ON THE OTHER HAND...
how quick are we (the dpc community, that is) to react when we find our images elsewhere? from one extreme (for example, finding an image hotlinked to someone's website) to another (for example, discovering an image being used on a billboard in another country) to another (for example, finding an image that has been used/referenced so many times the photog can't even count), we have come to appreciate that it does matter when people don't understand the basic principles of intellectual property rights.
we (this time i mean photographers that care about their property rights) can't have our cake and eat it, too. we have to both assert our rights and respect others.

I wonder if Disney did anything about the kindergarten in Japan a few years ago. Due to parental pressure, the graduating class had not one, but two dozen or so Snow Whites in their graduation performance because the parents (i.e. mothers) didn't want their little girls missing out on the starring role. |

really? you think that is the same thing? I think that's a ball of sanctimonious claptrap. I could be wrong of course. |

well, unless you care to explain yourself better and without using such uncivil language, i will say that you are wrong. what part of my post do you not understand or have a problem with? unless, of course, you do not believe in intellectual property rights...
all i'm saying is that i would find it hypocritical for someone to freak out if they found someone using their image without permission to also be taken aback if another individual or corporation defends their property from infringement.

difference between individual and corporation? I know it is a difference that recent US legislation has apparently denied. |

I'm still not understanding. Related to property ownership, why should it matter if the entity that is protecting their property is a corporation or an individual? If someone or something owns something - be it rights to a movie, a book, a song, or an image - it is their right and responsibility to protect and defend it, as they see fit, within the scope of the law. And again, all I'm saying is that I would find it hypocritical for someone to cry foul to both being infringed upon and to another claiming infringement. |

Why does this make me think of the frog that feels no pain as the water in which he is cooked is heated up ever so slowly? |

Disney is not a person (not anymore). When he was a person, he stole copyrighted material every chance he could get, including a certain mouse.
Disney is now a corporation. We should never talk about protecting the rights of a corporation. You can create whatever sort of marketplace you need to create for them, but they are not people. They do not have rights.
"Corporations are people" is code for "protect the wealth of the wealthy."
This lecture says it all about copyright:

There is no comparison between an artist being acknowledged for his/her work and a megacorporation changing laws to limit what artists can do.

I wasnt even allowed to use Disney characters in a graphic design project for school because if it went in my portfolio it would be rejected. |

Thank you Don. Not all frogs are equal: some really do not notice the heat, while others are onto it right away.
Never underestimate the wealthy. |

Not quite -- the Congress attempted to make the distinction, and the SCOTUS overturned that position (c.f "Citizens United").
"I'll believe a corporation is a person when Texas executes one."
-I believe this was attributed to Prof. Robert Reich (former Secretary of Labor) |
