Is it wrong to use an image from the web; that I otherwise would have to pay for, simply because the Note makes it possible?
The other day was my nieces 12th birthday. Because of work and a bit of procrastination, I missed the opportunity to buy her a birthday card.
So I thought, I'll just send her an eCard from my Galaxy Note.
I pulled up an eCard website, selected the image I wanted, and then went to pay for the eCard so I could send it.
However, it dawned on me that I can, using the Note, simply take a screen shot of the webpage and eCard that I want, and then using the precision of the S-Pen, crop out all of the advertising around the image and then save it to the gallery. I can then personalize the card within S-Memo and send her a nice personalized birthday greeting, incorporating THEIR image, via a free text message without buying the card from the eCard website (which is what I did!).
At first I was quite impressed with myself and what the Note allowed me to do, but then my conscience began to weigh on what I had just done, and I began to think that just maybe what I had done was morally wrong?
