#12Di 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.)
> Di Petta's flip attitude towards copyright is contemptible. But it's true that it is often impractical to get information about creators and rights. It sometimes is. Time and again, people have checked the pair's featured pictures and found sources in a few minutes.
But it being inconsistently easy to find a source and copyright information is also a problem that it would be nice to have solved. That there's a lot of variance in this process is itself a disincentive to engaging in it.
It would be beneficial for everyone if, in general, finding sources was as easy as finding the images to begin with. There's no in principle reason (or is there?) why technology has to make content discovery easy and source discovery difficult, it just is that way right now.

#13This: "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…
Well, no, not plain and simple. At the worst, it's copyright infringement.
You may think this is a pedantic correction, and from your point of view, maybe it is. But it isn't for people who see intellectual property as unjust.

I posted about it here before. It may be too dry, but I find it quite entertaining. https://twitter.com/NEWS_XX14
I want to read all of those articles.
I absolutely love the history leading up to and around the first world war, I've read a good portion of the issues of Punch from those years. But a headline is only enough to arouse my appetite without bedding her back down.

On the contrary! You need to post links to these articles. I want to read all of those articles. I absolutely love the history leading up to and around the first world war, I've read a good portion of the issues of Punch from those years. But a headline is only enough to arouse my appetite without bedding her back down.

The subject of your headlines is critical in my opinion. European news, or Americain centered, International? Popular news? Headlines that turned out very wrong, etc etc. There are so many subjects...

Is this curated at all? It seems like 10% interesting, 90% very boring articles.
One idea would be to focus on certain keywords, but you'd miss a lot of interesting stuff.
I don't know if I agree on your percentages though. In the first 3 days, I read stuff about eugenics, Shackleton, a woman declaring martial law on a town (first time martial law had been declared since Civil War), etc.
