I was going to post this over on the Vigilante Thread but then I decided to post this here, in the hopes that it might get more traffic. Though I certainly understand if the mods move it.
Plagiarism Today has an article dealing with artists & their concerns over over the fact that images on Photobucket are frequently being sold as prints or other products, without the artist's knowledge or permission. Often artists contact Photobucket & let them know about the rip & it's taken care of. But a lot of times it's not.
As everyone here knows, copyright infringement is a huge issue. If you're curious, you can read the article at Plagiarism Today here.
There's also a petition written by Jonathan Baily of Plagiarism Today titled Artists Requesting Reform of Photobucket's Practice's that you can read here too, if you'd like.
