It's "just" a blog!" - and in the day of GoogleAd checks one wonders how they can say that with a straiht face. ;) One of these days I want to see an image case specifically reach the courts - when it comes to images it seems people just want to claim fair use day in and day out and unless we see someone nailed for it, telling them it ain't fair use is just theory.

Strange, but lots of photographers don't know at all what intellectual property is and that they are concerned. By the way, my office is just 5 minutes of the WIPO (World Intelectual Property Organisation) building. Here the link for those interested : http://www.wipo.int/portal/index.html.en Lots of very interesting information on that site.
