Comments on: THE WEEK THAT WAS: JULY 6-12 http://www.paulickreport.com/blog/the-week-that-was-july-6-12/ An independent voice for news, analysis and commentary on the Thoroughbred racing and breeding industry Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:15:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Teresa http://www.paulickreport.com/blog/the-week-that-was-july-6-12/comment-page-1/#comment-953 Teresa Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:49:28 +0000 http://www.paulickreport.com/?p=129#comment-953 I'm with Dana on this one, both as a blogger and as an academic. It is indeed the norm on the Internet for content, whether visual or verbal, to be distributed without giving credit to its creator or originator, and it violates the ethics of any number of fields: journalism, academia, etc. Like Dana, I have found that even those people who don't expressly provide their photos for free often give me permission when I ask for it. It's not, I know, always possible to get that permission, but in those cases, it's easy enough to credit the original source. I’m with Dana on this one, both as a blogger and as an academic.

I use photos on my blog all time with appropriate credit and am truly thankful that people generously make their work available for free. I'd hate to see that ruined for everyone because a few (high profile!) folks can't give credit where credit is due. Just because Drudge does it doesn’t make it ok.

Priceline would pay a site like Ray's to have their image up. Do you think Coca-Cola would get upset if someone gave them free publicity? That's absurd. Also, clearly he is utilizing a Drudge type format. Please tell me when Drudge has credited the numerous photos he uses on his site. Looking back at your comments, they all seem to be negative. Seems like you have a grudge against Ray. Wonder why... I’m sorry, but you are completely off base Everglades. Priceline would pay a site like Ray’s to have their image up.

I see you're still posting photos obviously ripped off from other sources since you don't give credit as the legitimate sources do. Why don't you just hotlink them? The Priceline image theft was "priceless". You are truly a hypocrite. You didn’t mention that you received a mention on Indian Charlie’s newsletter!
