How does the first step work, legally? What does it mean to 'vacuum up' (web scrape?) images and claim ownership... I mean, is this a fundamentally false precedent that you are describing, or is there some legal basis for 'claiming' images that you (meaning, a business) previously have no connection to, but simply want to 'own'?

- marzell 7y agoThat's what I mean.. if it's in public domain doesn't that mean it is free for anyone to use? How does someone legally then claim ownership? Or are they just 'claiming' without any truthful ownership? So then if they make a DMCA request on it or something, companies will comply by default to be on the safe side?
