I know that it is illegal to download stuff such as songs and movies off the internet, but assuming we are grabbing a picture.
Some photographer went all the way up a hill carrying all his heavy gears while climbing in the dark, finally he got a few perfect shots and shares it to the world, since he is already sharing, is it illegal if I download it?
I believe it is ok if its for personal viewing or just downloading them and showing to friends and family without telling where you get it from.
What about grabbing it and placing it into your own blog? Well, he is 'sharing' it with the whole world, and he already watermarked the photo, I wonder, is it alright for us to not quote or give credit to him, since the photo is already watermarked by him.
Though it is unethical, but we have seen and perhaps done it so many times. Is it really ok if we publish without consent but we give credit and link back to the source? What is the laws take on this? (assuming the author never say yes/no)
