SOPA Bill Author has Copyright Infringement Issues of his Own
Quote:
The controversial SOPA bill is designed to combat online piracy and copyright violations. But now it turns out the bill?s author and main sponsor, Texas Rep. Lamar Smith, has some copyright problems of his own.
DJ Schulte said the photo was listed under Creative Commons and anyone could use it ? provided they gave him due credit. But, according to Schulte, Smith?s campaign made no effort to do so anywhere on his site.
?I do not see anywhere on the screen capture that you have provided that the image was attributed to the source (me),? wrote Schulte on his Flickr page.
?So my conclusion would be that Lamar Smith?s organization did improperly use my image. So according to the SOPA bill, should it pass, maybe I could petition the court to take action against texansforlamarsmith.com.?
