You seem to be skirting the issue here, that you did in fact take my photo and alter it, then when I called you on it, you said, in this very thread, that it was in fact not my file.

It's obvious to anyone with fifteen seconds of time to spare to look that you simply enlarged and cloned out the spots on the photo. If you're going to lie and say you didn't use my photo, you could at least exhibit competent Photoshop skills to back it up.

It's great that you're busy and working hard, but a simple clarification would take all of thirty seconds. I find it amusing that you took the time to blast me on this thread for accusing you, when it fact, I was right.

Geez Ryan. You tell Jeron to admit he's lying, when it is you who are still lying.

It's NOT YOUR DAMN FRIGGING PICTURE!!!!!!! You stole it just as much as someone else who has it on their computer.

Your a f*cking hypocrite. Bastard.

And not even a magnificent one - like Rutherford.

I'm not lying. I've said from the very beginning that it's my file. If you have problems reading, perhaps you should take the words a little slower.

No, I didn't "steal" it. I scanned it in from the magazine, and if you view it on my website, it's clearly marked as being from Vanity Fair.

Your a f*cking hypocrite. Bastard.

Classy. Helps to make your point even more worthless.

Your message could have used a bit more editing. On your second attempt, maybe you should have considered that you have no point and just deleted the entire post.

The fact remains that Jeron lied on this board. Flat out lied. He swooped in like he was the hero, and he lied and he hasn't the guts to admit it.

Alright Ryan, here ya go. Enough of this sh*t. I didn't scan it, I took it from your site. I do own the magazine, so regardless of who's scan it is, your scan's just as good as mine. Making a desktop for Philipp, while something I wanted to do, was not such an important task that I needed to dig through boxes to find my own copy. You and I own the same magazine. You and I have the same rights when it comes to what we do with it personally. The images from my magazine and your magazine are interchangeable. Therefore, why should I put forth any extra effort scanning when you've done the work already?

Now that I've made my admission of guilt - such a huge issue, apparently - where in the heck has it gotten anybody? Does it make you feel any more justified in giving Philipp, or anyone else an unnecessarily hard time for an innocent request that doesn't affect you in any way? Does it make you feel any more justified for claiming ownership of a chunk of 1's and 0's that are identical to whatever I could produce, if I chose to do so?

Sorry for fibbing, if you're gonna get your panties in such a wad about that, damn, get a clue man. You've missed the point.

If you would like, Ryan, I can split my earnings with you. Or heck, I'll just forward the check to your address.

Oh, wait...

Thanks Ford! Me being the "pope" and this board being my church and all really works.

So... what would that mean for anyone who downloaded said image, modified it, and then passed it on to Phillip or others?

Awesome comeback, man! Attacking people on a personal level ALWAYS works. You showed him!

And you would know this how?

Let me use Ryan's catchphrase to describe you. MORON!

Let's file a class action against Google's Image Search.

The crapfest here is closed. Next time it won't last 1/3 as long. I will hope everyone involved above will re-think what is and what is not truly important in the grand scheme of things.
