What happens to photo attribution, credit, copyright, etc in these situations?
If I take a picture of the moon with my astrophotography setup, I can release that with whatever licensing I choose. If someone takes a photo with their Samsung phone, and it replaces that image with a stock photo that has been very permissibly licensed, they would not be able to do anything with that image that does not fall in line with the license. But who's being told what the license is?
It's one thing if you come up with an app where you take a picture of something on your mobile, but it returns the exact same thing photographed by a professional with much higher quality than mobile, that would be one thing as everyone would understand the situation. This is pretending you have a better camera than you have and selling it as a better camera even though your camera isn't really doing the work.
