A star basketball player.  I've seen clips of him, at the exhortation of sports people.  He's good.

You don't say?
Well, I declare, this Lebron James sounds like a perfectly upright chap. Capital.

Who THE FUCK is Lebron James?

No, seriously. Who THE FUCK is Lebron James?

Lebron who?

poor attempt at sounding edgy and/or culturally illiterate. Even the most introverted basement-dwelling sockfucker knows who LeBron James is.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

FYI, if you look at both the NBA and NFL rates of arrest compared to the rate for the general population, it turns out that pro athletes get arrested less frequently than us normal folks. We're just not as newsworthy.

If they were uncopyrighted, wouldn't that put them in the public domain?

Actually, it's fan art that was released into the public domain. Fan art cannot be copyrighted. The artist attributed it to being a fan representation, and therefore, released him/herself from legal obligations by doing so, even as intellectual property. Therefore, I'm fine.

Actually, fan creations, including fan art and fan fiction, often infringe on copyright. If you create a story or picture using copyrighted characters without the author's permission, you've committed infringement. Most artists support the fan community that develops around their work, and chose not to pursue infringers. However, some artists are very aggressive in defending their copyright.

I know this. I've done research as I've done my fair share of fan art. I've also worked at conventions where fan art was present by guest artists. I've done authorized and unauthorized fan reproductions and know the whole rigmarole. I've spoken with Stan Lee, Greg Land, and Steve Sansweet PERSONALLY on their stances on this and have their goddamn business cards in my WALLET.  If Jim Henson Studios were to see my avatar, they would FIRST track down the artist about it, chances are I wouldn't be affected.

Dude, I do this shit for a LIVING, and you're going to tell ME what's legal and what's not?! After you blatantly admitted to being a fucking thief and just put your foot in your mouth in the other thread?!

Give me a fucking break.
