No copyrighted material is not allowed. It is in the popup.

I'm no attorney, and I may be wrong in saying, infringement of copy righted material is when anyone would use the material for financial gain.

Posting materials from any source for informational purposes, I'm guessing is not breaking any laws.

If it is, throw me a life raft, cause I'm probably going to need one.

If you post something from another site, include the link from where it came from.

It's not illegal to post links to videos, articles, etc from other sites. That's something that every website does.

Not sure if modifying and posting something is illegal or not, but I'm pretty sure you didn't take that picture of Henry Kissinger and the Smith and Wesson in your avatars?

Hope it's not. . .

It is illegal to copy from the web since the law passed in 4/1989. Any forum that supplies avatars and other things copied or people copying from the web and posting it in full is breaking the law.

This is a duplicate thread, and did you take the picture you uploaded for your avatar? BTW, from what I understand, if you modify and or give credit to the owner of the images it is not cut and dry.

It's not illegal to post links to videos, articles, etc from other sites. That's something that every website does.

From 1989 you do not need to label something or have it registered as copyrighted. All material created privately is automatically copyrighted.

So if you copy that meme that someone took time to make and posted it here you are violating copy right laws. Though I highly doubt anyone would care because those things are usually made with the intent to be shared like that. In the end, any original content, made privately is copyrighted automatically.

Even if every website does it, it's still technically illegal. Though copyright laws are primarily a civil lawsuit only. I doubt websites would care much. If they did care they could easily seek compensation or require you to take down the material.

Our banned friend seems like he might as well be the living embodiment of those hoax Facebook blurbs about copyrights and privacy notices, haha. In any event, registering a work isn't required for creation of a copyright, but it is required eventually if one wants to enforce a copyright through a lawsuit and recover damages in the US.

There's also the fair use example. It's over-used but covers things like quoting part of a report and linking to it. Remember he first made this allegation when someone used a study to refute his nonsense in the tax or medication thread.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By iacas · Posted

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
