We need more than a kid friendly site we need a scare the hell out of them site-I have given up photographing seniors-they have copy parties-I tried texture-they still copy. One had nerve to say O she didnt need to order any blcak and white-she could do on her computer at work!!They dont even know it is theft!! BB
I agree! I'm a part-time photographer and also work with copyright permissions in my full time job. I'm constantly working with my kids about copying images off the internet and music, etc... They have projects at school where they make notebook covers and I don't think their teachers talk about copyright! It makes me crazy!
As I always tell my kids, just because it's so easy to copy and technologically possible, doesn't mean it's legal!!
Ugh!
