Flickr removed the image voluntarily because it was the subject of too much public controversy

Flickr removed the image voluntarily because it was the subject of too much public controversy The base image is photoshopped from a TIME magazine copyrighted image. They have no choice.

Translation: We dont like anyone to mock our messiah Agreed. All those Bush=Hitler/chimp/etc. photos are considered free speech and, as thus, will remain indefinitely.

There is something to be said for neutral copyright protection on all sides of any debate, and also for the right of a private business to remove any post for any reason, just as the owner may do here at FR.
Flame away.

I would imagine that there are well over 300,000 copies around the internet presently. I’ve got twice over on my blog site. So they can remove as many as they want...it’ll just reproduce.

Zazzle is where I got my little stickers.....1 1/2 inchers - suitable for even currency if desired.
