Again, this. When you publish work on the Internet, others can link and use it, no problem. For best results, have clear attribution (which they clearly show the link).
I think people are too quick to anger here. This guy was already providing all this information and content. Looking at the site, I don't see advertising, so it's not like Apple is going around that.
This guy is happy and with a quick addition of a JGuitar logo or copyright (if he wants) on those images then everyone is happy.
- gonmf 8y agoIn this case the author is happy, but the point stands that he wasn't asked. And most people would be angry at receiving no attribution or warning.
- piyush_soni 8y agoOh no. Whenever a corporate is trying to make 'bulk requests' to your website, primarily so that the users don't have to visit your site, it totally warrants for at least a permission (separate licensing, to be more fair). It's called freeloading otherwise.
- briandear 8y agoIs a “corporation” making bulk requests? Or are users of shortcuts making requests?
- piyush_soni 8y agoThe corporation is allowing it to happen. Users won't do it otherwise.
- masswerk 8y agoHm – Linking is one thing, displaying another one. Notably, we had (I don't know about all countries) rulings regarding displaying 3rd party content in frames, and then there's the EU copyright legislation, currently discussed. It's not the author's obligation to embed copyright and source information in any resource. This is not how it works.
- dwild 8y agoAre you sure you don't have an adblocker? There's ad over JGuitar, 2 of them actually. I hope he didn't have to add theses ads because of the increase of request.
