I'm not out to toss labels around such as loser and such. It's just a topic I find interesting and worthy of discussion. I look at it like this. On one side everyone here starts a lynch mob when they find Joe Bob the Noob's stolen content website. Good, Joe Bob needs to learn not to steal so lay into him and hopefully he learns to purchase licensed content for his uses.
On the other side, we have experienced webmasters posting pictures here and on other boards everyday that they may or may not have license to use and they flying sigs that are meant to gain profit.
So the question is, where is the line? Is Joe Bob the Noob the thief and the webmaster in the right as long as they don't put the images on their own website? You have to admit, this seems to be a rather grey area in image theft. I won't even get into the hotlink issue. That's another topic. :D
I'm just playing devlis advodcate here.
