Photo Stealers: A Website Dedicated To Exposing Photography Theft
It’s a shame that the digital age brought with it such widespread copyright infringement and, sometimes, downright theft, but it’s a reality we have to live with. Fortunately, there’s a new website up on Tumblr that is looking to help expose the people who are taking credit for other’s work, and in the process help to cut down on some of the blatant infringement many photographers deal with week in and week out.
As you can see above, sometimes the theft is just plain copy and paste. Photographer Martin Leckie was probably pretty surprised to find that not only his photos, but his exact site design (minus a minor color change) had been copied by the UK’s Coleen Sullivan.
