When the thread started and people posted funny comments alluding to it being locked, it's because of this and a number of other reasons. Some people don't understand or don't care about the various rights granted by copyright, likeness rights, fair use or any number of different intellectual property rights, let alone laws that govern them in different parts of the world or country. Some folks will go out and try to figure out how a particular subject falls into place legally and others won't. Misconstruing what someone is writing adds further complication to a potentially muddy thread where multiple subjects are being commingled already. Invariably this leads to heated tempers which may or may not manifest in the thread or someone advocating something that's already spelled out as against the rules of the forum.
At the end of the day, the board's rules are currently fairly clear on what's accepted here and what's not, so there's generally no point in trying to discuss or debate something that's not allowed and that isn't going to change in the rules anyway.
