The Jonas Brothers were playing a show in Bryant Park this morning for Good Morning America. The place was overflowing with teenage girls and Oompa Loompas. Truthfully I only saw this one. I’m not sure what he was pushing on the youth of America, but hopefully he wasn’t trying to lure them with everlasting gob stoppers.

TinEye Discovers cNet CopyRight Violations
TinEye is a cool new tool that will search the web for similar images. After installing the FireFox plugin, you can right click on an image, and search for similar images across the web. I decided to give it a whirl on some of my images. Interestingly, I discovered that cNet has stolen and modified one of my more popular images :
Dust and Rust image (Original Blog Post):
Due to hotlinking to that image, I had previously downsized it, and put an ugly watermark on it. cNet grabbed the original off the site before I pulled it.
cNet Version of my Photo (found at this cNet Blog):
They even gave someone named Sarah Harbin a nice credit for the photo. Sweet! I’ll be contacting cNet to see what they have to say. It’s a shame… all Sarah had to do was ask nicely, all I would have asked for is a photo credit and a link back to this site.

I posted my concerns for the Photoshop Express Licensing terms to their Express Discussion Forum. They have posted a reply here. It’s good to see Adobe is taking the issue seriously.
