Oh! Sorry, I didn't know it was copyrighted. So if a newspaper comes
out in the evening, and a story was reported in a different paper
earlier that afternoon, that evening paper now has to cite the
afternoon paper? The guy who posted DIDN'T take the images.

Far be it from me to defend RichA, but he didn't say that he took the
pictures...he just posted a link, and commented on how crappy it was.

Rander pretty much lifted his comment from a thread on dpreview. Seehttp://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1000&message=26947193

It's not the first time he's taken something from a DPR forum and
reposted it to Usenet without attribution.

I don't see any copyright on the forum posts so who cares?

You know less about copyright than you do about photography. It's a
common misconception that something must have a copyright notice in
order to be protected by copyright.

Regardless, dpreview specifially stated forum posts are owned by and
the opinion of the poster. I suspect this was done to reduce its
liability than to protect the rights of the forum posters; however, it
explicitly assigns ownership.

http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/rules.asp?forum=1000

Legal ownership - Each message posted is owned by and the
opinion of the original poster. Neither dpreview.com nor its
owners or webmaster are legally responsible for anything posted
on these forums. The webmaster reserves the right to remove
any or all of your messages at any time and ban you if he sees fit.

Even if copyright didn't apply, you shouldn't repost someone else's
articles in a way that makes it look like your own. It's dishonest,
deceitful, and disingenuous. It reduces your already low credibility,
and calls to question anything you post.

Again, as a side issue, who cares about the supposed "ownership"
conferred by Dpreview? But the only people who could construe that it
was mine are those too STUPID to realize it didn't originate in this
forum from me. You see, this is why they put things like "do not take
internally" on bottles of drain cleaner, because the average adult is
pathetically stupid, lazy and brainless.
