I agree but with the link it seems it has people like David bailey and other prominent photographers worried for the copywright on their works and as the link points out what used to be yours through ownership becomes a free for all grab if someone else wants to use your pictures.

I can basically plagiarise your website content and use it on my own site and there is nothing you can do about it, mirroring everything, even though I haven't done the works

Trust you

Any image that Chris 'Maureen' Scott uses will definitely not be his because no one on my works wears cream - three quarter trousers and wellies.

This is going to get silly ;D

What's worse is if people start copy and pasting chunks of your text then google will begin to devalue your site as duplicate content which could be devastating if your knocked from page one because some toerag has stolen your content.
