If not, you should school them.<br /><br />And, you spell <b>plagiarism</b> just fine.Albatrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02156254141379602471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10869513.post-6906199034684360692009-07-06T10:43:46.480-05:002009-07-06T10:43:46.480-05:00Glad you liked that, Matthew.

School them, come off as reasonable, big pile of beer. <br /><br />Dave--bloggers can often claim to be reporters and as such the casual use of images that aren't theirs is OK. AdSense pays so little that nobody in their right mind would call most blogs a commercial enterprise. <br />But what happened to me is all-too-common, and a classic case of actionable copyright violation. <br />The other type of case sometimes seen is where someone pretends a photo is theirs for whatever reason, and is more along the lines of mental illness rather than ignorance or theft.

I visit several blogs where people simply use Google to pull down images from wherever to illustrate their comments. Some will link to the picture which, at least gives credit to the source, but I'm sure others are just unaware of the rules. <br /><br />I would certainly let the Real Estate folks know. It is one thing for some average Joe not being wise to it, but for a commercial entity? Maybe they will make nice with a weekend in Corpus with one of their properties.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309270376394371120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10869513.post-89777214239840855972009-07-06T08:00:27.459-05:002009-07-06T08:00:27.459-05:00"sleuthing (that's french for Google)&quo..."sleuthing (that's french for Google)"<br /><br />That sucks, and hopefully everyone will do the right thing, but that line made my morning.
