What\'s really ironic to me is that photographers so vigorously guard their IP rights and are quick to threaten lawsuits for unauthorized use of their images. Yet here in this thread we see another photographer\'s images posted (and I\'m sure they weren\'t authorized)
Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment,
I think this thread would certainly qualify as \"criticism\" or \"comment\" ... I don\'t see anyone here trying to derive commercial gain from a copyrighted image. I bumped it up to Fred to see if he thinks my use was out of line with being good FM\'ers in the proper (and legal) spirit of our impassioned craft/professions and the discussion we hold on his site.
It can be tough to discuss an image without seeing it sometimes. I\'ve no desire to cause Fred any grief nor violate that which we hold dear to our rights ... nor do I desire to trample on someone else\'s.
