Thanks Ghost for the explanation about the pic credit.
Never a dull moment.

WTF is this all about? Kιℓℓεr Quεεn @beatsoflambert 2h2 hours ago @lambertglitz @glampotterhead don't worry, next time, he won't even bother post your pictures ????
So while the approach is kinda sucky they are correct that just because something is posted online doesn't change copyright and use rights. Adam does need to be careful as I often see him grab photos from Instagram and repost them and unlike when he reposts artworks (where he does give attribution) I don't see him do tit for photos. Many fans would be tickled pink for Adam to post one of their photos but that's beside the point and this guy was correct in asking to be attributed... I don't watermark my photos but that doesn't change my rights or ownership of them. I can can see why Adam would want to use some of them - there are some amazing photos taken by fans, good lesson for him to be bit more mindful when he does.

I suggest that it's very likely that someone removed the copyright mark, tweeted it (Instagramed?), and then Adam grabbed it not knowing it had been copyrighted. My knowledge of Adam-world is limited to what I get on Atop. There have been numerous times when I've seen members searching for a particular photo with the watermark removed. So there are apparently a LOT of people to do that.

It happens all the time that someone grabs a photo or video from IG or a magazine or whereever strips the watermark and reposts it without credit. Then someone else grabs it and on and on it goes until it is very difficult to identify the original source. This has happened over and over, three photos yesterday, two different photographers. He seems to grab whatever catches his eye and posts it. Regram to have it point back to his source (may or may not be the real source) or have one of his people (Leah?) vet the source before he posts. PIA, but doing the same thing over and over again is silly.

I was amazed that I was able to chat with Adam when I met him. I was absolutely petrified while waiting to meet him but I totally calmed down when I actually met him. Part of that may have been that my daughter was with me and she and Adam had lots in common and chatted about their shared interests. He even complimented her on her "style" ~ hair, clothing and numerous tattoos ~ and he said that he loved her shoes. where did you get to meet him? I met Adam early in his career. It was in NYC and it was because of a contest that I won from Z100 (entered over 100 times by answering trivia questions online about music and about Z100) to Meet and Greet Kris Allen, Adam and Alison Iraheta at their live show. It was just fun meeting Alison and Kris (nice guy) but it was truly amazing meeting Adam. My daughter was my plus one and we had photos taken with Adam that were posted at the Z100 website too. We also met Elvis Duran and his morning crew.
