Do you endorse the view of Sonia Zjawinski that it is perfectly acceptable to steal copyrighted images from the Internet? Do you think it's a good idea for The New York Times to seemingly endorse such views by publishing them? Or do you think it is as disgusting and outrageous as I do?<br />— Rod Irvine</b><br /><br /><i>A. I have received a number of queries about Ms. Zjawinski's recent post on Gadgetwise, a New York Times blog about personal technology, in which she discussed downloading and printing Flickr images for use as home décor. Here is where The Times stands on the issues that have been raised about the post:<br /><br />We are strong proponents of copyright protection. The New York Times does not endorse, nor is it our policy to engage in, the infringement of copyrighted work. We apologize for any suggestion to the contrary.</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/22/business/media/22askthetimes.html?pagewanted=11&_r=1&sq=Sonia%20Zjawinski&st=cse&scp=4" rel="nofollow">link</a>James Broomehttp://www.jamesbroome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-85951597029822794772009-06-27T12:48:19.653-04:002009-06-27T12:48:19.653-04:00John,

I see a large contributing factor to the demise of news papers and news magazines is the fact that a lot of what they print is as well researched as most of the free blogs on the internet.<br /><br />Even worse, quite often I have now discovered that they simply pick up and re-print a lot of the miss information found in peoples blogs. Often simply reflecting someone's opinion rather than cold hard facts.<br /><br />News papers and magazines are dead! And the journalists at least partially can only blame them selves.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05138279167272033668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-16261730314541337642009-06-26T22:53:32.055-04:002009-06-26T22:53:32.055-04:00I suppose we should take this as a warning.

There is a profound level of ignorance regarding copyright violation, even from people who have material worth protecting.<br /><br />Blogger Thomas Hawk wrote about this topic and essentially told people to let it go. While I think it's fine if Thomas chooses to allow free use of his photos, it's done so with his consent. Those of us who would prefer some request or acknowledgment of our images may feel differently.William Beemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024899932071631241noreply@blogger.com
