I have no problem with someone sharing my pics via social media as long as they don't try and sell it or otherwise make money from it. <br /><br />I once got approached by a non-profit organisation that asked if they could use one of my pics on their website (with attribution) and I was very happy to help.

This is a totally different ballgame.Roger Gauthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690736289188945063noreply@blogger.com
