Theft in the Digital Age
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 05:08 PM
"I have a LOT on my mind right now...to be honest, I've rarely been so royally pissed off as i am today. The photos shown above all have one thing in common (besides being rather lovely landscape photos): they were all taken, without my permission, by the London based print-selling company Only-Dreemin. This company prides itself on offering its customers only the best quality canvas prints of the finest photos, by top artists. What they fail to mention is that some of the photos they're selling prints of have been illegally obtained, and are being sold without the artists consent or knowledge."
If you've never seen Rebekka's photography, you're missing out: her landscapes are superb. She made a Flickr post that caught my attention today: basically, a company has taken her images off Flickr and is doing large format re-prints of them for a premium price, and Rebekka is receiving nothing from this. It's theft, pure and simple.
