A)It's really hard to keep track on everything and always being careful to take note on who either took or posted a photo.
B)Only the photographer has the absolute right to post a photo. But are we gonna respect that? How silly would that be?? How many of the beautiful photos we know would have been unavailable for us? Photographers not always share, and never come to solo. I doubt Jake will create an account to share the never-seen ones... But he can if he wants.
C)People on the WWW lie. Some time ago you were able to find a good number of gifs made by a certain person (on another forum) and you could have easily posted them elsewhere crediting her. And those gifs were mine. Now, you did your job and credited, but based on a lie. I still find gifs I made being credited to her. So what makes you think that the place where you find a photo is the photo owner's place?
D)I use videos from youtube mostly to make gifs. When I know who posted them (I'm paying more attention now) I thank. But I have to thank for UPLOADING, because you don't always know who shot them.
E)I use photos that don't belong to me for my photoshops. I'd go crazy crediting a world of people. For example, thanks to Martha Stewart for providing her body for the Milk Ad I made, or Peter Lorre for the one with all the fingers pointing at Moz. So I'm sorry, but no. We can only do our best.
F)There's nothing wrong with posting to say "that photo is mine, glad you liked it".
GPags, your siggy is wonderful
HLong live Morrissey.
I)Sorry to bore you, and bye.
