To LA Times: Do You Have to Suck the Sweat out of my Balls now that I am Dead?

It's not theft, it's copyright infringement.

Kidding, kidding. But it's amazing how quickly people rediscover the value of copyrights when they're copyrights that you personally wouldn't violate, right?

Anyhow, journalists have a two-tiered ethical system with regards to plagiarism. There's Journalists -- you cannot plagiarize from Journalists. To do so is instantaneous career suicide. There will be no appeal and you will never work in the industry again. Then there's Sources -- you cannot plagiarize from sources, either. If you reprint their stuff verbatim, that's just Good Journalism. (TM)

Photographers thought they were Journalists. They were always Sources. For a little while, they were Sources that uniquely possessed something Journalists would pay money for.

This offensive and disgusting headline distracts from the message.

For God sakes, grow up.

Honest question. If SOPA were to pass, could a photographer get a site like the LA Times blocked or whatever for using their picture without permission?

This submitted title is too low and childish. Please change it. I've flagged this story.

That dress is atrocious
