Hey, Natasha -
I think it would be a good idea to credit the illustrator whose image you’re using on today’s FoMM post. Daniel is a friend and collaborator of mine, and it’s not cool to steal his work (nor anybody’s).

Um, if you don’t get permission of the owner, yep, it’s stealing. I don’t see anything passive in that email. Just because the internet has decided, in a fit or petulance, that if you can, you know, copy an image, that it should be ‘fair use.’ If someone handed you a briefcase full of money without identification, would you presume it’s yours to use?

If someone hands you a briefcase full of money why would you start asking questions?

“A briefcase is neither brief, nor a case.  Discuss.”
