What kinds of photos you can (and cannot) post on your MySpace?

This above question has been puzzling me ever since I started to upload my favorite photos on my MySpace. As what the MySpace photo policy says, "photos may not contain nudity, violent or offensive material, or copyrighted images". Any violation of these terms will result in the deletion of a user's account. To interpret this photo policy, what are the specifics listed:



1.) Photos should not contain nudity, or in other words, any revealed private body parts (i.e., breasts). Does this also include partial nudity, such as wearing only underwear (i.e., bra and panties) or bikini?



2.) Photos should not contain violent or offensive material. I know this refers to deadly weapons (i.e., guns), but what kinds of offensive material that cannot be posted?



3.) Photos should not be copyrighted images. Wait....am I not supposed to upload any copyrighted images from a web site, like a photo of a celebrity, and then post it on MySpace? What kinds of copyrighted images that one cannot post?



What kinds of photos you can (and cannot) post on your MySpace?

1.) There are underwear models on Myspace. No they are not that strict. They're talking about bare breasts or privates. Even g-string models are permitted.



2.) We're talking Texas Chainsaw Massacre here, or Iraqi war footage (i.e. decapitatation of p.o.w.s). Also, this includes drug paraphernalia (i.e. friends at a party "tokin' it up".)



3.) That only is when you post images that are not your's %26amp; claim it as your own. That means if there is a copyright watermarked on the image, you shouldn't put it on your profile without permission. People break that rule so much there's no enforcing it anyway.
