Well said, Stevin.
Photos are inevitably going to 'do the rounds'. It's the nature of the internet, and OCC maybe benefits as much as it loses, sometimes, in photos originating elsewhere turning up here. No biggie.
I agree with you about the element of entering photos (maybe the likes of Pedro's excellent work) in contests and gaining from it. It's immoral.
Some of the photos here on this thread, such as the blonde naturist with a ponytail, walking with her boyfriend/husband have been doing the rounds in cropped (i.e. no male) format for ages, so Scotsguy has picked these up elsewhere but, and we should be grateful to him for this, extended the context and number of the photos. I know I'm grateful to him for contextualising that particular set.
What irritates me most, though, about the sharing of these photos is when some loser, as you rightly say, crops them, sends them elsewhere along with captions that claim the girl in question (as in some of Pedro's pictures again, but also of other photos) is the guy's wife/girlfriend. Worse than that, he'll even give her a name. And then some other loser calls her something else and claim's she's HIS wife/girlfriend. That, to me, is the most heinous crime of all.
