I made the mistake of agreeing with Canzano and disagreeing with Dame on the internet. I'll likely need to delete my Twitter account like LA soon!
Dame will man up but that is a douche'y way for @ringerring45 to say it. Everyone knows if Dame would have tried to hide it by changing it slightly or doing a filter that it would have been even worse.
Yeah, everyone involved (including me) is being a douche. Dame basically said that because the photo was on the internet, attribution wasn't needed... which is just willfully ignorant.
I not saying that. I saying there is a right way and wrong way to go about it from both sides imo. You better believe I would be more mad if someone stole my photo and then tried to alter it to hide that they took it from me.
If Lillard used the picture for an album cover or started selling t-shirts with the image the guy would have a legitimate complaint. But retweeting a picture?!? Why say anything?
God DAMN ... no wonder fucking athletes don't want anything to do with Portland. The smallest things are made into big deals and it's beyond frustrating. We're lucky to have Dame. Despite all this bullshit, he still wants to retire as a Trail Blazer in Portland.
Because having a famous person retweet your content WITH attribution gives you exposure and positive vibes, and gives him a cool pic to share. Retweeting your picture WITHOUT attribution gives you nothing, and gives him a cool pic to share. He gets what he wants regardless, but what you get can vary wildly.
What happened to the college intern he employed? The one who kept driving by Aldridge's house to bat her eyelashes at him. You knew her. Canzano knew her. Every man knew her...
