Okay okay, I'll take my own photos - of others work! You see what I did there? MY OWN PHOTOS!

If DPR banned comments then people like me would just spew in the forums even more than we already do.

You mean the scam artist who sells amateur snapshots for millions of dollars?

It's not a bright sky at all it's sunset there's barely any light left, and these can't be at the top of a jump because their launch point is completely out of the frame so it must have come from...

I can't believe DPR actually fell for this cheap photoshop job. It's impossible for those people and their reflections to not be composited into the image after the fact. People don't just float in...

Correct. The only exception I would consider is stole or gained impermissible access to REAL property in order to gain the intellectual property. So if I hacked into your computer and stole your...

How did this photo win any challenge at all, let alone best picture of the week? It's the most boring image ever, no color or subject or anything, just a bunch of blur and grain.

For low light of course?

Why isn't this constant f/2.8 and $200?

Wow, conspiracy theory much? Let the wild speculation and personal attacks begin because you can't refute my argument, amirite?

no u What they create is a data file with color information. They have a right to that file and the information contained within it. What they don't have a right to is an idea that cannot be...

Every work is a derivative work. You derived all of your work from others' work that you saw, even if you didn't copy it directly.

Gotta love the IP police accusing everyone of stealing something with a value of $0.

Is this figure of 20-30% figure something just a guess? Or is it written down somewhere? There is no way to objectively quantify the degree of visible change from one image to another that cannot...

Let's simplify this into a syllogism: Laws are supposed to be based on morality or logic. Some laws are not based on morality or logic. Therefore disagreeing with these laws is a complete waste of...

if the alternatives being "unlikely", in terms of theoretical probability, was enough to constitute proof, I could prove God doesn't exist, among other things. But obviously that's not the case....
