Re: My Personal Breakdown of the New Overlays

I am curious when circumstantial evidence is admissible. In a court of law, it doesn't take much to get a conviction. While I'm not saying that this IS a court, I am still curious of how many lines must match before it's looked at seriously.

It's actually really hard to get a conviction, especially in criminal court if it's run correctly. It would have to be beyond a reasonable doubt, which it's not, or if we're going by copyright law, it has to be clear to an outside observer what the piece is based on to be non-derivative work, which I'm personally not convinced of either.

As for how many lines - I gave you an idea of what makes something definitively traced in a picture elsewhere. You have about a third of what I'd look at, if that.
