Note - Given the pointing out of errors in my earlier post, I have edited the earlier edition. This may leave some comments sounding strange.

Copyright infringement carries a fine of up to $150,000 per incident. While the penalties on copyright infringement are ridiculous, so are the penalties on polygamy. But those who promote the importance of following stupid and overreaching laws should first make sure that they are obeying all the stupid, overreaching laws.

You might want to do a little more research...
That's OK though, I've done it for you.
Better luck next time.
The funny thing is your are doing exactly what you are accusing Blues of and that is Copyright Infringement. By posting the santa photo below. Did you not learn anything from Hugh blog? Did you get permission? No you didn't. Speaking of a Hypocrisy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gee, Karateka, no response?
I didn't even make a retraction demand for your malicious and erroneous comment about my violating the copyright law... which was especially funny considering that you have a copyrighted photo of Rozita posted on your blog without permission or attribution.
I'm not surprised that the Pharisee didn't warn you - even after he pulled his copy down...
Could he be hanging you out to dry on the violation?
"But those who promote the importance of following stupid and overreaching laws should first make sure that they are obeying all the stupid, overreaching laws."
I would suspect this quote would indicate to a logical person that I believe copyright laws to be stupid and overreaching, just as I believe polygamy laws to be stupid and overreaching.
"I didn't even make a retraction demand for your malicious and erroneous comment about my violating the copyright law"
I congratulate you on adding the copyright notice. I did not notice it several months ago when I last checked your blog, though perhaps it was an oversight on my part.
Then you are not very observant.
The copyright notice has been their since the blog first went up. When the author visited the website on May 6, 2008, he did not have a problem with my using his comic...
I was obeying the laws on copyrights from the beginning and can prove it. Other readers of my blog have commented that they saw the copyright attribution from the first day that they visited my blog.
I would suggest that before you make accusations, you try being a little more thorough on your investigation and have your facts in order.
Additionally, since you are speaking of copyright violations - where is the attribution or permission to use the photo of Rozita and Santa. The Pharisee was obligated to take his photo down after the copyright holder complained...
Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house.
"A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position." (Wikipedia)
I've argued that both copyright and polygamy laws are stupid and overreaching. Perhaps your powers of observation overlooked that. Perhaps your silence on that issue should be taken as tacit agreement? ;)
