I like the concept, not sure what the R1 FANBOYS will say

The Panavision/Sony Genesis, for example, uses a cinema 35mm 12.4 megapixel CCD chip (5760x2160) with some kind of proprietary RGB color striping system, which results in a "True 1080p.".

There's nothing proprietary or fancy about it. Any manufacturer could choose to do the same thing. Genesis and F-35 both use the same layout (though not the same chip). It's just simple vertical RGB stripes. There are 1920 sets of three across the chip (1920 x 3 = 5760).

 

Any single chip camera, whether it's Bayer or vertical stripe, requires digital re-sampling to convert the raw data from the photosites into the x-y array of co-located RGB data sets commonly known as pixels.

Job!?!? I'm expecting to get served papers.

You'll have to do better than that. All you've done so far is infringed the copyright of whoever took that photo (or the person they sold the copyright to if applicable).

 

At worst you might get sent some ominous sounding but legally meaningless drivel typed up by a minimum wage hack paralegal and signed by some wanker junior attorney who likley doesn't even know what it's about, and if you're really lucky you might even get it hand-delivered by a boozed-out washed-up private detective in an attempt to make seem even more ominous.

 

Some law firms (or more likley, people trying to pretend they are law firma but are just Joe Sh!t with a word processor) have even been known to resort to printing the letters on blue paper, which they must have seen on Law and Order, but expert legal opinion is that the colour of the paper is irrelevant.

Hi,

 

I heard some of these private dicks don't have the balls to actually come to the door, they leave their notes in the garden or under your windscreen wipers. It's very funny as with so much CCTV it's usually easy to see their faces clearly & get the no of their car. Of course with higher resoloutin sensors from RED we will be able to read the note whilst the guy is still holding it. :lol:

Most of them are too stupid to even know what a CCTV camera is. If they were any good, they would be doing real detective work, not acting as postman for scumbag lawyers (sorry about the tautology) :lol:

Probably will fall under fair use as it is creating a "social commentary," which also does not directly impact the original market for said photographs, and sufficiently changes them so as to make it ok. Just hire your own cheap lawyer and sue the copyright holders first !

I tell my wife, "Parody is protected under copyright law." She answers, "Are court costs and legal fees?"

 

She has a good point.

 

She does. Time to buy a large false moustache and a trenchcoat. They'll never find you.
