I'll BET you will!

I'm with the 'Stealing (yes stealing!) other people's pics is morally, ethically and legally wrong' crew. I'm surprised you defend theft so vehemently! :rolleyes:

The logic of equating copying to stealing is ridiculous.

The success of Microsoft software was based on the FACT that software could be copied easily legally & illegally around the world, making it indispensable & the standard.

The same applies to the internet.

Two things that you should read:

and

A copyright consists of a bundle of exclusive rights conferred by a government on the creator of original literary or artistic works such as books, articles, drawings, photographs, musical compositions, recordings, films, and computer programs. International in scope, copyright grants the creator reproduction, derivation, distribution, performance, and display rights. The Berne Convention mandates that the period of copyright protection cover the life of the author plus 50 years.

And of course, you don't look at other people's source code & "interpret" your own way, do you ??

GOTCHA !! :T

No, I most certainly do not.

See, some freelance web developers still carry traditional ethics. Anything I write is written from scratch and not based on anyone else's work.

I'd appreciate it if you'd refrain from accusing me of such things.

Thank you.

Ebay disagree, which is why they will remove auctions that have copied pictures on them.

No-one should be mocked for protecting their own rights, no matter how trivial YOU think it is.

Well said. Cant believe anyone is condoning theft....however trivial!

You cannot learn anything seriously technical without seeing how other people
have done it
-reading a book or studying a course.

So when you visit a web page, you don't ever look at the source code, you know

-the View Source option

in top left corner ??

There's nothing wrong with looking, you might learn something.

Peter999, I'm not sure whether you really are as morally reprehensible as you portray yourself, or whether you are on a trolling mission - either way, I recommend that people ignore your further posts (which I don't doubt you will make) on this subject. :rolleyes:

Nobody has said anything, other than copy/paste a picture on an ebay listing is NOT the end of the world.
I have not extrapolated to a doomsday scenario.

I would read the thread again.

Likewise, there is nothing wrong with looking at others' photos for inspiration. That's quite different from copying.
