The seventh issue of Photoblogs Magazine is now online.
Matt tells us:
This month I'm excited to be revisiting the unique work of Nitsa, who was featured in our first issue. I think you'll find her experimentations with Alternatives in Street Photography quite educational. Jim Stratton adds a nice touch of science and exploration this month with his article chronicling NASA's unmanned mission to Pluto in, To Pluto At Last. For proof that the personal experiences of photobloggers overflows from hobby into journalism, please don't miss Kresta King Cusher's account of one young Rwandan orphan in, Orphans of Genocide. If you're looking for something to break the routine of your 35mm photography habit, you might want to consider Tread's advice and take an adventure into the Plastic Reality of toy cameras. If you are interested in a more poetic sojourn, have a look at Tomasz Trzebiatowski's examination of the walls he is encountering in, Noticing the Unnoticeable; and also Silvia Ganora's poetry of trees and landscapes in winter in her article, Winter Bareness.
Tune in for the next call for submissions, opening in mid February.

The fact that you use the word 'abuse' to describe what you do indicates that you already know the answer to your own question. I know at least one of the photographers you've 'abused' (www.chromasia.com) has a very clear copyright statement that you are violating.
A note to the community as a whole: further to the discussion of image theft from a couple weeks ago, might I suggest the use of the bookmark system to tag offending sites with "theft" or some such, so that we might increase the ease of reporting, and the profile of the offenders?

See the post above for more on this.
As for tagging, any sites that are stealing images will be removed from the photoblogs.org directory. So if you see any, rather than tagging it, write to us and we'll remove it.
