The point isn't whether they would be mollified--that implies some wrong was done. If it's wrong, it's still wrong whether people will put up with it or not. We shouldn't be doing things that are wrong. I don't believe that copying that photo was wrong. > By the way, the example doesn't actually *prove* that she didn't ask for > consent, but that's a side issue. Are you accusing me of lying about copying the photo without asking? Really? And, incidentally, it's 'he'. > The main issue is really to test the theory by using an image from a site > where we *know* they will complain isn't it?

Furthermore, as a student I was taught to credit my sources, not because it's legally necessary, but because it's the appropriate and ethical thing to do. I have no intention of compromising on my ethics at your goading. -- Tracy Poff _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
