Hey Taggers and Snaggers,

A word of caution.  The following is a list of artists and or companies who have copyrighted work being swapped.  There is a very recent uproar in the tagging world... a lot of the artists whose artwork has been tubed for years and made available to the tagging world have now banded together and are cracking down on us lowly taggers.
 
And it isn't just artists. Disney and ALL of their characters as well as MOST cartoon character companies have also joined the ranks of prosecuting anyone caught using their copyrighted materials. And, they have hired FULL compliments of people to surf the net -- concentrating on Graphic Lists around this and other countries -- to try to 'catch' us in the act.
 
Please respect their requests and do not use any of the following images...the artist's lawyers are going after people who illegally use their images.  Thanks.

Thanks for the reminder Joe..I have an extensive NO~No List as well as a Yes~List..but of course it changes all the time..the best thing to do ..if you're in doubt is e-mail the artist..asking permission to use their work..it helps also to let them know what you have in mind to do with it..Most are usually honored to be asked and will give their permission provided copyright is in tact or link back to their site is included..
