"Flickr" is not a credit!

Thu Nov 15, 2007, 10:28 AM
I have been sick the past few days and surfing more than usual. I've noticed some people here at deviantart making photomanipulations and in the credits they list Flickr or even googled images or, "I found it on Yahoo. " Are you kidding me!! That's not a credit! They don't even list the particular flickr account or yahoo-ed or googled webpage (which still wouldn't be gaining permission). I can't believe that even people here at deviantart are so flippant about stealing images from the web. So blatant about copyright infringement. Here. Of all places! I can only hope that this is mostly ignorance, but it's hard for me to believe it all is.

I know it's such a massive problem... and some people just don't care which I think is rotten, there is plenty of free stock photos out there and as manipers it's our duty to give credit in return otherwise we would be lost without these wonderful giving people :(

And luckily there are enough that think like you so that the entire genre isn't given a bad name. :hug:
