Any scam accusation that links the scam's shills to the scam team via photos is considered a dox?
What about all of the fake team photos constantly busted as lies proven by links to the actual photos with real names? Are all of those bannable doxes also?

He says here it is not even his name..

illegal [...] defend my rights through the courts [...] I will sue the forum

Minex shill talks about illegal things and want to sue someone. Maybe court will be interested to hear how minex shill tried to lure people into this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5046331.0

If this thread contains a dox should it not just be moved to the investigations board?

I believe this is best explanation https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4875873.msg43910598#msg43910598

Sometimes forum members unintentionally break forum rules. I don't think they should be banned for doing good to community, especially not when some scam shill shared his personal information on forum.

What kind of illegal things?

1. The investigation has the right to conduct only the police, and not some kind of user.
2. Only the court has the right to establish the legality or lawlessness of some facts.
3. The fact that the user once did a favor and then slandered other people 100 times is useful?
4. The user has the right to only assume, suspect, have an opinion or an inclination (like - do not like the project).

How to deal with the fact that the user group in collusion begins a trolling attack on the project (user) with a distortion of truth in order to harm the reputation of the project (user)?
Are you sure of their intentions?

Technically photos are not in breach of copyright on bitcointalk. The images are hosted on an external server not in control of this website. If there is a breach of copyright it is with the image host and the person who posted it. Bitcointalk only links to the image. In most jurisdictions linking to an image does not result in breach of copyright.

He is actually right, it doesn't matter if it's hosted on an external site or not, if you are the owner of the forum you can be sued for copyright infringement if someone posts a copyrighted picture. Of course it matters a lot where the server is located.

Not if the link is to an origional post. It is like posting a URL.

The presence of the image is only virtual. The image file is not on the bitcointalk server - only a link to the image.

Removal of the image from the linked site will result in the url displaying

Such site can also block external access to the image.

In the country where I live it is not considered infringement. It is also not disallowed by the bitcointalk rules.

...and that is not even getting into the "fair use" argument or the fact that most, if not all of the images that were linked to are in public domain with no distinguishable ownership.

A lot of the memes are generated on meme makers using royalty free stock photos.

Crazy countries can make crazy laws. But since I don't live in them or plan to visit they have no jurisdiction over me. If those countries attempt to enforce those crazy laws outside of their own country it may well be breaching the constitutional laws of the country that I live in.

In the majority of civilized countries - linking and framing is not considered copyright infringement.

Quote

In large part, linking and framing are not held to be copyright infringement under US and German copyright law, even though the underlying Web pages are protected under copyright law. Because the copyright-protected content is stored on a server other than that of the linking or framing person (it is stored on the plaintiff's server), there is typically no infringing "copy" made by the defendant linking or framing person (as may be essential), on which to base liability. Some European countries take a more protective view, however, and hold unauthorized framing and so-called deep linking unlawful.

The European Court of Justice's binding ruling in 2014 was that embedding a work could not be a violation of copyright:

The embedding in a website of a protected work which is publicly accessible on another website by means of a link using the framing technology does not by itself constitute communication to the public within the meaning of [the EU Copyright directive] to the extent that the relevant work is neither communicated to a new public nor by using a specific technical means different from that used for the original communication

As long as Bitcointalk follows the DCMA guidelines they have nothing to worry about.

Thank you for information. I know what you're talking about, but there are several points:
- Links must go to the source of information, where the author's information was posted.
- It is not allowed to distort, edit the integrity of information, without the consent of the author, especially with the aim of humiliating, causing moral damage, etc.

This is similar to how I will take someone's author's song, vozmu change words, where I will insult the author of the song and will spread on the Internet - by making a link to it on some of the servers on the Internet.

Therefore, users who distribute my photos without my knowledge have such status as thieves. They stole it and now use it in their messages, edit it, etc.
