Moochin Photoman
Infringement
I was pleasantly surprised to see a new stall down at St Georges selling photographs. Recognising one of the photos from flickr i enquired and was told that the fella was indeed on flickr.
He told me that MOST were his and that a few were downloaded off the net.
This annoyed me and i told him it was copyrighted work and that he no right to do that. I asked him how he would feel about someone else downloading his work and selling it on without giving any money to him.
Smilingly he told me that it would be great to see it being sold. He also tried to justify it by saying thats why you only put up small images unto the net.
Now as someone who had a stall on Royal avenue for a good few years i admire the fellas get up and go to sell his work.
However by selling work that, by his own admission, isn't his and is downloaded from the net, he undermines any credibility he might have thought he was gaining.
This is wrong and essentially is theft .
