If you look at this hypothetical case without prejudice, the only difference with your photo appearing on a news site, in someone's post on social media, as a picture on some forum or just being uploaded to image sharing service is for-profit nature of the usage.
- pojzon 6y agoAfter checking the site I can tell it has quite a few tracking cookies enabled - so for sure it is profitting from the illegal content. Ps. This also doesnt cover copyright claims.
- yosito 6y agoNo, this has nothing to do with profit at all.
- furyg3 6y agoNo. Even nonprofits (see Wikipedia) have to follow strict rules about licensing images or face legal consequences. They also do a good job of policing this on-upload, something that a site like Wikifeed does not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_use_policy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_use_policy
- ZoomZoomZoom 6y agoExactly, this is what I'm talking about! To be clear, I'm not saying the case in question is fine. If you condemn usage of your image in porn magazines, you should condemn it in other situations as well, as long as the for-profit nature of the usage is not the only thing that bothers you.
