Ok troll. this is getting old.

I've posted a source for the image, and claim no ownership of it.

You can link things about copyright all you want. This particular image is widely dispensed throughout the internet, with 22,000,000 hits on an image search. As for the 'owner' of the image, at this point, it's debatable that there even is an original owner of it.

To say that I'm somehow breaking copyright, or plaigarising, is absurd. Even the TOS and FAQ for steemit state:

"If you are using an image that is not your own, make sure you are allowed to use the image, and cite the source of the image."

I've cited a source. An image that has 22,000,000 uses throughout the internet has no 'owner' and therefore I can't ask for permission.

What the real issue here is this: your ego is hurt because I called your post derivative (which it is). 'Photoqueen' also has their ego hurt because they also seem to only repost stock photos.

So instead of trying to harass me or blackmail me, why don't you spend your time making quality content, instead of trolling the people that do.

I'm contributing to the Steemit community. What about you?

"The pot often times calls the kettle black". One word to you. And long paragraph deas not mean quality posting.
