Where The Heck Did You Get That!?

Unfortunately, a lot of people think that if it's on the Internet, it's free. Whatever it is, if they find a photo or something that someone has written, they feel they have the right to copy, modify or do whatever they please with someone else's material. Many grew up this way and don't know any different, others know better but don't care. Unless there is a way to change their thinking, such as establishing and enforcing penalties, then they will never change. Those that don't know better, need to read this and other articles about the subject of copyright issues and maybe that will be enough to make a change.

I like what Charlie does by stamping each of his photos, but even then, you have the thief that will erase or cut the copyright marks, knowing full well what they're doing is wrong. it's too easy today to modify a photo, erase that car, change the clouds or add something that doesn't belong there, and there's little one can do about that.
