I did a very bad review recently of an hotel in a very big chain. I must end up with a 1.5 or 2 max. I was surprised to view that the hotel as a 90% and above rating. That's easy when you are not letting the bad ones go in on purposes.
When I read articles about the situation I just think again about the very good TED conference from Barry Schwartz. Our loss of Wisdom. Collectively, these rules and regulations just dumb down an entire population. Nobody have wisdom nowday. Everything goes back to what in the books. Please don't think just follow rules. 20 minutes of a wonderful speaker at TED conference. http://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_on_our_loss_of_wisdom
I just completed a small cleanup of my shelves this weekend. I send some old CDs like Xcom, Syndicate and Master of Orion. I purchased these copy on GOG.com. but you have to realize that initially I pirated these games before buying them many times over. Yes I was a poor student at the time, but I bought more Xcom games because I could play with it as a pirate. I also bought the new version of it, the iPad version and the board game. That was not the case with all the games I played free at the time but over the time I tried to purchase legitimate licenses for the best games. I always think that good games deserve to be paid for. Maybe not always on day one at their full price.
Is the tattoos would qualified for work for hire ? You hire somebody to do a very unique specific design for a single purpose ? In that case, the artist waive their copyrights. I also thought of the same thing of the wedding photographers, but maybe in the contract you signed copyright could be assigned to the artist and not to the person hiring them.
I remember specially that clause in my wedding photography contract. I never been tattooed so I don't know if they even have contract. I'm guessing that for the most famous of them they do have contract. In this case, I would imagine they put that the transfer the copyright to them and make sure they are not work for hire.

Who copy who
If you publicly predict the outcome of an unpublished TV show could you sue them for copyright infringement?
Not only review site but hotels too
