Really Sad Day

It's sad when people have no pride in their own work and think it's ok to buy other people's work, passing it off as their own.

I am referring to creatives, or creatives in training, who think it's alright to download images online, be it paid or stolen, and passing it off as their own.

Where is your sense of achievement, your pride and your honour?

Or have we become a society so in need of instant gratification, with minimal effort that people actually see this as not wrong? Have we become so lenient in this respect that we think this is a trivial matter? It's NOT ok to buy stock images from stock libraries and call it your own. It is NOT ok to take images from someone else's account and say it's your work.

Either way, it's a sad day when one trains in the creative field yet does not have any pride in creating their own results, instead relying on "vending machine instant results".

Honestly, get some backbone, some of you. You know who you are. Have some pride. Unlikely you're reading this but if you buggers are, it's time to have some pride and honour.
