@jmonkatthestate This is such a huge issue for photographers and it has run many of us out of the profession. It would make a good story in a newspaper, but not very many people are talking about it, because stealing photography is so ingrained in the populace.

@jmonkatthestate This is copyright infringement, aka, theft. Crediting the source, while good for journalism, does nothing to absolve an entity of theft. Social media gave everyone the tools to publish other people's work, but it didn't come with a class on visual literacy or ethics.
