# Theiving Twunts
who's image is it anyway?

I know we take images from the interweb but we tend to do stuff with them like shoppery and mashing etc. but simply to take someone else's work and copyright it to their own website is soooooo wrong!

'Just to let you know, I think www.b3ta.com are stealing the images from your hardworking staff.

I think you should do an expose on these thieves and hackers, stealing our identities.

That way the next time they do nick one of mine they're really in the shit.
Unfortunatelys the site isnonprofit so they can't use these images but I think they're in trouble claiming it as their own.
They're actually very good at paying up if one appears in the newspaper itself. Althought it still is an 'if you can't us we'll pay' not the legally required 'seen to be trying to contact the creator'.

Recently a person I know was billed by Getty for using three 1-inch images in a photomontage the images had already been heavily montaged and cropped for £800 each image and also to remove the montage from their website - they are currently negotiating a fair price.

that's crazy! you'll spend most of your free time running around like a headless chicken, trying to do all those little last-minute christmassy things before you go back to work! unless you're going away for a week, that is.

# That really does take the fucking piss.
The things posted here on b3ta are for the public domain, so for it to be released elsewhere isn't technically wrong (after all, these are Internets) but to copyright an image that isn't theirs, without gaining the artist's permission is outright stealing. And let's face it, the cunts at the Sun aren't exactly doing it to make the world a happier place - they're boosting their image and profiting from the resulting higher sales (probably amongst several other money-making methods).

That really does take the piss and if I were the artist I would be seriously having some harsh words and demanding payment along with a written apology. I can't remember who made the image, but I hope they're calling up the Sun and raising merry fucking hell - I would be.

Rant over (for now).

# Wankers
My hate for the Sun reaches new hieghts. They ran an article on urban exploration the other day, one of the things I do, and made it look like all Urbexers are hoodie wearing hooligans breaking into building sites and taking photos to gain some sort of social respect. Which we are not
Actually I'd make an exception in the case of the Suns offices.

Sorry for plugging my own site there, but the Sun has given me web-rage.
