truly awesome articles.. "it's not how high you get: it's the quality of the high when you get thee that counts." i missed these keen-minds, how deep they got into the high nuances... "..how delightfully fresh and fascinating and, above all, funny all the phenomena of the world suddenly seemed.."
we have full respect here for everyone and for moderators too and hope we can contribute with some fine talks and sharings in a polite way. Think main concerns were in sharing some copyrighted pics. Well let me humbling say lots of ppl here dont speak english and have never had access to old magazines. There are plenty of pp talking spanish, not only Spain, just all southamerica except brazil and few more, speak mostly and only spanish. Dont think HT would have this present, in fact nobody pays attention to southern countries but for taking fine seed lines out of them but we do and like to share this historic view so they can learn too and send them back something they deserve by their own and historically.
I understand copyright, sure I understand well like others around here, some of my direct jobs have been hacked and sold by other ppl for years and nobody protected me or others for this, we cant complain, guess we dont deserve it. Cannabis jobs are always free to use, only thing is free of copyright in this industry, funny, the base of, the original creation! Rest is plain marketing!
But often is just as easy as asking like madam DG made and things are so easy (its a honour for us). So I believe maybe just a PM and handling good politics could have fixed this not so drastically privating us of a fine cannabis soul and friend.
Hope you excuse me, but 4S showed a different world for lots of different lenguage spoken ppl who have or have never had access to them. At least in spanish we talk. There is a huge world around of diversity and new generation hunger for learning.
If we want to protect copyrights in this scenario, well here we are too And I say with my biggest respects to HT, photographers, editors, ICMag crew... and to Four Seasons. Thx mates for sharing.
big love to all
Agree with you brothers, ...but does copyright still applies to images that old? And besides that...as charlie says, that precious information was unavailable to all of us if it wasn't posted by 4S and i don't think he had other intention than sharing that knowledge, wich couldn't be obtained by any other means.
