Then why argue that they are anything but dust? They are dust. They are not spirits, and not "an orb that was caught flying about, mid-moment, as the picture was taken and left a trail" - they are dust.

The "orbs" are nothing but dust.

You mean... you won't respond again, as you had indicated 15 responses back...???

Yes they did (and told their readership to watch it) - though they were compelled by the courts to remove the video clip (but refused to remove the article describing the entire encounter).

Gawker Media even posts them sometimes.

I'm sure Gawker Media would be interested in the tape.

"No, iTunes is not for copying copyrighted materials. In fact, it is expressly against that." - You gave got to be joking.

Desecration does not require physical damage.

"Generally, if you use a person as a subject of your photography, and it's for public consumption, there should be signed model releases..." - the comment you made that I was responding to was not specifically about these (or this type of) photos - it was about photos of people in general.

Generally speaking, it is for commercial use of images / likenesses for which model releases are required. Otherwise you would rarely see images of people in the news or on this website, etc. or in the media in general - or in any gallery or publication or website featuring any type of photojournalism or street…

In what way is he an accessory to any crime?

"You cannot let it go..." - says the person who indicated they were bored with the conversation and would no longer be replying (while simultaneously posting a video that contradicted their own argument) at least half a dozen replies back.

Nope. You see, I pointed out how your own words and numbers contradict themselves and / or support my argument. Not the same. But I don't expect someone like you to see the difference there. I cannot help that you can't even understand the numbers you present and how they completely negate your own point, and support…

I used to commute every day, 7 miles each way. My ride (door to door) took less time than it took me to take the bus, train, or drive my car through traffic. It's insane that more people don't realize that bike commuting is as viable an option as it is (I work from home now, and actually miss having that commute - now…

Correct - it doesn't require any intent of financial gain on the part of the person committing the offense. The point I made was that it detracts from the (potential) financial gain (sales-based income) of the artist. It has nothing to do with any financial gain on the offender's part (which is also why I pointed out…

You don't even understand your own arguments. But please, keep on with your juvenile little name-calling tantrum - it really helps your credibility...

Still responding to argue for argument's sake? And now adding name-calling to your repertoire...? Man, talk about a tantrum...
