[Boston-editorial] Proposal: pictures required for centered articles

[Pete Stidman]

OK folks for the last time, we are largely exempt from
copyright because we are a total non-profit that only
publishes images in the public interest, as news
(education is also exempt.)  Now, just to be nice I
think we should shy away from pulling actual news
photos by working photogs, specifically ones that are
new and fresh, but other than that, hell there aint no
reason from any side not to use a photo of a police
patch!

In order to get sued for copyright the people suing us
would have to prove that we profitted from using their
images, this is a total impossibility.  So please. 
Plunder at will and stop worrying so much!

-Pete
