Here is a sad/interesting story. Too bad (for the victims) that this wasn’t with a company here in the states, they could at least get something out of it. Copyright infringment, no model releases, etc. I wonder what 3x compensation would be on something like this…

No, what’s really sad is reading the comments
I shot a friends recording studio here in Sydney, and he found a studio in the US was using the shot on their website and claiming it was there studio.
Unbelievable really..

A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
Had a photograph taken and planned to be used in publication, without my permission, too. It is amazing how many publishers, in some countries, do not care about where the photographs came from or about copyright infringements.
Seems that many believe that the internet is 100% public domain and that all images posted on the net are also 100% public domain. This guy takes it to a new extreme though but it does illustrate the mindset of some. http://www.shapelessmass.com/index.html/?p=578
Yeah Ben thats a funny one. I read it somewhere else recently too. Sad thing is, the original offender didn’t know he was in the wrong to begin with.
I will say that the company I used to work for (which has since folded in the recession) had the policy of using images off the internet which were not licensed. It made me sick every time I had to do it, and thought about informing the photographers but unfortunately I didn’t always have their name. Unfortunately I never did…http://society6.com/grainfarmer Fly Fishing and Landscape open edition Photography prints.

http://instagram.com/chad_simcox InstagramIMHO the problem with the net is the lack of accountability and morals amongst a lot of it’s users.
It also seems VERY strange to me that anonymous users are permitted and even encouraged.I suspect if everyone had to use their real name and have a real address they would behave in a more normal fashion.
This forum is a good example – it’s far more civil then a lot of others.
