hirezDear (self-)righteous campaigning types,
I believe what you're arguing about is the alleged right of someone to de/re/contexualise images1 without the express consent of the participants.
Inasmuch as I am basically ok with the picture(s) from one of the early net.goth picnics being used in the context of 'Hey, look. There's [thingy]! Don't we all look young!', but I'm really not terribly happy for it to turn up on SomethingAwful about a decade later with some shoddy filtering applied as an entry in a rubbish potatoshop competition.
See also random Whitby snappers churning out grubby wank pics.
We need a crack team of postmodernist commandos to investigate and stamp out context violations.
1. And other (binary) media-object types.
