Friday’s lesson
Today’s lesson is about responsibility and integrity, not to mention common-sense. If you’re going to steal an image, you probably won’t be caught. Unless you’re stupid enough to hotlink the image from your victim’s site, then you probably will get caught. And since your theft was so blatant, poorly planned and incompetently executed, if your intended victim substitutes the image with something that might embarrass you in front of your little friends, smile and say ‘thank you sir may I have another.’ Learn your lesson, take your medicine, whatever. Just don’t come ’round these parts any more.
To this has been brought to you by the letters, j, p and g, and a corporate sponsorship from the Caffeination Assistance Institute – caffeinated lawyers are 20% less cranky than lawyers reading site stats before their coffee is ready.
Happens to me all the time.
Not so often that I get used to it, nor often enough that I can say I’m used to it. Mostly I’m still amazed by what images get grabbed, especially from here.
