  Wow so much freedom. You can’t even alter a picture that you own.

    Quite the contrary, actually. Thanks to this law you won’t have to watermark something you own, in order to prevent companies to use it for profit.

    Unless of course you have the misconception that downloading something that someone else made is the same as owning it. In which case, I understand this might be difficult for you to grasp.

      Oh hi Disney. Here to shut down another daycare for having a picture of Mickey Mouse?

      I have full rights to do whatever the fuck I want with content and tech. If I want to make Daffy Duck solve a mystery with Cheech in Victorian England with Genghis Khan as the chief of Scotland yard and Fred Rodgers as the bad guy I am free to do so. If I buy a machine I can take apart all of it, reverse engineer it, modify it, and comment on it on YouTube.

      Bite me corporate

        There are people who think that something being official law is automatically legal. It’s a bit inconvenient that Nazi Germany is the first example that comes to mind to explain why they are wrong.

        Yes. Your content and tech. Thanks to laws like these. Not to someone else’s.

      I have ever right to remove a watermark from any image on my computer.

        Not true however if you actually own the image then it’s unlikely to have a watermark
