Probably more guilty. I'm fine with someone copying and pasting my first two paragraphs from a blog post and linking to my blog, but if they steal my entire post and use it as their own on their site - that's a different story. I can see photographers feeling the same way, well I'm best friends with one so I know how he feels. Alt tags or not, it's probably OK, but not legal. I guess that's how I see it. Am I going to only use CC images from now on? Heck no, but I will at least try to search for them first and use content / images that are legally and morally allowed to be on my site. Hopefully, Mr. CC doesn't take me down. Colin, I'm pretty much as guilty as you. Probably more guilty.

I'm pretty much the most guilty person ever when it comes to this. You've got to admit that you're kind of asking for your content to be borrowed when you put it on the web. I know that legally it's a faux pas, but my thought is if you make an image, put it on your website and use alt tags to tell an image search what it is, then it should be fair game even if legally this isn't the case.
