"I already had to come down hard on the Unite party after they stole the image you used in the congratulations post on their campaign website after being formally warned not to use the images from our site on any campaignmaterials. I have nothing against you, your blog, or anything like that,but it is important that I am consistent in matters of protecting ourintellectual property."
I saved the photo from Jordan Johnson's facebook profile, thinking it looked very classy. Mr. Diamond pointed to six other photos on my blog since October that were taken from the Alligator.
I have asked Mr. Harrison to please provide me with all dates in question so that I may remove them and issue proper credit. Over the past four years I have been the subject of articles, as well as had letters and a column printed in the Alligator. I've enjoyed the readership of Alligator writers and, arguably, its editors. Over the course of the past four years, I've cited the Alligator and/or shared photos without any incident - whatsoever. However, Mr. Diamond makes very valid points in that these photos are intellectual property and requests must be made, be it from a political party, a blog, or anyone else for that matter.
I hope that no one's feelings are rubbed the wrong way by this post, but I believe a valuable lesson has been learned here today and I wanted to go above and beyond Mr. Diamond's request because I feel it's the right thing to do.

How was O&B red baiting when it pointed out that Ben Dictor had facebook notes talking about how the t was the last song he fell asleep to and the first song he woke up to every morning?
I promise you if O&B pointed out that a candidate said the same thing about Horst-Wessel-Lied, no one would accuse them of baiting Fascists.
Why the double standard? If Ben Dictor wants to write about going to sleep listening to a song that is inextricably linked to socialism, he can't claim red baiting when another party points it out.

Go Larnell!
That's a terrible picture of Maryam. She's far more attractive than that picture lets on.
You are such a tool.
the alligator is only half right. You can display the picture, but you have to give proper credit. They put it in the public domain. They can't just snatch it back. Otherwise, people wouldn't be allowed to show headlines, etc. Find a lawyer that knows this stuff, because I am pretty sure that you just need to properly source it, and you can use it.
