Don’t we just love to have something
to be scared of. I think “Steal” is a hard word
here. People do copy images and use them all
over the place… So what? Mostly they’re 8 to 12 year olds using
pics for fun stuff. The story about the banknote must be a 1
in a billion. If you have pics of African heads of
state, they’re likely to be subject to abuse, I guess. But copyright law is one of those things
that’s really for the benefit of big corporations who want to control
creative output. But it’s sold as something to protect the artist cos
otherwise it would never float. It’s FAR more often used AGAINST artists
than for them. I say: Let the kids take my pics on the
internet (PLEASE CHOOSE MINE FROM THE BILLIONS OUT THERE AND MAKE ME FEEL LIKE
I’M DOING SOMETHING WORTHWHILE) and those that I feel real precious about,
I won’t put up on a website. You can’t prevent it so why worry
about it. The thing
you need least of all is tighter laws herschel From: owner- February's Popular Photography has a
