# Why have they all got (c) Tim Stewart on them?
The Torygraph did this yesterday as well, but they had the good manners to credit the creators and link to their profiles as well as the site.

Also, someone really needs to tell the Fail what a viral is... or are these actually doing the rounds?

The DM doesn't do science or technical terms with any degree of accuracy or credibility*. You could take a dictionary and relabel it "The Daily Mail Book of Things That Cause Cancer".

though they did once print one slagging them off for nicking pics off here.

They don't moderate ALL the comments sections. Normally, it's just those which are liable to generate potentially damaging comments (to avoid libel and stuff, cos technically they are publishing the comments, and thus liable for er... libel)

Just out of curiosity, why do people object to this? Isn't it a good thing to have your stuff appear in the media?

# It's a matter of permission and reward
Did they ask the permissions of the individual artists? Did they even ask rob's permission? Did they offer financial recompense or are they filling their columns with creative works they just lifted for free off the net and then tag it with their own tags/copyrights? Did they even credit the individual artists? (they credited the site, which is a start)

# No, probably not.
But does anyone really expect to get paid for what they do here?

Just my personal opinion of course, but if it was mine, I'd cut it out, stick it on the corkboard in the kitchen and happily tell anyone who was interested that I got my tattyshop in the papers.

(I helped save b3ta! Not Pineapple anymore, Fri 21 May 2010, 9:13, archived)
# Some people make a living doing this
and I'm sure the people in the papers would like to do that too. Not getting paid for publishable-standard work just holds them back from fulfilling that dream, as well as setting a bad precedent.

# I'll stop bickering shortly,
but . . . it's a bit of a stretch to say people make a living posting on B3ta.

If they were lifting them from a site where the work was obviously for sale, then fine - there would be a case. But it's pretty obvious that b3ta isn't like that.

I congratulate all the people who got their stuff in the papers. I'd be very pleased. I wish I had their creativity.

# I think some publications do
It's been an ongoing source of debate with Zoo/Nuts/The Sun also acquiring stuff. While I'd love to have my stuff published (I once got a msg from Nuts about Happy Fett), they do tend to be rather cheeky about it.

# The problem is
it's just laziness on their part.

It would take two seconds to send a message to the contributors, or even just add their names to the article.

It's as if they consider it fair game... "it's just those interweb weirdos, they won't care". It just shows utter contempt for us.
Compare their article to the Torygraph yestefrday (a paper I also detest) and notice the difference in attitude.

There also may be people who don't want their work displayed in the DM, due to the potential conotations of being connected to such a rancid publication.

# Not sure about that.
Articles that quote usernames, rather than names, always look wierd to me.

I'm all for credit where it's due, but the average newspaper reader isn't going to be any better informed when they're made aware that something was done by 'Clive Dunn's right bollock' than they would by getting the boards address.

# it's not about your average reader
it's about that one reader who works in the media and thinks, hey, I'd like to use that image, if only I could contact the copyright owner to pay him for his work and make using his image legitimate. Oh well, no credit means I can't use that image because I'm a law-abiding media worker. Tough luck clever photoshopy person.

Journos take the piss and hide behind their right to use images in news stories, thinking it means they can use anything in any article. It does not.

# blimey
our internet hate machine seems to have worked. A couple of pics have been pulled, and a couple have b3tan names on them now. And b3ta gets a mention, although not credited as the source. It's just the images "have proved to be a hit on b3ta.com".

Of course, now when my comment gets approved, it's going to look stupid as I slag them off for not mentioning b3ta or giving credit.
