Anyone that knows copyright rules. When you rip scenes from movies making GIFS for avatars? Any comments?

the size limitation kills that here. xia set it low for a reason. Also, I can't seem to change it either

Thanks for your comment but could you please explain. How it can be that there is a size limitation. I just don't want anyone buging me if I get an avatar from a movie.

copyright laws permit people to make 30 second clips (or smaller) without penalization. I know this is true for music under ASCAP. Should hold true to video as well.

as for avatar size limit, check the user control panel.

edit - 100x100 pixels max or 19.5KB. whichever is smaller.

Great thanks for your effort. I guess the 30 seconds is important for those that sells for instance mp3:s for sample use.
It helped alot but here I got the specifiks.
Don't know how valid the source is but if it's telling the truth about what you said then it should be valid for this and I quote:

"up to 10% or three minutes, whichever is less, of a copyrighted motion media work (for example, an animation, video or film image)"

So I guess even you know just a little bit more.
