What makes me laugh is seeing these young commie supporters demonising capitalism but owning the latest gadgets, technology, transport etc etc... ...... Your can't make the ***** up can you...

You keep using the strawman argument.

Stick to what i stated in my original post, and in it my statement was not to justify "how photographers can or can not make money",, which seems to be "your special pleading argument", . I'm in support of fair use, and pointing out the double standards, or stupidity, of those that don't support it while at the same time happily use "copy written work" as their avatars.

So it's either;
A. you support fair use
B. you don't support fair use

No sophistry, special pleading, strawman or ad hominem please.....

@RobertPayne556
Exactly, i'm for fair use, just not the blind trying to lead .

@UK_Kev
I never mentioned "gaming products"...
Copyright material, though is, wait for it, copywritten material, artwork, assets, etc comes under that.

please show where it is not...

my original statement still stands, all those posters above, moaning about people using the photographers (copy written) work, are all happy using the same material as their avatars......You and them make the internet what it is today, wink.

When you can argue that the fair use law does or does not apply, or the owner ( the photographer in this case) is trying to use legal threats ( which has been used rampantly on youtube) when they know "fair use" may cover the accused.

Free promotion of "copy written works" ???? lol at the double standards...

Can i Apply that, " free promotion" to the professional photographers" aswell...

Exactly, this site alone would not exist if not for fair use.
Something a lot of the commentators on here seem to know little to nothing about, especially judging by their avatar pics, which are stolen copy written images.

So pay up thieves
