posted a link? go to jail!

[109]

can people really be that stupid? this guy thinks that linking to his publicly available images is a violation of copyright. even worse actually, he decided not to use livejournal anymore because of that! which is sad, since his photos are really good.

see great photos at http://imageevent.com/edbook

Here's the error in your thinking.

"Everyone is doing it"
"Its really common, thus I'll do it too"

Regardless of this, its common courtesy if one is posting someone else's pictures to give credit. Its trivially simple to do. Thats all there is to it, and whether or not you personally disagree with copyright law is irrelevant in the big picture (ha), it still applies at this point in time.

it not even close to my thinking and doing. and as I said before many times, I absolutely agree that not giving credit to the maker is wrong from the ethical perspective.
