My relationship to the money grubbing SOB people who think the photographer 
is making a zillion dollars from a photo is as usual in my simple minded 
KISS philosophy. ???????

Very emphatically...... "UP YOURS AND DESTROY THE IMAGE RIGHT IN THEIR AND 
THEIR LAWYERS FACE!"

Then move onto the beautiful images you see, feel and capture. Without any 
hassle!
I don't have the time of day to waste when some dumb ass thinks you are 
making millions from a photo of a building /statue that's been standing in 
public view for a thousand years!

Then in a moment of time, light is exquisite and you go "CLICK!" Capturing 
it in a fashion never seen before. That means "that image is truly you, your 
eyes and artistic abilities to see beauty where others have failed!" Is 
there anything wrong with that?

Then some smart ass nobody comes along and wants to sue you for capturing it 
in a fashion never ever seen before?  BULL SH....T!

Keep a copy for your files and screw them!...... Destroy it in some fashion 
and send the ruined image to the lawyers and their so called legal rights 
morons!

"EAT THIS!" Smile and send an icon indicating your pleasure at destroying 
the image. :-) SMILE PROFUSELY! Knowing you've stuck it to the dumb ass 
people of the world who live by suing us, the beautiful people who 
capture-create astounding images of beauty!

Oh not always, as no one is that good. Once in a while? Yeah that's cool! 
Love it! :-)

cheers,
Dr. ted
