I'm all for rights, but I think the French took this one just a little bit to far.

While there may be some gray areas, photographers rights are not adequately respected. Europeans are a little more comfortable than Americans with an aggressive campaign like this one. But the fact that we are talking about it and that there is some controversy is good for getting the message out.

I find the campaign uncomfortable but necessary.

Woe! Stealing is stealing.

[Jay Gould]

Get my full support in any language!

[Ed Cordes]

I agree the image is over the top. The message however is correct.

[Marina Scarr]

Interesting way to relay the message but my bet is this kind of campaign will get some well deserved attention.

Maybe I'm getting old. I just think using rape is over the top.

Not that I agree with the use of this photo, but it sure gets your attention.

I agree with you Doug on the rape image to get the point across. It degrades the message and does not give due respect for womans rights in that regard. I have 2 daughters and found the photo disrespectfully used. There are others ways to get out the message on this issue. Thanks for your link and thoughts.
