There are images of Necronomicon pages all over the freaking net - James site couldnt have been solely responsible for the damages! Thats stupid, anyone with a scanner and sometime to kill can get reproductions of the Necronomicon pages....

He also happens to believe that his reproductions are worth 600 dollars each, lets wait and let see what a judge thinks of that....

I've never questioned whether or not Tom was legally "right", but truth be told, he's behaving in a non-professional manner. Or, in other words, he's being a monumental dick about it. Insulting his fans, threatening teenagers... his reputation won't get out of this unscathed. I'm severely disappointed in him.

Why is that a big deal?
Because nobody brings up 'sex with dead people'!
Of course they don't, it's sick.
You brought it up!
To say I never did it.
I didn't ask that.
You should.

Yes I agre he legaly is right to want the pics down and if he actually lost money because of this he would be awarded it. I did some looking on the net and found this.


"Can I use copyrighted materials on my Web page?"

Well, yes and no. You can use copyrighted works when the work is either public domain or when your use of the materials can be considered as "fair use". But what exactly IS "fair use" you might be wondering? and that's a #### good question. Fair use is basically up to the copyright holder. If they don't like it, you have to pull it from your Web page or suffer the consequences

Determination of Fair Use is weighed by looking at how the work is used, how much of the work is used, and probably most important how does the use affect the value and potential sales of the original work.  Fair Use frequently comes into question when determining what portion of a book might be quoted or used for reviews, criticism, education, and research

So there is what I have learned from searching for copywrite in good old yahoo as Tom sugested.

Okay, I've been thinking and I realized that unless Tom can prove that the images of his book came from James' site he really dosen't have a case...except mabye for punitive damages and that certainly won't get him a whole lot of money...I really don't know how he is going to prove that the images came from James' site...

Okay, this is directed to MOrsoth. Im e-mailing him and sending him a private message, i just want to make SURE he gets it.

Do NOT use that page i got from Tom Sullivan on your website (its the bat page used in ED2!;). Im not 100% sure if you got it through the e-mail i sent you (i dont think you did)

Anyway, IF you did, dont

In all fairness I was not the nicest of persons when I first wrote Tom not that I was real rude. I did mention that he seemed to be a dick about this. In the last e-mail I got from him he seemed to have cooled down abit. I guess thats a part of being a artist is a temper. Lets just hope this ends well. Good luck James I hope you are not mad at me for trying to help.

personally, I think Tom's a bit of a dick.

$650 for one of those books? Like ####. I can make my own for a lot less and make it look alot better.
