If you use copyrighted images without permission, eventually you will be caught. There are companies, check out PIXSY. that look for copyright violations and then present the website owners with outrageous bill's ($1,000's) for the use of an image and then will eventually sue you if you don't pay up.
Submitting a bill and getting paid for it are often two different things.

Both the ChipGuide and others here should be aware that a copyright notice on an image has very limited meaning. There are no legal penalties for misuse of copyrighted images unless those specific images have been registered with the Library of Congress. If not, the only legal remedy is removal of the images from the offending publication. There are no possible fines, period..

(And once those images have been removed from your on-line publications, you can always point to them on the Wayback Machine. Let the copyright-claiming idiots go after *them*. :cool )
 
I may not be a smart person, but it appears to me that there are ads running on the website (I run an adblocker so I had to steal this screenshot. I would credit the person I stole it from but clearly I added a circle which now makes the image mine and nobody better use it ever again with out saying that it is mine).

How can chipguide say they don't profit off of their website if ads are running? People donate images of chips. Site hosts images. Site makes money when people visit the site because of ads. Maybe I don't understand how the internet works?

Oh, and I stole these chip pics from the people that posted them, which were probably stolen from someone else claiming to own them, but, we're probably stolen from The Chip Guide, who probably stole them from whoever stole them.

@ChipGuide - am I doing this correctly? I edited the metadata and carefully cropped the image. It's mine now right?

Look out boys and girls - FishUndChipsKollectionGuide (my new idea for a website cataloging different types of chips/French fries and battered & fried marine animals) is coming for your Intellectual Property!

Let's see if you are willing to put your money where your mouth is. ( Is that how the saying goes?)
I expect some thinly veiled threats and some passive aggressive word salad about copyright law.

Come at me bro

Are you not aware that if you use copyrighted images of french fries without permission, eventually you will be caught? There are companies like PIXSY that look for copyright violations and then present the website owners with outrageous bill's ($1,000's) for the use of an image and then will eventually sue you if you don't pay up. You should probably consider working out a deal to allow PCF members to post french fry images (for non-commercial use) without having to mention the source.

Otherwise you're talking $1-1.50 PER FRY.

But youre not getting legal right? Youre just asking that people cite you, is that too much to ask??
 
This is statement is a startling indictment of the US education system.

These are freedom fries:

Curly fries are the best kind of fries. Fight me.
Steak fries > curly fries > freedom fries > thinly cut scraps of taters
