i understand very well what he means, and if i need all that permission for a few scans and pics, and the others that i have, then my gallery along with every other fan site, are using "illegal" pics. without offense or trying to sound like an ass, i asked for hosting, not for a lecture on copyrights, i am very well aware of copyrights and all, thats why i have not put alot of images on my gallery, cause alot are copyrighted, and we didnt get permission and all, but simple pics like what the official site gives out, scans from mags and all, i dont really think they r such a big issue, on my gallery, ull find album scans, magazine scans, a few paparazzi scans, some events, etc...but those pics r found very widely on the net, so i dont think those r the problems, if i am completely wrong, then ok, then its wrong to have what i have, again im not trying to be rude, or sound like an ass, but having to hear this whole copyright stuff is a bit annoying, especially since my gallery has no more than 1000 miserable pics which can be found everywhere. i hope i made my point, as u guys have made urs, i dont really think we should start getting into more details and all. I mean all im trying to do is share some of my stuff, a little tribute if u must, i mean what you guys are saying is that i have to get permission for all pics, so it would be better not to put any, cause thats what u guys r making it sound like, and its very discouraging. so i would like this whole convo about copyrights to stop, since this thread is about hosting. thank you
