It finally came to light when he posted one that he had stolen from another member and posted on another site. Posting a photo that is not your own and not giving credit to the photographer is theft. And even posting a photo and giving credit to the photographer is not right because you are still taking away access to his site that may rely on hits to get revenue and possibly sales of his work. They is why we ask people to only give a link to a photo that is not yours. Some people use their photography to make a living. I did in the past and many of our members do now. Forget about the law (not really) it is just the right thing to do.</blockquote>
