Oh so you look at it like you "marked" your territory? That once your suppressor was on those rifles and in the picture, the picture is yours and can't be touched or used by a competitor?

It is more of an ethics issue. If you take a class in photo editing (I mean to be an Editor for a publication) they will spend some time on it.

ETHICS?
Wow.
Quit posting those other stupid pictures. Those pictures were done to make fun of people or exaggerate. SF did not do that to you and your product.
Get over it.

I am sorry that you don't see the ethical issue with what Surefire did, but many others do. We just have different standards.
Yes we definitely do. Others do too.

I'm at a loss to understand the problem here.
Assuming arguendo that SureFire had acquired legal rights to use that photo in its publication, then they can do anything they want to the photo unless the change violates the terms of their license with the original's copyright holder.
The Surefire magalog is an advertising tool, and the fact that many people actually pay for it is just icing on the cake for the company. It's one big advertisement and they can't possibly be expected to publish competitor's products in it.
Glock does the same thing, and S&W will have their first magalog at SHOT Show in January. Hell, a picture I took (and own) was used twice in the Glock Annual without payment or even attribution. Gun companies are just all evil.![]()
I lol'd. His whole ordeal started when a guy he did time with called him on his antics after seeing pictures of him online. Were it not for people in the knife world who actually know him from the slammer, no one would know who old Mickey Ray Burger really is.
He did try to defend himself, and one of his long time friends (a police officer who claims to have known him for 20 years) even came to his aide saying "he may be a felon, but he's the only felon I'd ever trust around my kids".
The luxury of freedom was not free.
