Tell me if you agree with this statement and then why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted it, I should be able to use it."
I disagree with this statement. Images on the internet were not always posted for other people to find and use. If someone posts a photo they have taken themselves on a blog or a social network not everyone should be allowed to use them without citing it. If the picture isn't cited it will look as if someone stole it and is using it as their own. It's almost like stealing from an art museum and then saying you painted the picture yourself. Stealing artwork is a form of plagiarizing.
