[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 654263, member: 11881"] It's all good discussing this, we're all in a friendly environment. I do agree, on it's face (pun intended) this is all funny until I did some research. I was able to trace back the credit on the photos. It is a real person with a real photography business. Since this has all happened she and her business has been trashed on social media. Social media can make or break you. I have a large following due to my photography and it generates a lot of business for me from my work being seen. Now imagine, someone takes one of my photos and butchers it like this family did and puts it out there as MY work. The same way business is generated from my work on social media is the same way it could all dry up and my reputation destroyed. The photographer is having to make efforts to try and put out this viral spreading of "her" work. Lost business hours, damage to her reputation as a photographer, and lost work would all be things I can see her going after because it is her livelihood from what I could tell. For the sake of argument, lets say you were a dawg groomer, and at home I butchered your work because I thought it needed improvement and shared the terrible results as yours. The dog might look funny, but when no one is calling your grooming service anymore because of "your" terrible work you deserve restitution because my lie took money out of your pocket. [/QUOTE]
