Only if you're a capitalist.

Never copied a music CD?

Dies this mean somebody can come help themselves to anything they might
fancy from your home without consequence?

That would leave me without that item. Making a copy of something
doesn't remove it from your possession.

That's agiven with posted images - there is at least one copy created on
every computer it passes through or ends up on. The problem folks are
having here is the possible removal of copyright info and subsequent
reposting. Troy24 very well may have reposted them exactly as he found
them, but it does appear somebody had removed copyright info beforehand.

It really is a pride thing for a lot of us photographers; as Maple1
already said, it takes a lot of money to get the equipment and many years
of practice to get as good as some of the posters of original images here
are.

And if I see someone reposting my images, I take pride in knowing
someone appreciates them. I don't stick any copyright notice on them,
people can make use any way they see fit.

Try taking credit for that music CD you copied and see how nicely
the original artists treat you...

Troy never said he took the photos.

Or is it just ~other~ folks
stuff it's okay to take? Are some pigs more equal than others?

The ones with billions of dollars are less equal.

Then we should immediately institute a give-away program to make them
~more~ equal! ;^}

Too right! All hail Stalin!

Or is just okay to enrich oneself by taking from others, but not okay to
earn it?

You get a lot further in life by cheating.
