1. This will be fun to watch

I have not been impressed with the legal posts on that site

[cosmicone]

2. Their lawyers' practice is mainly in kangaroo courts n/t

[melman]

3. You seem to think about that site a lot

[1StrongBlackMan]

5. He/she is just holding a commercial entity accountable ...

is that, now, a problem?

[wysi]

4. Oops

One wonders how the Canadian periodical in question feels about this.

[bravenak]

6. Stealing???

That is some low down mess. No wonder Third Rate Manny was looking for Lawyers and graphic artists.

7. You Googled it?

I don't get the obsession.

[Alex4Martinez]

11. OP doesn't seem to understand copyright law.

I see no indication that the original user makes copyright claims to the image. Neither do the websites that use it make any claims or attributions.
I'm not sure why the obsession with another political board's choice of icon.

[Contrary1]

14. Why the obsession?

It's because most of the Bernie supporters left and can't be heckled here.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. You don't understand copyright law.

A creator owns the copyright the instant it is created (subject to employment contracts which may instill the ownership just as instantly to the employer).

You don't have to "make claims".

You won't be able to find a credible link that says something is public domain until claimed.

8. ...

9. I wrote the periodical and asked them if they are ok with this. perhaps that tree is public domain

clip art. Oh btw at that jackpine website they still think a certain vermont senator will be the nominee.

12. I just saw that!

[morningfog]

10. Where is the alert button for petty wannabe board wars?

I don't understand why we are supposed to care what goes on at another site?

17. DU members have always commented on other sites.

We link to other sites, and post excerpts. I started reading here in 2002, and joined in 2003. This has been the norm since I can remember.

There has always been commentary about Freepers.

Nothing has changed. I see no problem with this OP.

13. You're in contact with the artist or photographer who originated this, yes?

.

[Lancero]

16. Don't think that picture originated from that website.

Looks like it might be old clipart tbh.

Edit - Odds are it originated from on years release of "The Distribution and Synopsis of Ecological and Silvical Characteristics of Tree Species of British Columbia", given the similar styles.

Still though, for not liking that site you seem to have a rather unhealthy obsession with it.

19. It's clipart

It's being used all over the web.

[Lancero]

21. Edited the post before your reply, the image likely originated from a tree species compendium.

[cosmicone]

24. Wrong

Here is the Jackpine page from the tree species compendium and the image is different:

[cosmicone]

23. See #22 n/t

[bonemachine]

18. looking at the two images

They are similar, but even if you swap the colors, they are definitely not identical....

[womanofthehills]

20. You can drag any image into "Google Images"

to get info on image - definite looks like chipart

[cosmicone]

22. It is NOT clipart

It is from a book by Milton Acorn, a Canadian poet. The book is titled "Jackpine Sonnets"
