I have a big request for everyone on #Mastodon who publishes #photos from the internet - tag the authors!

If the #photo is not signed, use a search engine to find the author. This is the minimum respect you should show photographers when publishing their work.

I'd appreciate boost to spread the word. Thanks!

@TomaszSusul At the very least I link back to the source.

Yes, receiving consent would be better.

But the WWW was built on the premise of not having to receive permissions before setting a link.

Plus, there are exempts for quoting arts of others (requires some level of commentary).
