A weakness.. realizing that we are human beings and therefore wont to commit mistakes. That process called growing up, learning from our mistakes, gaining wisdom, and becoming a better person.

Ownership of Pictures or any work

Title 17 of the United States Code - Copyright Act of 1976. The most important thing to remember is that copyright belongs to the original author, in this case the photographer (1), until the copyright expires or is transferred to another party through a legal a document called a "transfer agreement" (2). It does not matter if the author is anonymous, or uses a pseudonym, nor does he work need to be registered at the Library of Congress for the copyright to be in effect. However, registration is a safeguard against infringement.

Here's something that's worth including in pictures, etc.
