You should study the law before you tell people to break it! The act of creating a photo copyrights it. The creator should register it if they ever need to sue, because if the creator wins, the loser pays legal costs. But you don't have to register it to sue someone and you don't have have register it for it to be copyrighted!
You better write a retraction!!!
I've been dealing with copyright theft for years, as have my fellow professional rock and roll photographers.
You just made our lives more miserable.
You know how to get great images? You make them yourself, you ask before you STEAL them, you pay for them but you never ever take them from sites that have copyright info anywhere on the site (or mags, books, docs, TV, etc).
The photographer puts time, money, energy, thought and themselves into every photo they take. It's not free and it belongs to the creative person or the person paying for you.
Where's that retraction?? How would you like it if i came over and took your car, your bike, your TV just cos I could?
Art and Photos are called Intellectual PROPERTY.
But you should have made it clear from the beginning there are limitations and legal requirements. Many of us don't click and read the whole story.
Next time summarize the finer points of any posting to let people know the LEGAL ramifications of a sensational headline about getting anything for free.
I also never told anyone they could have the images for free without credit, that is absolutely ridiculous. It is not my fault if someone thinks otherwise because they read the headline and not the article. As for you, I would recommend before insulting anyone you actually read the whole article, because I'm on the same side you are and all you have done is humiliate yourself.
