I enjoyed that, clever, amusing and yet so simple.
3 balloons and a rubber glove, excellent!!

As I said, these are my personal opinions, you do not have to agree with them.

I do agree that people do have the option to allow or not to allow their videos to be embedded, but as I explained, this assumes that people know what they are doing when uploading videos to YouTube. Those that have raised the issue claim to have not realised they could deny permission and are still persuing cases claiming copywrite infringement against those they consider to be offenders.
A short polite email to those that you wish to use would cost nothing and could potentially save you a lot of hassle.

QuoteThe Berne Convention

Under the Berne Convention, a copyright notice is optional on all works. The Berne Convention is an international agreement dealing with copyright matters. The convention is adhered to by all its signatories, which, at the time this was written, include some 160+ nations, including the US and the UK. Under this convention, a work is automatically copyrighted when it is created, whether or not the copyright is asserted or declared.

In other words, the moment someone creates an original artistic work, whether it is an article, blog post, music composition, picture, computer program, film, or whatever, the work is immediately regarded as having been copyrighted whether or not the author writes a copyright notice anywhere. The copyright notice is optional. Even if it's not present, the person who created the work owns the rights to the work.

So the short answer to the question is: if you see a nice piece of music, picture, computer program, video or article on a site, you can safely assume that it is copyrighted. If you feel strongly that you have to use it on your site, you will have to write to the copyright owner to ask for a license. In the event that they agree, you may have to pay royalties for the use.

It really doesn't matter to me what you do, you are ultimately responsible for your own actions, not me.

Excellent robots, love em

LOL

Beautiful displays

Hi Daniel,

I have just had a quick look at your site and have noticed that the tutorial videos are simply embedded YouTube videos made by other people, for which I assume you have permission from the relevant parties. One can't assume that whoever originally uploaded the video to YouTube knew what they were doing in making the embed code public, there are copyright owners of videos trying to sue sites that have embedded their YouTube videos, so beware.

My personal opinion is that it is immoral to advertise your site here, which is in direct competition with balloonchat.co.uk.

I, for one, will be sticking with Graham and Balloonchat.co.uk as it is by far best resource and frequented by the most friendly and helpful people one could ever wish to meet.

Cheers
Rob

Excellent Goofy Brian,

Strangely enough I've been goofing around with him today too.
This is my version made from a Disney picture.

I would assume Kenny will have tried the following, but just in case...

Does Kenny have access to another computer/laptop that he could try at home, just to ascertain whether or not his current computer has the problem.
Has he tried changing browser, say from Internet Explorer to Firefox.
Maybe unwittingly his own security is blocking the site.

I have had a simlar problem in the past and I resolved it simply by updating Firefox, never did find the actual reason for the problem.

Just to add to that, it's available in a spray can from the pound shop.

Only know that because I get through loads of the stuff, never realised it could be used on balloons, I'll have to try it

Nice one

Here's my effort.

Nearly forgot

Three and a half green and one white 260

Looks great, but tastes a lil rubbery

I do like dinosaur 2, simple but effective, great job.

Before ordering my balloons from Graham I made a couple of enquiries locally and the lowest price I could find for a bag of 100 Qualatex balloons was £12.50.
Even with the postage cost included, the few bags of balloons I received from Graham worked out at less than half the price, and I didn't have to wear out any shoe leather going to collect them.

I do love a bargain

Hopefully my tutu will be back from the seamstress by then.

Is that a mix of 260's and 350's?
