<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 201411, member: 56&quot;]I download photos regularly.&nbsp; There&#039;s a lot of things I can&#039;t afford for which a good photo will suffice.&nbsp; There&#039;s a lot of images I just happen to like.&nbsp; And I like to take photos (anyone&#039;s) and edit them to my own satisfaction, sometimes incorporating them into entirely new images.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see much harm in it unless the person downloading intends to take credit for the photo and use it for profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only time that happened to me, it wasn&#039;t a photo that was stolen, but a description.&nbsp; And I confess I was severely pi**ed off.</p><p><br /></p><p>It may be that photos of mine have been stolen for someone else&#039;s profit, but the web is so huge it is unlikely I&#039;ll ever know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Come to think of it, there was an instance where an image of mine was incorporated into a prize-winning art installation.&nbsp; I was credited as &quot;photographer unknown&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
