I'm not sure how I happened upon this, so I apologise if someone has posted elsewhere: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/04/29 ... _landgrab/Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act How the ... did that happen? _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

I don't think it's been posted hereabouts yet, but it's been all over Google+. I think we're all too stunned to say anything, frankly.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

Been all over Fb too.
Gotta gather my thoughts before I air them.
I've still got things to say about when Instagram went a bit mental with it's rights handling before it did a u-turn.
Might wait for the dust to settle a bit first.

Who benefits most?
The photographer?
Corporations?
The Copyright office (government) through registrations fees?

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I'm not a photographer. But this wound me up more than the police/photographer/terrorist thing.
How do you identify what's yours? Metadata can help unless it gets stripped out (easy to do). Watermarking isn't something that's widely done or available, especially on apps.
I was sorely tempted to take a pic of one of David Cameron's kids then plaster it everywhere as an endorsement of a product. Could then say I found it on the net, it didn't have any identifiable data, I tried to do a reverse image search, made reasonable attempts and decided I'd use it. That's the kind of thing it would take.

I suspect you're not the only person thinking of something along those lines.
