Around the blogosphere you've most likely noticed pictures disappearing from blogs. Apparently not only is the plagiarism issue huge and filling the court rooms, but also the copyright on photos as well.
I've started deleting my photos, as you might have noticed if you were going back a few months on the blog. I don't want to be sued. At all. : )
My question to this though would be, if someone is citing the source of the picture, providing a link and explaining where they got it, wouldn't the owner of the copyright do better than to demand it be taken down? I know I would.
I'm not sure what we're doing online, if not to promote ourselves and others. Do you have a reason I can follow on why the sudden freak out over photos?
It's a shame to see all the pretty photos disappearing.
ReplyDeleteIt is a sad day for sure..
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was thinking, Amazing that even if you put the link in they are not happy. I figure its like writing over the tongue and out the mouth; its not yours anymore with out the little copyright stamp. We are so wrapped up in what people are doing wrong, that we can't stand a chance for everyone to get along. Think positive a few times, it will make them feel better, I know it will, don't post if you don't want it to be shared...
