Stoning should be legal...

Why are people tools? No, seriously, why are they? Can we have a little common sense and not even joke about showing an actor RPS? Because that is like... just asking to be sued.
If you have no clue what I am talking about, here are the links from people who were a lot more involved than me. Actually, I'm not involved with LOTR RPS at all. I just read about it this incident, but it still annoys me.
the bucket of ducks
the shitstorm as detailed by mydarkstar
mala is pissed too
The offending tool's site
the (roflmao) hoax of a guestbook entry from ian & nick (on the second to last page)
Also... thieves should be dragged out into the street and shot. Repeat offenders should be jabbed with sharp, point sticks until they bleed to death.

Okay, I have been guilty of using pics of actors and doing what I will to them, but does anyone seriously believe that I own those pics? And even so, I put disclaimers up saying what they are and where they come from. Stealing people's art, images, whatever and telling other people they are yours and that you don't other people stealing images you just stole is idiotic and wrong. Especially when you steal from wel-known artists in the fandom. Chances are, someone will find it and you will be in big, big trouble. Get. A. Clue.
