I guess there’s no edit here, but that should read:

“Sure this industry relies on sharing, but it also relies on sharing traffic.”

The point, from what I see, is that they took watermarked images without noticing. They then went on to use images from Leftlane news without crediting. It was all clearly part of a press package, but the point was that they stole the images and didn’t use their own resources which I personally see as disgusting. Sure this industry relies on sharing, but it also relies on sharing. When a site is young like Leftlane, it shouldn’t be exploited…

Just my 2¢

i appreciate your site, but you are starting to sound a little boastful, like another site (autospies)

you didn’t take those photos yourself, you grabbed them (or were sent them) from some other site. that’s the cycle of things. we all help each other out here.

granted, edmunds did copy and paste your particular picture, but that same picture is available on other sites as well.

let’s all just stick to the news!
