Ever since I read that images can be uploaded directly to Localism.com I have been getting started so i could gain a few points and create more content that is attached to my name but as I was doing that a few questions popped in my mind.
1. What is the danger of duplicate content? I was looking over the article of mine and thought what Google's perception of seeing the same article in two different places might be. Could there possibly be some sort of penalty? Not sure but I do remember reading an article my Mary McKnight saying she posts the same article in multiple places with no fear of a penalty.
2. How well protected are the pictures? If users are giving permission to the ActiveRain group to use our pictures will this pictures show up else where on the net without credit given to the authors? I don't know if this will happen or saying it is happening just a thought that popped into my brain.
3. Is ActiveRain going to be monitoring image copyrights like they do article submissions? My perception is that they will because from what I know of them they are pretty hard-core about copyright infringers. After going through some of the pictures in WA I noticed that a few looked like they were taken from other websites or someone has an agreement with a company to use pictures. That would be kind of messed up if people where using a legitimate account to post pictures to another account (not sure that makes any sense) for points.

I think that is all but for now I am going to go through my pictures and see what I can come up with for the different cities we serve. Local content is the best content :)
