I share photos all the time for entertainment purposes, just by linking the web address of the picture and a short description. You have to click it and see it on Flickr then, at the artists page on Flickr. I thought it was just something Flickr did to save service money by stopping people from linking the photos.

I work at a photo/design studio where we make our livings off the work we do by licensing photos and designs for various uses. If people are pulling it because they like it and it's cute and they want it on their desktop or phone wallpaper or whatever, it's one thing. We happen to use social networking sites (a category into which flikr falls IMO) to help promo our portfolio and get hired and when someone pulls it to make their own posters, use as design elements, or use in ads and stuff, that sucks. Why spread these techniques in the first place? It's not hard to contact us about photos with our credits all over them... - Patrick S. @Brent – I agree.

If the image is protected, it is because the artist wanted it that way. Please don't pretend that circumventing the spaceball.gif is anything other than theft of intellectual property. Yes, I know the image is cached on the computer and yadda, yadda, yadda but the obvious intent of the creator was to control their copyrighted work and its distribution. If you like the image enough to take it - contact the artist and get it legally. Giving proper credit does not absolve you from copyright laws or feed the photographers family. Thanks. no, don’t give credit – don’t steal the photo.
