The © Symbol Woes?

It's obvious you didn't mean to infringe (c), but equally obvious that you did, by publishing the same form of words on this forum. Giving the original author(s) credit is mitigation, perhaps, but doesn't alter the basic fact of infringement.

The Internet makes this kind of inadvertent transgression all too easy -- and context is everything. Infringing copyright, whether of text or photos, used to be a much more premeditated thing, relatively hard to do accidentally. But as you've just shown, it's much easier to slip up now. There is amusement to be had, as you recognise, from the nice irony involved.

And the inclusion of 5 share buttons next to the article, not only implies, but encourages the reader to share his work.
Totally different from an image taken from, say, google and used as the person see's fit with no credit or mention of the owner/photographer.
One day you'll find, 10yrs have got behind you.

That was an interesting point regarding "Jolly Rodger" software. One of the excuses I've heard is, "Well they haven't lost a customer because I couldn't afford to buy it any way and I don't use it professionally". So if the photographer achieves a little fame and gets asked "How I did it" it could lead to an embarrassing situation

I love the irony of this, you where meaning to be ironic where you? You do realise you used one of the excuses given in that list lol... The same excuse where you give the photographer a credit

The share button is to give the link to Facebook users not give you permission to reprint the whole thing lol...

You've all missed the point that the article linked to was already basically copied from elsewhere!

I knew that, the guy at the guardian said he had his permission to reprint at the guardian, which shows just how easy it is for work to get lost and even to become an orphan...
