Techcrunch Uses Image without attribution in Ethics Blog Entry Irony

One of my favorite books period, an easy read yet with deep consequences is the book “Ethics 101” by John C. Maxwell.  Here is an image of the book cover from Amazon.com ( and no this is not an affiliate link):

The irony for me is using an image called “Ethics 101” but it’s an image of the book cover “Ethics 101” cutting off the authors name and without attribution.  I know this is minor, but as a “blogging 101” lesson for anyone; don’t take images that are not yours and give credit where credit is due.  I wonder if after ones blog gets huge and you have 1000’s of visitors per hour if you no longer have to obey common blogging and attribution etiquette? (I could be wrong, maybe they used the exact font etc. and layout and this is a total coincidence, but well I don’t think so.)

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this?
