To the right is an image of a symbol that as Realtors® we ought to know the significance behind it. Even here in Active Rain over the years I have read post after posts of one fellow Rainer or another pointing out the importance of not infringing on someone else's copyright. The internet has brought about a proliferation of images, documents and blogs that has made it all too easy and oh so tempting to even the most humblest of souls to copy or "borrow". Who's going to notice, right?
Warning! that is not a good idea. One such person found out recently in a federal case the overwhelming cost of "borrowing" the work of someone else. It cost them dearly. For the average Realtor® that cost might as well represent a pile of gold or a lifetime of work. Is it really worth it?
Here's a link to that story in this month's edition of Realtor® magazine. It should have everyone thinking before cutting, copying or pasting.
