I didn’t see “collusion” in any of the charges against him.

Due compensation in the context of using it here? Less than nothing. What was I thinking making an ethics argument against liberals getting free shit? I should've said that just because it has a watermark doesn't give you the right to steal it. A watermark is used as a deterrent with the hope that you won't use it due to the lesser quality and would only demonstrate how cheap and desperate you are. But whatever, I'll agree that the author really isn't losing any money and nobody here is really making any money off it, so the net benefit is free advertising for the author/company. But still, they could make a stink about it if they wanted it to. Besides, these people work hard, throw a couple bones, especially if you're the type of person always bitching about low wages.

Just that people have this stuff sent to them free and then save or re-use it also for free. If compensation was needed they would just use google and search for something free. Artists and creators just can't get paid in the same ways that they used to. But it's not as if "liberals" do it more than others.

It's just that sometimes people don't want to put forth any effort unless you poke their ego a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
