Good reminder! I welcome your post wholeheartedly! As a stock photography professional of 20+ years, it dismays me that so many are ignorant about copyright laws. On my very first day on Steemit, I found one of my own Getty images being used without authorization by someone high up in Steemit - someone who should practice what is preached! Those who say it doesn't harm are wrong. Sadly a search on the web of thetparticular stock image brings up the illegal Steemit image way before my own one. So, those who have no idea how to properly find the source of the image may think that one was the source, so they may copy it and the cycle of unauthorized use continues!
