More about the VF icons
lion_lamb has made a good post about the VFgate issue here. Personally, I'm recommending that anyone who has a post using the VF photos f-lock/members only it to protect yourself. I also removed my VF icons from my lj userpics, though the letter never mentioned anything about that.
Also on lion_lamb, lambly is staging a mature but effective rebellion here. The goal is to let them know that it is ridiculous to nail the fandom for promoting them (for free, mind you). I can see how the re-posting of full magazine scans might be a no-no, but what are 100x100 pictures threatening, really?
Also, if you follow my graphics community paperlike, it will now be members only to avoid this kind of dramz in the future. There will be adequate warnings and linkage posted when I do icon, and I assure you, VF will not be in the ranks of those I deem worthy of iconning.
