Therefore, beyond the youth group implications, what we have is an example of an increasing online problem: ad agencies blatantly ripping off artists just because their work is online.<br/><br/>Wait a minute, aren't the big companies always complaining about the little guy stealing their stuff online? I guess they figure a little turnabout is fair play. All photos posted to Flickr automatically receive a copyright notice unless the poster specifies differently.

I actually recently switched most of my online youth stuff to the evil myspace. lol I actually decided it was the best combination of safety and ease of use ... as well as popularity. Kids can get permission slips, etc., off the page - anyone can see the upcoming events, meeting times, etc., but all of the photo albums are set to be viewed only by friends of the page ... and I'm only letting teens (or parents of teens, if they want to) from my community be on the friends list. So now I've got hundreds of events pics online, the kids can comment on them, and no one else can see them (like Virgin or predators). Maybe not the best solution, but maintaining a myspace page is soooo easy, and all of the kids in my group use it, so it's a great way to post bulliten reminders to them, etc. Wow … that’s awful.
