Stealing copyright

Here‘s an interesting discussion by someone who raises the question on “Why is it considered by many “OK” to violate copyright?”

Obviously the restaurant failed to check but the person that sold the images to them had stolen them – just by making an unofficial copy and no one seemed to care UNTIL is started to cost them in damages.

Copyright is something nobody seems  to care about until their rights have been infringed upon or someone files for damages – is there really no way to pre-empt violation of copyright and create measures of deterrence before the act of copyright violation? Of course, there are several, but it’s all about the awareness and attitude towards such enabling tools.

Do follow the debate on the forum.
