What's annoying you today? V4
(03 Feb 2017, 8:18 pm)Adrian We quite often have posts on here about the theft of photos, or the re-use of other people's photos, without crediting the source/owner of the work. Rightfully so. People are kind enough to share their great photos with us, and the least we can do is give them credit or provide a link back to their portfolio/website. I understand that with some historic photographs, it can become blurred who to credit or whatnot, but most people are thankfully decent enough to credit people with a reasonable claim to the work.
So with all that being said, why aren't we as passionate the same scenario, but with information rather than photos? If I were to share information from the BBC News website, I may paste an extract from it within a quote on my post, but I'd always provide a full link to the article. It seems reasonable and the right thing to do, as a journalist has had to work to provide that information.
Is it seen as a lesser issue because of the perceived effort required to provide the content?
