Having sought my own legal advice i have decided to re post images of the people who ruin vibes community spirit for the majority of it's users. Below are vibes own t&c's on the distribution of videos and images published to the site. I have highlighted the points in question which govern the rights to re distribute images. 3.1 We will own all rights in your Content once you submit it to the Service. This means you assign all rights in your Content to Us and you also waive all moral rights in that Content. As We will be the owner of the Content, we can use and exploit it in any manner, and in any media (including TV and the internet), without payment to you (other than as set out in section 4 below), and We may, without notice to you, grant the same or other rights in respect of your Content to third parties without further payment to you.
2. CONTENT
2.5 You acknowledge that, if posted on the Service, your Content may not be forward-locked which means that, once downloaded by users, it may be forwarded by MMS or email or otherwise to third parties without restriction and without further payment to you.

Types of work protected: Artistic
photography, painting, sculptures, architecture, technical drawings/diagrams, maps, logos.

It is an offence to perform any of the following acts without the consent of the owner:
Copy the work.
Rent, lend or issue copies of the work to the public.
Perform, broadcast or show the work in public.
Adapt the work.
The author of a work, or a director of a film may also have certain moral rights:
The right to be identified as the author.
Right to object to derogatory treatment.

Is work still protected on the Internet?
It makes no difference how the work is stored or published, the law still applies.
In the eyes of the law, ignorance is no excuse, and the penalties can be very high.
UK copyright law is very unforgiving, and if the original author of works presses charges against you, there is no such defence as 'sorry I didn't know'. If you violate copyright you will get sued and charged with infringement. In civil cases you can even be made to testify against your own interests.
To have a copy is not to have the copyright. You are committing an offence by forwarding or extracting this information.
Infringement of UK copyright
Copyright is infringed by:
* Making copies of the work.
* Issuing copies of the work to the public.
* Renting or lending the work to the public.
* Performing, showing or playing the work in public.
* Communicating the work to the public.
* Adapting the work or doing any of the above in relation to an adaptation.
* Authorising any of the above acts.
Civil and criminal liability may be imposed on those who knowingly deal with infringing copies of a copyright work in the course of trade/own use.
