Copyright and Cooks Source

There's no telling how many times growing up as a kid even until now, that I simply pulled up Google.com and copied then pasted pictures for my personal use on PowerPoint’s and presentations in general. Not to mention, I never cited the resources until about high school, but even then a lot of work slides by without getting properly cited. Sure, in school it may not be a big deal, unless it’s something like plagiarism. But regardless, the consequences in school aren’t near as bad as the stir of negative attention Cooke Source got into. A blogger posted a story about how Cooke Source used a copy of a picture she used in a previous story for their magazine article. They did identify her for their publish but did not notify her of the publishing of her picture in their magazine. You could see why there would be a stir. But how much can really be said. The internet is an open resource to virtually anything and with proper citing; it is okay in most circumstances to publish them in a viewing intent. But I believe you should have to notify and get permission, especially in a profit intent purpose. However, there doesn't seem to be a fine line to where it is okay or not to notify. While some do, think about how many more don't. Perhaps think about how many people use it in PowerPoint’s and other educational purposes. Or maybe it was used in the huge business presentation in a multi-billion dollar deal. Either way, it happens daily and not too much is always said. To some, it’s a not that big of a deal, then of course there's the ones that do think it's a huge deal. I mean, perhaps it was a huge piece of the appeal that sealed that deal in the multi-billion presentation. Shouldn't you get credit for that?
