<div class="IPBDescription">SA gives up images to corporation?</div> WARNING it is SA so it has ads, though this section has no pictures because of legal threat. I was looking through the SA Photoshop Phriday galleries when I cam upon <a href='http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=359' target='_blank'>this</a> Click on the starter image and check out the following images. When did this happen? And why isn't it in SA's legal threats section?

    That's ancient.

    It's mostly because, even if they're right, it's not worth the resources to fight it out in court just so they can host some 40 odd images. Similar story with Penny Arcade and a certain American McGee's Alice\Strawberry Shortcake crossover. Do you honestly expect them to burn through money fighting a large corporation just out of pride, when it's far easier to just take the images offline and post email addresses for their userbase to flame?
