We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

This is the snake eating its tail.

The photographer only took photos because he was famous. The photographer is getting money from someone else's work.

But the person you are profiting from cannot use the photographs because he is profiting from your work?

I understand that legally, there is a set of laws to manage that. But ethically that is fucked up that the person you took a photo from didn't give you permission and you profit from their notoriety, but that person cannot use the photos himself.
