So I am on a "pinning" binge on some tumblr blogs and I feel bad. This whole reblog thing really brings to light the disposability of the creator in these work. What has happened to attribution?
I know http://www.curatorscode.org/ exists but tools need to be integrated into the net to allow an uploaded image to be tracked to its original creator.
I believe people have the right to share cool things they find but I do believe the creator should get some acknowledgment.
Imgur is the worst of this. User are even stripping the connection link to the original source.
We should really evolve our sharing. People are talented and they should be congratulated on that fact not forgotten.
