[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 501712, member: 27017"] Today, while browsing a semi-local photo web site, I saw some interesting images posted. What caught my attention was that a photo was supposed to have been taken in Sep. in an area that averages that time of year of probably 90-100° F The image was hills covered in snow. Snow covered in 90+° F temps. Ya right. Then I noticed that the photo was copyrighted. Upon further investigation, all photos posted by the individual were copyrighted by different people (clearly noted on the photo). I notified the site and all photos were removed until a more thorough investigation was completed. Why would someone post photos as their own AND leave a copyright notice in the photo? I would like to think that they did not understand that the site is for photos that you as an individual take and not just a place to post neat pictures. :rolleyes: This site is also for posting photos of the area and some that the individual posted were from other continents. :rolleyes: Maybe he/she needs a new "Flash Attachment". LOL I'm still scratching my head in puzzlement. :confused: :confused: [/QUOTE]
