Can I sue for this??

- I would imagine they are responsible for all the contents printed on the mag
- They would be responsible if it was anywhere else but a reader submited image.

Yeah you know there has to be some form of a user agreement stating that no matter what.....they aint responsible for anything. Kinda SOL on that one.

On a side note......have u gone through the C&D website?? Like this for ex. in the TOS......though it most likely applies only to the website......but any info is a start

Am I the only one that didn't understand this?

You don't need to have a high res photo of it to be sent in. In the magazine the picture isn't too big. And the original pic is only 640x480, I made it only playing around,and it blew up.

Which issue was that in, btw? My brother subscribes to it, and that last page is the one that I always make a point to check out, just because of the inane chop jobs.
