Right then, since I am already becoming addicted to posting here, I have an avatar now. 
(I'm hoping to have the handcuff icons by my name soon, but at least it's no longer that bloody ice cream cone.)
Does anyone know if we can upload our own custom icons to use without it having to be our profile pic?

Status: offline 		I just use my profile pic, I have nothing to hide, besides, I like the way I look, no need for an avatar.

Besides with some of the screenames around her and lack of 'real' pics it hard to tell who is male and who is female at times.

i don't use my photo as i don't care to share that with the world.  i don't choose to use an avatar.  Art is licensed and i will not use the art illegally anymore.  Someone chooses to use a piece of art then they better have asked the artist whether they have permission to otherwise you open yourself up to a lawsuit.

      That seems like a good reason why we can't just upload our own.  Since these are offered by the site, it seems likely they wouldn't cause such issues, no?

The bottom line is that the site does not care about the illegal use of copyrights as this has been brought to the attention of Mod 11.

lmao you want me to contact the artists and ask whether they had been asked permission?  Mod 11 never gave me that answer when i emailed her about it.  This is their livelihood.  The comment is rather naive as to how people think they can use art based on it being posted on the net.  i am sorry but many do not understand.

made me think further - if that is what you believe why not contact the site and ask them who is the artist for the avatar in use and have they received permission to use it.  That would safeguard someone from a lawsuit.

Status: offline 		Thats why I have my pic up.  Anyone steals that and I'l know. Thankg goodness, there is only one me.

And art is only copyrighted if the artist chooses to do so.  Public domain work (like avatars, and anything else made public for free use with the artists understanding that it will be freely distributed) is not illegal. Msot of the tie, the artists who make little avatars and such are doing so with the understanding that they will be passed around.  Those that are concerned will sign them. Dont get so serious about a little piece of digital media. More likely than not, the stock images on a site like this are either sold with the domain, or in a package for use. If they are offered, the site owners have come by them legally and have the abiliity to offer them to others. With as many safeguards as the owners here ahve to keep their noses clean of all potential legal situations, coopyright infringement has probably already been addressed.
Just a guess here.

So, does this mean I can be arrested and taken to court for using my avatar?

I frequent football MBs on a reguar basis. Many of us have official NFL team logos or art as our avatar. To my knowledge no one has sought permission to use them. Given that many of the MBs are NFL MBs and they haven't done a thing to us, there must be some sort of exception to the rule kinda thing.

        Fair use?  Hell, those files could easily be commercial clip art and one file is ID'd as having been created by Loki.  Do they pay him in submissives, do you think?

Status: offline 		If anyone is concerned, please take the time to review copyright laws.  The owner of the site would be responsible for allowing use of copyrighted material on their site, not the users.  The users would be responsible if they took the work from this site and used it elsewhere without the site's permission.  There are many images, such as Logos and stock photography that artists grant blanket permission for anyone to use.  They do this for multiple reasons, Logos and such promote advertising that they do not have to pay for when used by others, they are pleased when their logos are used.  Artists who upload stock photography usually do so for other reasons, because they are particularly pleased with the art and want others to view it as often as possible, or to showcase their work.  In any event, the imagery here belongs to CollarMe.  If for any reason CollarMe 'stole' artwork from someone without the artists consent then CollarMe would be liable even if we are using it, because....we are using it on CollarMe's site.
