How do you know it was taken without permission? Are you the artist?
- wanderingjew 10y agoAuthor of the Hackaday post. I would know if this were taken with permission. The artist (joe kim) can be found here: http://theartofjoekim.tumblr.com/ http://theartofjoekim.tumblr.com/ In case anyone's wondering, we (hackaday) probably would have allowed the author to use this art, provided we get a link back to the post or some credit to Joe. In the absence of that, we're just going to point and laugh at this guy for clearly demonstrating he doesn't understand copyright.
- rfrey 10y agoThese moments only happen a couple times a year on HN, but they're worth the wait.
- carussell 10y agoPlease add a byline to Hackaday header images, or a rider to the article along the lines of "'Vishnu Stallman' by Hackaday artist Joe Kim". The first thing I did when clicking through to the linked article is to do a reverse image search that dead ended at Hackaday and walked away disappointed, not knowing that it was original content.
- Chinjut 10y agoIt's not clear that conclusion follows. Perhaps he understands copyright but chooses not to respect it?
- jcora 10y agoNah I was just stupid. Corrected now.
- jcora 10y agoHi, I'm the author of this, and I'm very sorry, I honestly just wanted a nice pic of Stallman and found it through Google without thinking much. I've added the credits at the end of the article now, both to Hackaday and Joe with links, please check if it's correct. If you want I'll remove the image, no problem! Also, this article isn't about copyright law, it's about politics.
