Submission + - Shepard Fairey Admits Using Other Obama AP Photo (ap.org)
DrivingBear writes: The AP is reporting that the AP was right! Shepard Fairey has admitted that he lied about using the photo of the president next to actor George Clooney for his famous "HOPE" drawing. Rather, he based his drawing on a solo shot of the president taken by Mannie Garcia as the AP has long claimed. Fairey said he "submitted false images and deleted other images" in an attempt to hide his mistake about which photo he used. His attorneys, led by Anthony Falzone, executive director of the Fair Use Project, have withdrawn from the case because he misled them. Fairey has apologized for his mistake and insists that no matter which photo he used "the fair use issue should be the same."

but when it truly hurts someone it's time to stop.
One of the difficulties with verbal abuse on the internet is the lack of feedback. Unless the victim posts some sort of response there is no way for the attacker to see how her words are impacting the victim. This is why we need to consider our words even more carefully on the internet or in email than in person. It's often difficult, if not impossible, to judge how our words are being interpreted on the other end the line and then even further how they are emotionally affecting the recipient.

We should really look at the emotional/psychological reasons that these kids are attacking each other and come up with strategies for treating those issues rather than arresting children for mistakes they make online.

Unless of course you added that line to the wikipedia article. In which case you'd be sourcing yourself and we'd be taking your word for it twice.
