god told me to steal these photos

• Views: 1,075

Robert Scoble linked to this Flash-based interview with God in his weblog today. Normally I avoid treacly “inspirational” cruft like this, but the Scobleizer said it had beautiful photography and I’m a sucker for beautiful photography. (As you may have noticed if you visit regularly.)

He was right, the photographs in this Flash presentation are beautiful. Because they’re all lifted from Webshots.com. Lifted as in stolen. Pilfered. The old five finger discount.

I watched the painfully slow movie all the way through, just to make sure there was no credit for Webshots anywhere.

Apparently, if you’re doing the work of the lord you’re allowed to steal other people’s creations (aren’t they god’s creations, after all?) and pass them off as your own. I wonder who owns the 4 bars of new-agey music they repeat over and over and over.

(Update: looks like the site has been taken down.)
