RE: Why should you visit Pakistan? Part 2

in #travel8 years ago

I think this is fake
Why are all of your photos from the Internet?

The rest of the photos can also be found
If you were there, why you do not have your photo?
Even one

I downvoted your comment. Here's why: I downvoted the OP based on your claims that got passed to me by the cheetah people, but now I regret it. I've looked into this and none of these images appear to be encumbered by any copyrights as far as I can determine. This looks like a witch hunt to me and I don't like it.

Until now I have followed the recommendations of the cheetah people, but that may not last long if I find that I change my votes for no reason.

This person did not claim to have taken these pictures. They are giving travel information about Pakistan and the writing is original from what I can tell. There is no reason to remove a vote for public domain images and I won't do it in the future. From now on, I place the burden of proving any posting misconduct squarely on the steem police. I will downvote any dubious claims of misconduct with full force to avoid a witch hunt mentality.

You understood me wrong
I asked why if the person was in Pakistan, it does not have any photos?
Now, each of us will take a photo from the Internet and make a not real story
In this post, I see that the man was not in Pakistan
He took a photo on the internet and came up with a story

Hi mrron, I am informing you that I am downvoting this post because you have failed to respond (14 hours as I type this) to @stalker452009's comment. I personally believe that image credit is an important part of blogging as it will give credit to the ones who helped you, in this case a photographer.

You as a poster are going to make money using your time plus a third parties time (or product). In my opinion that is fine as long as you give credit to that third party. Because that gets the third party exposure as a photographer (or whatever he / she creates) plus you lead people into using the services that the third party offers. The way this post is now constructed the original image creator has 0 chance of being discovered as the original creator.

I have checked to see make sure the images are public domain. If they are private, I would give credit. I cannot respond to everyone who says you are stealing because your image "is on the internet" especially by someone who's angry his drawings aren't getting votes.

hello @mrron u need to make sure the photos are free copyrights, even from public domains. look at this. this is the result of google search for the photo posted here "Hunza"

I am not here to defend @stalker452009 but I don't think personal attacks add value to the discussion. Other than that, it is good to hear that you actually do check the images for public domain rights as @thebluepanda pointed out.

I only wish that the author has shown even one of his photo
Now we see that he was not in Pakistan
He took a photo on the internet and came up with a story
