because I said so." Their forum. Their choice. Quote
