I still feel a loss. They've stolen my time, my effort and (if it doesn't sound too pretentious) my reputation and have given nothing back. However, I agree that "counterfeiting" is a better analogy. I like that comparison but I wonder if that is more of a help or more of a hinderence when trying to help children learn about this area. I think it may help because they don't see copying digital assets as stealing. Hmm! Further thought required. Thank you for helping to progress my thinking here.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-72490599295513233952008-01-14T23:25:00.000+00:002008-01-14T23:25:00.000+00:00I agree, 'steal' is a poor choice of word. Howeve...I agree, 'steal' is a poor choice of word. However, even when taking without permission, to steal has different connotations when online or digital. If I steal money from you, I gain and you lose. The same isn't necessarily true with digital photos. I would be taking from you, but not taking <I>away</I> from you. I'm sure if someone had taken you original and only copy of networking material to sell to schools, you would have been even more annoyed! Perhaps it's more like counterfeiting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-66531815334417522842008-01-12T20:20:00.000+00:002008-01-12T20:20:00.000+00:00David,In answer to your question on my blog, I hav...David,<BR/><BR/>In answer to your question on my blog, I haven't come across anyone else doing what Theo spoke about, apart from the approach taken by John Johnston himself. But - I would be very interested in finding others who are trying to do something in this area.<BR/><BR/>JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-61013993520189379992008-01-10T18:24:00.000+00:002008-01-10T18:24:00.000+00:00Hi, David. Bill, here from the Photo Share Podcast...Hi, David. Bill, here from the Photo Share Podcast.<BR/><BR/>This issue, I think, is going to be an ongoing one for our podcast. I think it's very important as more and more content is moved to the internet, and as media companies layoff more and more employees, replacing them with "user generated content".<BR/><BR/>Thanks for highlighting your post about creative commons. We're going to be talking about CC in the weeks ahead, and I'm sure I'll use your post as a resource.<BR/><BR/>Finally, thanks for listening to the <A HREF="http://www.photosharepodcast.com" REL="nofollow">Photo Share Podcast</A>. Drop us a line with any questions, requests, or suggestions.Bill Weyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17721312133664660845noreply@blogger.com
