Shouldn't this be considered "fair use"? A bunch of guys find some pictures on the internet. These pictures are not the originals but low-res jpegs. The pictures are saved on their machines (by the browser). Then the pictures are uploaded to Twitter. The source/photographer is provided with every picture (if info. is available). I don't understand how photographers are losing here? They are getting free publicity from the pictures which were already accessible to everyone.

> They are getting free publicity

For that, they would have to be properly credited in the first place...

"free publicity"

Exposure doesn't put food on the table.

Indeed. "working for exposure" is basically a swear word in some photography circles.
