If you could just copy them off the internet that is a form of reproduction and the photographer wouldn't get paid. It is also why you have to pay a fee to download a song off the internet or to play a movie at a school for money or whatever. They are all copyrighted properties and considered art owned by the artist. |
Oh okay.. you didn't offend me.. was just wondering why you can't take your own pictures.
