I'm still no where near done on the topic of pictures. The way I see it, there is no reason that we shouldn't be posting images from the story other than the fact that you think that copyright is complex when it really isn't. BBV, at one point or another, had rights to many things, but don't anymore, so they can't re-release them. But this copyright is easy to write out, as I've shown above. In my eyes, you have shown no real reason why we can't post images from the story. It doesn't matter who wrote the story, or the copyright situation of when it was released, it being released makes it completely open to fair-use-policies. The 1996 Doctor Who TV movie wasn't released on DVD in America for many years, yet images of it were fine in the past!

I'm gonna say it now, you shutting down this discussion that has three users completely up to debate just because you don't like where it is going is blatant abuse of power and is not okay. Just because you don't want to discuss it doesn't mean that you can just shut it down whenever you feel like it.
