Why You Should Never Lose Your Digital Media
kkrista writes "What would you do if you found someone's digital media card from their camera in your taxi? One such individual has decided to provide the world with 227 days of entertainment. I Found Some Of Your Life will post a photo a day and accompanying fictional narrative for the next 227 days using the photos found on a digital media card left in a cab. Is it pure genius or pure evil? Who cares? Just be thankful they're not your photos."
Do you believe every blog is true?
No. There is no way to tell if this one is or is not true, and it doesn't matter. It's still just another rag on the net... nothing to see here, move along.
The dangers of knowledge trigger emotional distress in human beings.
What are the legal issues? Can the blog continue? Does the blogger face any liabilities?
Who cares? He drives a Taxi. It's not the greatest income in the world. I doubt he has many assets worth trying to win in a judgement.
If I found a memory card and did the same thing, I'd probably claim I was in a low income position to avoid a lawsuit also.
The truth shall set you free!
It is no longer there pictures. the pictures now belong to the person who found them.
Do I find it decent? no. It certianly is not criminal either.
Yes, they pictures are still the property of the person who took them. He has copyright on those photos. Posting them is a violation of copyright law. It also puts the person posting them at risk of being sued by any person in those pictures since he has no model releases from any of them.
One Hour Photo the movie kind of thing
