If I wanted my copyrighted photo re-published on this site, I would have done it myself. Me doing it is okay; you doing it is copyright infringement. Including attribution is entirely irrelevant to the matter of infringement, by the way, so don't bother trotting out that tired old excuse. The "we're not hosting it; we just linked to it" excuse doesn't hold water either.

I'm not idiot enough to think a little "c" in a circle and "all rights reserved" is enough to prevent a copyrighted image on the internet from being misappropriated. Nor do I even really mind my photos turning up here and there around the net (I've found quite a few, just as I did this one). But common courtesy would dictate that you either ask permission to use the photo or at the very least tell me you plan to snag it. Take a look here for a sample of what I'm talking about. The guy didn't ask....he just told me. What we're talking about here is the equivalent of a kindergarten teacher taking our kids and putting them in some sort of a pageant and not telling the parents. We don't mind them being in the pageant...we'd just like to know about it so we can go see how they do in it.

I put a lot of time and effort into getting my own photos of life here in Japan. I also get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Perhaps you might derive more satisfaction out of taking and posting photos you took yourself than you would out of using mine. You might even derive enough pride and satisfaction from it to put your real name on the post.

Huh? First of all, did you get permission to take a photo of those girls?
It seems the photo was taken without their permission and I think you yourself are infringing their right to refuse to be photographed.
Even worse if you are uploading their photo on the internet without permission!!!

You are in no position to claim your copyright for your sneak shot gallery on Flickr.
On the contrary, you'd better delete all of those sneak shots!!

[Mike Cash]

I don't believe I was addressing you. I was addressing the other fellow hiding behind a netnym.

You certainly voiced no objections to the photo until the misdeeds of one of your buddies (and probably the majority of the other photo thieves here) was pointed out. Your indignation rings hollow. I also see from the "Tower of Terror" photo that you are actually among the thieves. That photo is also copyrighted. Or did you get permission to re-publish the photo here? How about this set you posted?

I'm finding it very easy to go through your past posts and find all your copyright infringements. Saint Matthew called and left a message for you: "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."

Huh? Are you confusing celebrities and ordinary people?
I am at least quoting photos which are not sneak shots.

You'd better be more careful about those ordinary underage highschool girls photos because those photos can lead to crimes and you could be interrogated by police.

You are demanding chivalrous acts from other people, but the least chivalrous person and the most hypocrite/despicable fellow is you, the sneak shooter of girls.

[Mike Cash]

How horrible of me to do a sneak shot from 3 meters away, right in front of them. You're right; I'm a bastard. And how noble of you to contact the admin (you did contact the admin...didn't you?) to demand that the photo be removed. Or were you too busy downloading the photo to your computer for later "use"?

You're not "quoting" photos; you are "stealing" photos. I took the effort to go check the copyright notification status.

I "demanded" nothing. I requested to at least be notified. When I clearly and openly say that I don't even expect you to ask permission first how on earth can you misconstrue that as "demanding" something? Perhaps your critical reading skills need polishing.....must be an English "teacher".

Why don't you educate yourself with the facts about this subject before giving out advice.

Here's a good place to start:

As my reflection matter,too
at first, it is possible that those school girls are specified by the school uniform.
it cannot say unspecified people.

Not likely. Besides, their skirts and sweaters are different. Plus, they are walking across the street. Read the above links and you will see that there is nothing to be concerned about.

It funny that its o.k. for you guys to link a photo and then get concerned about the legality of how it was taken. The fact is that it is being linked here by someone that didn't take it.

Edit: Quote from the first link:

You can shoot pictures of children; your rights don't change because of their age or where they are, as long as they're visible from a place that's open to the public. (So no sneaking into schools or climbing fences.)
