Legal Action Against Wikipedia   Ive heard that rumors that legal action is being started against wikipedia as a result of this article for the following reasons   the SCIMD sheild being used on this article is a copyrighted image that they refuse to remove even at the request of the holder of the copyright hence they are in violation of copyright laws   Wikipedia and the users involved in editing this page are being added to one if not more of the lawsuits due to the constant slander of the students and SCIMD in attempts to hurt the current and future student body   any comments from the posters on the above and the fact that letters from the lawyers for the school copyright holder and one of the lawsuits have been ignored repeatedly  just curious      To be honest why would or should anyone care about rumors or random unsubstantiated threats from anyone on the internet The apparent copyright status of the image is documented on the image page anyone is welcome to comment about it there but nobody has done so or use any of the other mechanisms to resolve copyright concerns about media files You should read WPTHREAT before continuing down this line of discussion     it is by no means a theat against anyone  I was just curious as i had heard about the legal action being taken and curious as to why no one else had commented about it or why nothing was done  People are quick to post the negative and not question  I also understand and see that if anyone trys to defend this school or post anything positive their accounts are removed and the conversation erased claiming vandalism or something else obscure so im pretty sure this will be erased and my account and IP will be banned in typical fashion to surpress anything that doesnt conform    Sorry for jumping at youI think Ive been reading online ranters too long and completely misread your intent     Has anyone heard any rumors that SCIMD sued several editors had its claims dismissed immediately and was forced to pay damages as a result of bringing a facially unmeritorious lawsuit  If anyone has heard any such rumors do they have any comment     More seriously Azrealist I dont believe rumors of a lawsuit  have you heard anything involving  what court the suit was filed in  who was sued and  what the case number was  If not I would assume that whoever told you the rumor was probably just some disgruntled person with a connection to SCIMD trying to discourage editors from posting here  Im not questioning your good faith but Im betting whoever told you the rumor is an SCIMD apologist        From what i heard the suit or charges were being startedprocessed in NJ and Florida concomitantly with the other suits in progress Sorry but i dont have anymore info than that  If i knew all the facts i wouldnt have asked about it   I once heard some rumors that a poster on this talkpage did not understand anything about fair use and thought copyright meant that no one could use an image Care to comment on that Azrealist    I love how americans commit a crime or violate some law and then hide behind or claim freedom and the right to do so as a result of one of the amendments  Are you honestly saying that pointing out that someone did not break the law is not a valid response to accusations of breaking the law Might want to brush up either on the legalities of the situation Wikipedia is hosted in Florida all its data is in florida ergo the only law that matters is the US national and Florida state laws or maybe the English language if you meant something else with your statement
