After a very sad performance of Slovenian quasi Pirate Party last week, where we could see that they have no idea how copyright works, we now have even more evidence that Slovenia is a land of pirates that have no respect for other people’s intellectual work.
@skatey and @Zealoth point out to a blunt copyright infringement on two very important web pages in our online space.
First is University of Ljubljana, that should act as a basic building block of our society. Evidently, they have no problems with stealing a stock-photo that costs less than a cup of coffee, that has still a watermark on it! That’s the same institution that will gladly expel a student for copying a paragraph of text without proper citation.
Second example is a Startup competition at startup.si (they don’t deserve a link), that once again had no problem with taking stock photo with a watermark:
These two sites, and the institutions that they represent, send a clear message to our students and entrepreneurs:
We don’t respect intellectual property and you don’t need to either. Take note of that in your future professional work and when you form your own business.
Arrrrrrr!
