Anandtech stole pictures for their r300 article/review!

ToshiroOC · Jul 19, 2002, 12:51 AM

Look! The pictures they have for "high dynamic range" demonstrations are stolen from a different non-affiliated webpage! Anand gives the creator no credit for the pictures, he just uses them as he sees fit in his article! The links are here:
http://www.debevec.org/Research/HDR/

its a webpage about "high dynamic range" photos and all, and it includes the church photos that anand uses

and the webpage the stolen pictures are on are at :
http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=1656&p=10

look! the pictures of the hi-dynamic range church and the data about the pictures are directly stolen from this page.

comment?! questions?! FLAME WAR?!!!!??!!!

bring it on. he's been caught in the act.

btw, i might end up wrong about this. im 100% sure im right, but im dashing this post off within 30 seconds and i might find something mitigating within a few minutes, but still, best to post this sort of thing first, ask questions later

edit: it was taking a while to submit the thread and i found these other links with those pictures anand took:

http://www.debevec.org/HDRShop/

http://www.debevec.org/HDRShop/main-pages/intro.html

this second one here is extremely damning because it has the exact pictures but higher resolution that anand has plus more of the same.

im getting a gut feeling that since i posted at 3 at night pacific time almost no-one is gonna know about it and this is gonna blow up in the morning. i already emailed zardon and [h] about this since my firewall was keeping me from posting properly. theres an identical thread in the madonion forums since my firewall allowed that forum to work, link is http://discuss.madonion.com/forum/sh...=5&o=0&fpart=1 i believe. lets see whats happens now... genie's out of the bottle. btw, if anyone is wondering, i noticed because i was on the HDR website about a year ago and i thought it was really nifty and my trick memory kicked in when i saw those pictures. it wouldn't have done so if anand hadn't used the entire set of hdr-enhanced images...
