Abandoned

Daktari,

Another point of view might be that if the piece is not protected (ungrabbable, watermarked, signed, copyrighted, etc) and it is on the web, then it is being shared…deliberately so. I have photos that I am totally cool with sharing, particularly ones of nature and the environment.

I regularly encounter photos that are protected one way or another and don’t use them. I see images where there are literally hundreds of the same image all from different websites and I can't find where they are from. Others are obviously not for public use. If I see that someone is selling their image I bounce away and don’t use it. I’m not interested in stealing.

People post pictures as gifts to each other all over this website giving joy to each other. I am wondering why you just decided to speak to me and Sleepy Butch. With all the picture posting that goes on here on the Planet, including on your visitor page, I'm wondering what this is really about...
