Yahoo Group "mypsptubes" sucks, for the following reasons...

The following is based on an ongiong interaction between the art community and a yahoo group called "MyPSPTubes", they gave the following email address mypsptubes.violations@yahoo.com I suppose for sticky-tape or copy-cut & post complaints for "Vi-O-Lations" of the "Fair Use" provisions of the Copywrite Act.

I don't know if you know of this yet but a very old form (actually a few of them combined) of art has taken on a new trend. What we used to call montage, collage, scrap-booking or many other forms of art re-representation including the old classic decoupage has taken on a newer form. It is in essence the cutting out from pages portions of another artists work and altering it to be re-represented in combination with other forms of art or even just modifying it to present it in a new fashion that better suits your own personal tastes.

While we all know that stealing is wrong we also know that sharing is not. tubers (people who collect tid-bits of graphic material to reassemble and offer a new presentation of the designs) by rule do not do any of this for any form of trade, they earn no money from it. It is only a form of self expression and nothing more. Also it is legal to do this under the "Fair Use" rule.

Some people influenced by selfish greed, jealousy or countless other insecurities have taken it upon themselves to police this group of people and their art form. Funny thing though is it is seldom the artist that complains because to most artists it is a compliment ti have your work so deeply looked at, appreciated and presented to others as a symbol of it's quality and admirable qualities.

Ot6her groups are springing up all over the place. These groups believe they can take advantage of this art form (Full Advantage) and use it under policing tactics as a viable source of revenue. To do this they must first stop the free trade flow of this newer art form because as everyone used to know. You can't sell water in the rain.

The following is an email sent to a friend from one of those people looking to harass and scare other people away from sharing picture tubes for free and break up groups similar to their own group to place their group above all others and take control of the flow of this form of art.

I have decided to leave the group. I am sorry Brenda
I truly enjoy the shares that come through but I have again been reported. Thanks for having me and I hope you can determine who is ruining your group. If you have a group that will at least contact someone about a questionable share I would gladly join that group. I am going to miss everyone's awesome shares.
Have a great holiday weekend my friends
Big Hugs

Now here's My Frikkin Comment...
"That's some moron from My PSP Tubes pissin up a tree Christine. Almost every tub is made from art already out there under the "fair use" provision of the Copywrite Act. I don't understand why, don't care, don't want to know why but this person reporting people seems to have a desire to corner the market on tubes. This of course would mean that this scum-bag wants to intimidate others from sharing so that he or she can violate the Fair Use Act and sell, market or have exclusive trade value to these picture tubes (*.tub and similar).

Who-ever, what-ever this delusion-ed person is has little or no meaning to me and push come to shove this idiot just identified himself or herself within this complaint " Email: mypsptubes.violations@yahoo.com" and again in the following....

"If you believe that you were designated by My PSP tubes and/or My PSP tubes' agent by mistake or misidentification, or if you believe that you have not infringed the copyrights of My PSP tubes, you may submit a sworn counter-notification as to the mistake or misidentification.

I don't know if this asshole at My PSP tubes has even a clue as to how large the circle of people that share in tubes, how well they both know and know of each other or how quickly "My PSP Tubes" members and those attached to them will become outcasts across the whole WebRing consisting of tube collectors and tube users.

Business for this person is will become noted with shame and disgrace in no time (LOL, look at what the band Metallica did to Napster and then look at what we did to the band Metallica)Poeple like that fall fast and hard and shame never washes off..."

Now back to my frikkin comment that I sent to my friend. It reads as follows...
