This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You DON'T need a watermark..internet or not for a photo to be copyrighted. It is copyright at the moment the shutter is released by the person who took it. Shutterpug licensed the photo to Avanti Press and they will be more than glad to come after people like this guy. You need to learn more about copyright issues before opening your mouth. You haven't got a clue.
OMG why do you even bother about Pugs photo?? you have copyright, let me ask you did this two dogs gave you permission to picture them?? What ? No! So stop vining. OMG copyright. My photo bla bla! You should be happy at least someone will see it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I OWN the PUGS and the PHOTO. The point is that no one should steal from another person. Any true artist, be it a photographer or videographer respects each others work.
I enjoy people seeing my work, but in a professional light, not in a poorly produced video that has no respect for the art of others.
Your work some see as good some as bad. It depends on person. But in this clip it was discussion, not about quality of your photo, but about stupid way to use it! I don't think you were damaged in any way.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
frame 2:27 is MY photo, copyrighted by ME , and used by you WITHOUT permission. You think you can trample on my rights as the average person doesn't have a ton of money to fight you on a copyright violation. Well I hope you have a ton of money to fight Avanti Press, as they have an exclusive rights contract for the image YOU stole. I have no doubt they have enough cash to destroy you and your lousy video.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dude, your editing is the worst I've seen on YouTube...AND 2:27 is a copyright infringement that is going to haunt you...but you knew that right? My advice...reedit your video and remove that Pug photo before the hole gets deeper.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Another brainiac. Public domain? Just because it can be found on the Internet doesn't mean it's Public Domain. The majority of photos on the internet are copyright and belong to someone. Hit the Google button and educate yourself.
even so, I wouldnt bother worrying about it unless the company who owns the rights to the picture decides to pursue it. Chances are nothing is going to happen since youtube/ google hasnt flagged this video for copyright infringement and Avanti Press may not see as all that negative.

You DON'T need a watermark..internet or not for a photo to be copyrighted. It is copyright at the moment the shutter is released by the person who took it. Shutterpug licensed the photo to Avanti Press and they will be more than glad to come after people like this guy. You need to learn more about copyright issues before opening your mouth. You haven't got a clue.

I OWN the PUGS and the PHOTO. The point is that no one should steal from another person. Any true artist, be it a photographer or videographer respects each others work.
I enjoy people seeing my work, but in a professional light, not in a poorly produced video that has no respect for the art of others.

Your work some see as good some as bad. It depends on person. But in this clip it was discussion, not about quality of your photo, but about stupid way to use it! I don't think you were damaged in any way.

frame 2:27 is MY photo, copyrighted by ME , and used by you WITHOUT permission. You think you can trample on my rights as the average person doesn't have a ton of money to fight you on a copyright violation. Well I hope you have a ton of money to fight Avanti Press, as they have an exclusive rights contract for the image YOU stole. I have no doubt they have enough cash to destroy you and your lousy video.

Dude, your editing is the worst I've seen on YouTube...AND 2:27 is a copyright infringement that is going to haunt you...but you knew that right? My advice...reedit your video and remove that Pug photo before the hole gets deeper.

Another brainiac. Public domain? Just because it can be found on the Internet doesn't mean it's Public Domain. The majority of photos on the internet are copyright and belong to someone. Hit the Google button and educate yourself.

even so, I wouldnt bother worrying about it unless the company who owns the rights to the picture decides to pursue it. Chances are nothing is going to happen since youtube/ google hasnt flagged this video for copyright infringement and Avanti Press may not see as all that negative.
