Why is it that posting a photo that you do not own is frowned upon in the forums, but some people use photos that they obviously did not take as their avatars and no one seems to mind . . . explain the difference? If you don't know what I am talking about, just pay closer attention to some people's avatars . . . movie stars, rock stars, comedians, talk show hosts, etc. photos being used . . . |

I shot mine - unfortunately, it doesn't exist any more. The real reason has to do with unauthorized use of copyrighted material. --------------------------- Comments and critique always sought web: http://www.DeccaPhotography.com blog: http://www.DeccaPhotography.com/blog |

avatars are impossible to police... the only way to police it is to not allow them at all. ps. i shot mine. --------------------------- Abel Longoria Check out the NEW Pixtus Photography Cheat Sheet! Support Pixtus by Purchasing Your Gear From: B&H Photo | Amazon | Adorama |

42 LMAO Thats funny! Brad shot all of mine since at least Xmas last year :) And I think most people at least on here, use pics they shot or had friends shoot. I know on the forum my husband is on (for PS3) uses lots of images from games. Maybe people don't get much upset about it, cuz its more to show personality, or something there fans of????? Or do they get upset and this is just the first I'm seeing of it??? |
