FYI
The RCI have requested that any images belonging to them should not be used without their express permission. This is their legal right and I have complied with their wishes after sufficient research. We don't need to use their logo or photos to discuss the goings on of their organisation. However, if anyone does have any privately owned photos of the Longfields we would very much appreciate a copy, along with permission to publish. Feel free to send them to unkoolman@gmail.com
During discussions with a representative of Revival, the following statement was made which is erroneous and untrue. Ian has NEVER owned this forum, nor has he moderated it, and to the best of my knowledge neither has an 'Andrew' Dixon. Perhaps they are mistakenly linking the Please Consider website to this forum. They also named myself (the moderator) as a Peter B****, but this is also misinformed:

Just to add, the current registered owners listed for your forum is
Andrew Dixon & Ian Thomason so if this is out of date, you may want to
arrange it being updated as well. This is in the event that if aimoo.com
were to issue a warning\request for removal etc and recieved no response
they would most likely have to take action without any notice. Thanks

The referred image isnt in breach of copyright because of who is in the
image but rather it is in breach of copyright because the 'owner' of the
image has not granted you specific permission to use it. As an example
if a photographer took an image, they would have copyright of the image
taken. The photographer would either grant permission or sell the
copyright for the image to be used in a publication. In this case
Revival Centres International are the copyright holder for the used
image and have requested that it be removed. For more information please
refer: http://www.copyright.org.au/
The image used on you website of the RCI logo is legally registered and
copyrighted to Revival Centres International, any attempted to use or re-create
the image without specfic permission is in breach of
copyright. Refer:

I recommend seeking legal advice or consulting with the
Australian Copyright Council if you require further clarification in the matters of copyright
For your own information, the parody/satire
defence would not work in your case for multiple reasons as it is
Revival Centres International 'logo's & images' that are in breach of
copyright not the 'content\information' (although this is also currently
being reviewed). I am heavily experienced\involved in Copyright Law so
please conside this fair notice now. Any further attempts to breach any
copyright belonging to Revival Centres International will be followed up
by an 'intent to sue'. Thanks
Note the link below is a better source for your Parody\Satire defence
though as already mentioned these specific breaches unfortunately fall
out of the category acceptable use:
