Admit it.
You’ve broken copyright law.
There was that post about Namdaemun or something, where you couldn’t find a decent angle of the Seoul monument amongst the hundreds in your own photo library do you’ve gone to Google Images and “borrowed” a shot from there, slipped it into your post and that’s that. No harm done?
Well, in reality, there is probably no harm done, especially if you are a blogger writing to keep the folks home abreast of developments here in Korea and aren’t making a bajillion dollars off a bajillion page views every day. But technically you have stolen the image (or other work) and used it without permission.
You’ve broken copyright law.
And you’re going to jail.

Last weekend I was very happy to be part of a sit down between Creative Commons Korea, Tatter&Media and Nanoomi.net and record a podcast discussing some of the copyright issues that are facing bloggers (like myself, and perhaps you dear reader) when it comes to creating and publishing work on the internet both here in Korea and around the world.
You will have to stay tuned for the podcast which is being carefully laced together from different sources by the little podcast elves down in the little podcast cave somewhere next to my hard drive under my desk.
However that doesn’t mean you can’t start licensing your work straight away. But why would you? As an author you have the complete and moral right to determine how people view and use your works, for example your photos, created images, recordings, music and of course writings. By implication they are all copyrighted by you and only you, and no one else can claim them for their own.
