In Reply to: Let's just say, you've got some SERIOUS issues... posted by Wellfed on July 23, 2007 at 09:58:49:
Isn't it obvious that you've addressed everything but the *main point* in the initial post of this thread? One thing is certain. Kait did, apparently without asking permission, post Len's pic on the MD site. Truthfully, I'm no expert on net law regarding issues like this. Maybe someone who *is* can chime in.But whether its lawful or not, IMO its at the least a tad unseemly, particularly since the photograph was taken and posted by someone who ain't exactly a booster of MD offerings. The caption Kait placed underneath the pic expresses pretty much the opposite of what the photographer feels about the "product". I can't imagine respected hifi companies doing something like that. Can you? If so, please give me an example.
