Those instagram photos are not altered enough how can it be considered fair use? I guess regular people dont have the lawyers Disney has. Some artist struggle to get into art galleries and others make thousands reselling instagram images by others
.shouldnt he share the profits with the real photographers who took the original pix? This is absurd.
My reptile brain woul beat that guy… The most pathetic thing is that actually galleries give him some credit, while he simply deserves to pay for his stealings (say what you want, it’s not the social media to be blamed, it’s the person who take advantage of the faulty system to scr3w the artist/photographer).
I have read that an Instagram user, when she found that one of her posts was “stolen” and for selling at 90k dollars, started to sell her original works for 90$, tagging that guy and the museums. 🙂
Samsung’s behavior doesn’t exactly show any common sense about photography, even though they make cameras. Potential customers are actually just toys to them.
Samsung has a history of going about their business doing really nasty things. Luring bloggers abroad for a trade show with journalist pass, only to force them to work for free as Samsung promoters (“now you’re far away from home, do what we say or else you’ll have to buy your own ticket home and find your own place to sleep”). They got a lot of heat for pulling that s**t, but acted as if this is normal way of doing business for them. But that was their mobile division and some time ago. But I have not bought a single Samsung device since then, and I don’t plan to do so in the future.
Well, you obviously have something against the Samsung. What you describe in such a repulsive fashion, once striped of the bias, is plain “aggressive” marketing. Literally every other company at least once was caught doing the same. Cue in the Canon USA marketing “achievements”.
Aggressive marketing still sounds better than ‘force people to spread lies’.
I think they have not found their audience yet. In many consumer electronics branches they are pretty successful – but pro/enthusiast branches… I’m not aware that Samsung has presence in any, except the digital photography/video. Pro/enthusiast markets have completely different dynamics, where you actually have to be more open and involved with the community. Frankly, I’m doubtful that Samsung could do it: they are too huge and too consumer-electronics oriented.
