The reasoning behind copywriting is to ensure you are appropriately compensated for your work and contributions. So, it stands to stands to reason that this woman wanted money for her photo being flashed for a millisecond. Fine, understandable. But to have the video, which was rather well done (hence it's quickly widespread popularity) and pretty intelligent (my boss was the one that sent it to me) seems rather hypocritical given her supposed stance as an artist. But then again she is just trying to make her living... Lane, maybe you should have tried retail or something... If we put a picture of her face with a big x over it on the internet, that's original artwork, right? I’m glad someone wrote this.

However I do beleive that "copyright theft", as the name implies, is when copyright is stolen. When something is stolen, the original owner no longer has the item in question. From what I understand, this rarely happens with copyright and, according to the story, it did not happen here. More often, as in this case, the photographer still owns, and posesses, the copyright. It was merely infringed. That is why she was able to act the way she did. I agree with the author, the whole copyright thing has gone too far.
