Regarding copyrighted material that does not belong to GoldToken

The law is deliberately vague when it comes to copyright violations and is decided on a case-by-case basis. A lawyer can render an opinion, but there's no accurate answer until a case is adjudicated by a court. Each picture, news article and each reason for posting it makes each case unique. GoldToken moderators do remove anything they can prove is copyrighted. But if they are unable to prove that a post contains copyrighted material, they have been instructed to leave it. We can't have moderators removing a picture or post just because they "suspect" it is. We acknowledge that doesn't mean they catch all infringements, though our moderators do their best to do so.

The "The Digital Millennium Copyright Act" was passed recently. It protects sites like GoldToken from prosecution from their "clients" infringements. What that means is if "Bob" posts a picture that was ripped off or stolen (posted despite copyright), you can not prosecute GoldToken for hosting "Bob's" picture. The good part is, for that protection from prosecution, GoldToken is required (and will happily do so) to take down the pictures on "Bob's" post that infringe your work. That is provided you can prove "Bob" infringed your work (should be easy). Copy right infringement happens when a picture or article knowingly is left on a page despite being asked to remove it and proven it was indeed copy written by the copy right owner.

If you have reason to believe a picture or article posted on GoldToken infringes on your copyright, please contact Badger directly, to have it removed asap.
