I'm afraid I disagree. The photo was that of a typed setlist which was publicly distributed without charge and little else (a thumb), it did not show a person, copyrighted image, brand or trademark. The person posted this picture on a publicly accessible website in the public domain without a watermark and without a disclaimer to inform that these images were private property and could not be reproduced in anyway without written permission. I did not change, save or upload the image from my own personal hard drive and that in fact the photo was linked to a page that should someone wish to source the image would lead them to the original posting. It is like saying a hyperlink has a copyright. It does not.
If I should use the image to be reproduced elsewhere and take credit for that image then you would be correct.
This whole credit should be given started by the frink harridans of yore. If we take it to it's logical conclusion, (one user went back to edit her post for fear of being called out on this), should we credit all our avatars? Youtube links? Should CB credit the person who made every gif he uses, should that credit extend to the copyright holder of the source material, including cameraman and year? This crediting people is at a maddening level by a few anally retentive people and I didn't appreciate the smug, matronly tone that was extended to me.
An interesting view on crediting. Does the term 'giving credit where credit is due' need to be changed with this new age of media?
With all the info on the site coming from all directions I sometimes struggle with it. I personally give credit if I know where it is from and if I saw it from another site, I'll say something like 'via this other site'. I don't think of it as a copyright issue so much as an etiquette issue. If someone saw or took something from this site I think a mention / link would be nice and likewise if I see something I like to see the source properly credited.
For an avatar or animated gif in a discussion forum I feel it is not as important to credit as an informative bit of info such as a set list or photo.

That photo has been circulating for the past few years. Notice that it is actually in a Borders Bookstore which, as some of you may know, went out of business several months ago. All stores were closed worldwide. Therefore, it is obvious that this photo was not taken recently let alone in Japan.

That's the common misconception. The reality is that unless a work creator distributes his/her work through a Web site *with* a statement that the work is being licensed under a share-and-share alike (or similar) GNU license, the work (which in this case includes a picture of someone's thumbnail) is automatically copyrighted by and for the creator. Publishing an image on a Web site does not inherently reduce or eliminate the copyrights of the creator. If that was the case, then all the music that's ever been distributed across the Web would automatically eliminate the actual rightholders' [BMI/ASCAP/etc] rights. An image doesn't need a brand, watermark, or trademark either.
Hyperlinks are not the same as images.
The image of the setlist (which was made unique by the person's thumbnail) was very likely *not* distributed to the show's audience. Some members of the audience were given or took a physical copy of the various setlists. The information those setlists contained is not really protect-able because anyone could claim to just have written down the song sequence. But at issue isn't the attribution of the information--but the photo itself.
fwiw

It's just a nice picture. Take it easy.
Wait. This is photoshopped, right? Clearly I am confused.

Thanks David.
I have a vague recollection that this was once used as a pre-show video. Or am I making that up?
Lol! Is that a photoshopped David? I don't even know what he looks like.
Well anyway, Moz should go get some Japanese snacks. While looking that cute.
When he introduced the band, he described them as Sexy Zone which is a name of a Japanese Boy band.
