It’s hardly proprietary content. Does every photo that gets embedded on their site automatically get watermarked? This makes no sense to me. It’s not their intellectual property so it’s not a legal matter. But they can ban you since it’s a private forum. But since this is by far my main home and I care not a lick about that...

It would seem to be a lot more effort then it’s worth. I know you can upload photos to AmericanWx, which I guess might tag them in some way if you were to lift them and post it elsewhere. I’d imagine 33andRain has something similar. But I have to think you’d have to do a whole bunch of work to possibly figure out it was stolen. I guess if they really have “spies” and an image is posted there and it is quickly played here... but lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I won't be posting maps anymore because the information I get is from 33andrain. Can't be ripping maps from that forum man! Here is the reminder, in case anyone hasn't read it yet: By the way, I DO admit to taking screenshotting content from 33andrain in the past. I am 100% guilty of doing this. Lol. Wow! Some people take it too seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 All of this said, I did some experimenting and found out that yes, copying their link and just simply embedding it could theoretically lead you to getting caught. If they would really take the time to track that down though, that says a lot more about their paranoia than anything else. Tough to be banned without an account and a VPN though. If you download the image, save it, and reupload it to Imgur, that is a totally different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t really care if they ban me if that is their reaction towards collaborative sharing of information. What I love most about this place is the free exchange of information and discourse. I have no interest in being a part of a group with that attitude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 @NorthArlington101 @JakkelWx One last thing wrt 33... posting content that originated on 33andrain “could” be a copyright violation if the creator does not consider it public or fair use. However I made sure all of the posts I made were content that did not originate on 33. The creator has proprietary rights not 33. If there were any violations they would be equally guilty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmWx forum for life, mofos. Howard dropped those weather phone digits in here a few days ago, so I have been calling that pretty regularly to hear his raspy, calming voice. I’m hoping he’ll do something for the holidays like he did for Halloween a decade or so back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
