*Please listen to the doors for 24.3 seconds before watching this video or reading this post.. You pick the tune.
Now I absolutely refuse to comment on this image or the guy in the red shirt. It’s more than my life is worth!.. What I can say is that anyone involved in the outdoor recreation industry or for that matter any businesses interested in how to make social media work for them, should know these folks. You can start by watching the “Boots on the Ground” is the first of a series of “unofficial” social media panel discussion here. Besides if you watch it, you won’t have to listen to me tell you the same stuff. As they say it’s easier to to bring the mountain to… or climb to.. or those who buy Mohammad a beer will certainly… Anyway, I forgot. But the point of this blog was that I’m deleting my KayakQuixotica Twitter account in favor of my Skillet Creek Twitter account.. It’s just that well.. you know.. It may be a bit too hyper-local for some.. but even most of my outdoor life is well, hyper local…
* Yes, I did steal this screen shot from the video and may burn in hell for an indefinite period of time. If however if you are the owner of this video and you’d like to save my soul or have me remove this image, please speak now.

Derrick, I notice the “disclaimer” on the bottom of your post about pinching the image.
The Copyright Act allows the use of images if in context with review, criticism or comparison.
Are you not under any of those clauses?

Hey,
Right. In posting a recommendation of a product, (the video) in this case an online video there is a certain legal context.. In actuality I’m just being silly there in that I interact with these folks through other channels where they were also promoting their video, and the “disclaimer” is more of a tease than a legal statement.
I read your blog too back in October and you did a great job with that. There is a lot of controversy over image use. Personally I’ve got a bunch of photos out floating around the web that people have lifted for their own device. The stickler there is in who has vested interest in the product. To review a product you may use the producer’s image..but can you use a 3rd party photographers image of that product? There things get messy.
