Came across these on another forum, super high resolution very worthy of background material. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ro2/sets/72157619965569708/ and I went through and downloaded all of the high resolution pictures and put them in a zip for ya'll: SpiesR1.zip
Considering those are images I put up, under copyright, do you think it's a good idea to come here on the WERA board where I hang out and announce that you've offered them up yourself? -jim
I didn't see the other thread, I simply found the link on another forum. I didn't even know that you hang around these parts, otherwise I certainly wouldn't have posted it. I'll pull the zip.
:crackhead: I wasn't stealing. I made no money off of this, I even linked to the original flickr page. I don't understand why everyone is having an issue with this. I can understand if I was saying this was my own work and didn't give a link to the original page. Its all taken care of anyway.
It's a big deal because it's effectively passing around stolen property. Pictures aren't something that is free to everyone just because they saw it on the internet.
Just curious... but the pics were loaded up on flickr or photobucket, it's not like the guy is keeping them under lock & key. And the original poster never claimed these were pics he took.... I don't get it either, unless these pics were not suppose to be leaked, and now they're being passed around. And not to be a dick, but they're pics of spies bike, not of Megan Fox's juice box..... lets be realistic here Something else, is the flickr account these pics loaded up on public, or a private account somebody hacked into?
Doesn't matter where they're located - they are his property. Copyrights are copyrights - no matter how much you want to ignore it.
I'm having trouble of wrapping my head around stealing something that is available for free, but to each his own I suppose. If the pic are so precious you're worried about somebody "stealing" them, don't post them up or put a water mark on them.
They are available to look at for free, they are not available to do anything else with without the permission of the owner.
there is an option with flickr to not allow downloads or to limit them to friends only. if someone doesn't want their property to be passed around, there are avenues available.
Or people could just not be thieves. Why is this so hard for so many of you to understand? I don't like thieves, I don't condone stealing.
