Find what you're good at and go with it. > > She really didn't know she was stealing? Probably not. Most people don't think of it as stealing when the original person hasn't lost anything tangible. She asked around and did what most people seem to do. You could make the case that copying a jpeg off the web is no more stealing someone's art than taking a picture of a statue, or a pretty building. What if you see a famous fashion model walking down the street and snap her picture? She makes a living out of her pictures being taken, and you took one of here without compensating her. It would be good if html had a standard "you can't use this picture without paying me" copyright tag that browsers could be set to recognize so that people had to actually go to some work to snarf copyrighted stuff. But when it is that easy, and most people don't care enough to do anything about it, most people don't think of it as stealing, but rather what the web is there for. > > Asshole. > > (I'm in a bit of a pissy mood today and she pushed me over the edge) > > Cheers, > frank > > "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." -- > Christopher Hitchens > > --- Original Message --- > > From: Larry Colen <[email protected]> > Sent: September 30, 2012 9/30/12 > To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> > Subject: A cautionary tale about using someone else's photos > > A blogger learns the hard way: > http://www.roniloren.com/blog/2012/7/20/bloggers-beware-you-can-get-sued-for-using-pics-on-your-blog.html > > -- > Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est > > > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
