Uh, Bones....? Your coach is in Pasco. I suspect he is a bright guy, but do you really expect him to know who Canzano is? Or even care.....?? Just don't piss off the sports columnist for the Pasco Bugle....or whatever it might be called....

Haha my coach wouldn't be the one to care..
 
There's hope for Canzano!

But he reposted it while stripping the original attribution. Twitter *is* his personal website. That's where he lives. It just seems like a use of his power that didn't have to be that way.

So that would mean instagram would be his personal website, facebook, etc.

Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are impersonal in way more ways than it's personal. We are putting out there things about our lives. And unless otherwise noted, nothing is for sale. This picture wasn't for sale. Now, I do believe credit was warranted. However, I'm sure Dame isn't the first one to just retweet a picture of someone elses work. And he won't be the last, celebrity or otherwise.

Forrest gump was a smart man, he said "shit happens."

And a smart response to a "hey, how bout some attribution" is "you're right. Sorry." Not "lol stfu"

I am very good friends with a couple of photojournalists, and work in and around licensed art all the time. It's just part of my normal life, I guess.

Yeah, but those are professionals... this wasn't a professionally credited photo, was it? I guess I'm still not 100% certain about what happened.
 
Dame has used a couple of my pics and given me props..... this is no big deal. He wasn't going out of his way to get over on this dude. He just saw a great pic of him and Kobe

It doesn't matter if he's a pro or not. The little guy should be protected by copyright just as much as the big guy.

What happened:

1 - Dude takes a photo of Dame hugging Kobe in the hallways under Moda Center when Kobe signed a jersey for Dame.
2 - Dude posts the photo to twitter.
3 - Dame takes the photo out of Dude's post about his photo, and reposts the photo.
4 - Dame didn't tell anyone where the photo is from.
5 - Dude snarks that Dame shoulda changed the color or contrast or put an Instagram filter on it if he was gonna pretend the photo was his.
6 - Canzano claims that Dame is a monster.

Shouldn't this be a part of the Official Random Picture Thread?

You want to censor us by burying us? In that thread? I know threads get derailed all the time here, but I like that thread just the way it is.

C'mon, FAMS!!

Do we know it was Dame, or possibly a handler of his account?
 
Haha. How could the photo be Dame's? He's in it! Of course someone else took it.

I get that Dame should have done whatever instagram magic one has to do to repost something on twitter or what the fuck ever it was. It's the right way to do it, for sure.

On another note: In this day and age of constant reposting of everything posted and reposted on the internet, I suspect there are about a billion instances a day of non-attributed non-profit reposting copying sharing and editing of absolutely everything that is posted and reposted. Dude might be well served to get used to it instead of trying to publicly embarrass someone over something 99% of people don't give two shits about because they all do the same exact thing.

I don't disagree that this happens constantly. That's obvious. But who has the weight and power determines some of the moral obligation. There was a tiny bit of lol stfu bullying going on by the person with the overwhelming position of power. It just rubbed me the wrong way.
