Corporate copyright infringement
The Washington Post has a surprisingly balanced article which discusses cases of corporate copyright infringement. This is the under-reported flip-side to all of the cases where users are uploading/sharing corporately-owned intellectual/creative property. Big companies still have an advantage in these cases because they can blame interns and buy off negative press and law suits with what’s pocket change for them. IMO, the company is responsible for not properly educating their interns on copyright if those interns are being asked to harvest images for company use.
I’m adding this to my deconstruction of copyright later.
