#2> Who really deserves the scorn—the two best players in the game or the people who own the stadium?
Are the two mutually excluded? I'm not sure about the platforms, but the owners of the account are definitely in the wrong. Ignorance doesn't absolve you of your responsibility to play within the bounds of the law.

#3I think the only difference between these entrepreneurs and big businesses is that big businesses would say "talk to our lawyers" instead of "talk to our lawyers, lol".
That said, if they do get sued I'm not going to feel sorry for them.

#4This: "The audiences that Di Petta and Cameron have built are created with the work of photographers who they don't pay or even credit. They don't provide sources for the photographs or the captions that accompany them. Sometimes they get stuff wrong and/or post copyrighted photographs. "
Combined with this: "I'm sure the majority of photographers would be glad to have their work seen by the massives."
Nothing 'new media' about it. Theft plain and simple.

#5Di Petta's flip attitude towards copyright is contemptible. But it's true that it is often impractical to get information about creators and rights. I wonder part of the solution isn't some service that decreased the friction (by a lot) for looking up the relevant information. (As I'm typing this I realize this probably isn't a new thought.)

Well, it would help if you added your Twitter handle when saying something like that. Like the idea actually.

It sometimes is. Time and again, people have checked the pair's featured pictures and found sources in a few minutes.

#10I think I've seen a lot of the @earthpics photos on the Earthporn sub-reddit. A bot that scrapes that and cross posts the top photos to a twitter account might work.
