    why not just post it and have the forum filter [which represents what the NSF wants censored] handle it?

    Clarification: if it was text, the forum filter would've handled it fine, you're correct.

    But it was an image. In retrospect, I should've just changed the tags and made the image URL a clickable link.

    Biased article, I get a feeling it must be fake.

    Sony is sueing the owner of <a href='http://www.****.de/' target='_blank'>click to find out (damn filter)/</a> (it's german so don't bother) for having a song for 20 secs in a flash cartoon. He has to pay 10000€. It might be legit. But whats not legit is that the former operator of <a href='http://www.nethelpers.de/' target='_blank'>http://www.nethelpers.de/</a> has to pay 20000€ because he had lyrics from a german comedian/singer on his page.
