snappers bitching at tea leafs

OK my first real blog is going to have to be a bit of a rant....

copyright

a very contentious issue, in these days of p2p changing the face (and pockets) of the music machine. I was chatting to a photographer i print for today, about file sharing. His face was gleefull at the ability to get practically any music he wanted for free ... he has an almost evangelical passion for his ipod and all it's 'moody' content

our next topic of conservation? his court case with a canvas art printer who had nicked his work from his flickr profile........

this isnt the first time ive heard about photographers finding canvas printers on ebay ripping off their work for a fistfull of dollars. Agreed, it's a pretty low thing to do and while i won't condone it, it's a bit rich that these digitally savvy photographers can get so high and mighty about their own copyright while listening to the latsest burn from darksideRG .......

ok, ok! i'll post some u tube of a guy hurting himself on a skate board next time....

see you in the next life
