Regardless. You can't post pictures to a public image sharing site that provides the tools to link to those pictures and then be surprised when those links get posted in other places on the internet. When companies try to limit the decimation of trailers and movies on youtube, they make the website take them down, much like WotC did with the unapproved pictures and stats that were released early. If the original taker of the pictures of the poster didn't want them to be spread around, I'm sure they would have been taken down as well.

I'm not trying to be obstinate. I think everyone is justifiably excited about the new set and hungry for more info about it. I'm sure no offense was intended, and it seems to be a bit of a stretch to imply that it was.

Actually, even if it is given to him, it's not his to what he pleases. Same when you buy a movie, you can't make copies and give it to your friends. That would be piracy. Not saying his posting the pics is piracy, just that the company retains property rights.

So, it could be construed that he needed permission from wizards to post the pics. I don't believe that, as I don't believe permission was needed to repost the pics elsewhere. Still credit should have been given where the info came from.

Yeah, even worse than evil work firewall is my lack of a computer at work, so I have to use my blackberry to get to bloomilk.

Boy, this arguement sounds familiar. There are many eager posters who see something and don't think too much before they post (or repost). There are also plenty of valid reasons why someone can't or won't go to a certain site.

Over stuff like this, the best you can really do is ask. There is absolutely NO reason to bash either site's users.

I wasn't saying otherwise, but the company still maintians property rights over it. He still able to do things with it (within reason). I was just citing movies because you cannot redistribute them, even when you are not making a profit. It is a different sort of case, but the point I was trying to make was that one could own a physical representation of a copyrighted material, but not be able to redistribute that without permission.

You are welcome. All of the canon and non-canon talk about the Knights of the Old Republic games can be very confusing.

Edit: Oh, my screen name?

WAAAAAAAAY OFF TOPIC!!!

Thanks for the pics and thanks to the original poster of the pics.

well I dont know how my site got into this but first off I would like to thank all the people here who have bashed swmgamers.com... fun stuff for sure.

As I remember before Bloomilk.com had forums many of you folks bashing the site lived there when we got leaks on stats. So it gives me warm fuzzies to see how fickle you are.

On Gamers we have a sticky that lets folks know that if something is posted there preview wise that it stays there without the permission of the person who posted or without giving total credit to the source of the information. I find this a reasonable and prudent policy so maybe when something is leaked from this site people can appreciate the site for what it does versus bashing it.

If you can view bloomilk at work I can guarantee you that you can view gamers at work. it travels thru almost every filter out there.

The reason for registering at Gamers is because leaked stats are kept hidden. This is because of some of the back lash that occured during the Barcelona-gate episode in which we had all of the A&E stats way early. Similar thing happened during Force Unleashed when we got all of the stats way early. I dont find these stats myself but I have to be careful as I am a part-time employee of wizos.

I think there was only one person who "bashed" Gamers if it makes you feel any better.

And I haven't been prevented from accessing Gamers on any computer as of yet, but are you saying that people who say they can't access Gamers while at work but can access Bloomilk are being dishonest or just mistaken?
