The answer will surprise you...
Who Are The Thieves?
Advance Notes: Once a year, it seems, a question about thievery on the Internet comes up. As I've written before -- thievery on the Web is certainly possible. With today's software capabilities, it's possible to 'res up' a 72 dpi image to 300 dpi with excellent results. So, technically it's possible to "steal images" by capturing small images on the Web and increasing their resolution.
There are other instances of misguided improper use of photos from the web. One example: A commercial printing company executive used a previously published photo from the company's digital file for unauthorized use in a commercial brochure. The photographer took him to court. And rightly so. But the infraction was a mistake -- not outright thievery.
As we rush pell-mell along in the new Digital Age, of course some honest mistakes are going to be made. We're all entitled to a few of those.
NOT OUR PHOTOBUYERS
However, since the emphasis at PhotoSource International is on editorial stock photography, not studio pictures, not commercial stock photos, we should keep in mind just who we are apprehensively thinking may steal a photo. Our markets are books and magazines. And relax: photobuyers at book and magazine publishing houses don't steal photos.
Nor do commercial art directors. The negative fall-out would be too damaging. We need to examine whether we're putting too much worry into a concern that does not deserve it.
A rare few early mistakes have been made as everyone gets introduced to the Digital Age. This has been a learning process for executives and printing company personnel as well as the general public, who are now learning the benefits of the Web. Eventually ignorance on appropriate handling of photos will diminish.
You won't find your photobuyers at publishing houses and magazines exhibiting such ignorance.
LURKING IN CYBERSPACE?
But the question is... "Is thievery rampant, or even existent, on the Web?"

Filing Time Reminders Advance Notes: When tax time rolls around, most income tax filers receive refunds. But just because you receive one, does not mean your return passed muster with the IRS and that you can forget about an audit. All it means is that IRS computers have checked your arithmetic and other basic items. So make sure to file away those checks and other records that back up deductions and other items, as well as a copy of your return. Keep your records at least until the statute of limitations runs out for an audit – generally, three years after the filing deadline. But the IRS gets six years to check, if you understate your income by 25 percent or more. And there is no time limit, if the IRS shows you failed to file or you filed a fraudulent return. WILL THEY RE-CHECK YOURS? Despite what you may have heard, the risk of an audit does not decrease by filing late, rather than early. All income tax returns, whether they are filed early or late, go through IRS computers that scan them for arithmetic errors and single out returns for audit on the basis of a top-secret scoring system. High scorers, as well as some Form 1040s chosen purely at random, are then scrutinized by the tax collectors to determine which ones should actually be examined. One important element in the selection process is how the amount of your itemized deductions compares with the total taken by others with comparable income levels. Want to read more of this article?
