Copyright Infringement

**Sealy** · 10-26-2002, 04:01 AM

Oh boy! Now it's Sealy's turn on the soap box and I am not a very happy camper right now...In the first place I can't sleep tonight so I am already grouchy. Second is I was surfing around and came across another support board and read something that has just burned a hole in my boots!!
Copyright infringement...we all do it to a certain degree technicaly, but to blatently take someone else's work when there are rules for using that work , and redistribute, alter it in any way and claim it for your own or to use it without permission is WRONG!!! Period.! W R O N G
GRRRRRR... The post on the other board read as follows
"LOL sometimes I go to right click a photo and some
websites have pretty witty dialog boxes pop open
"shaming" you for trying to swipe the photos, LOL!!
I still can get them though..... " end quote....
GRRR GRRR GRRRRRRRRR So,,, does this person feel like he/she has accomplished something by being a thief? And to brag about it!!!!!
Yea there are scripts to deter people from stealing, but it is only a determent... We instead still would like to believe in our fellow humans that they will honor us...
I have so many very talented friends who have had to close up shop because of this very problem... what you see on the web is NOT public domain!! Someone worked hard to provide you with the entertainment.
How ignorant this is!!!!
If you can't make it, create it or can't pay to use it, or won't give credit back to the owner/creator then you are nothing more than a thief. Sad to say though, this is indicitave of our moral system these days. So many people have lost their integrity....
