But a photo from a computer screen, who knows who the owner of the original photo is?
i can right now take a with my phone a photo from google on my screen and upload to iNat,
who can tell the different?

@cthawley

If it’s a photo of screen/screenshot and you have clear reason to think it is not that person’s pic, it’s reasonable to flag as copyright infringement, since, misattributed photos also get flagged for this.

More discussion on this can be found here: Spotting copyright violations

Also, I want to emphasize @cthawley’s point that you should have a clear reason:

@cmcheatle

suspicion alone is not enough to flag a photo, you need to be able to document that it is in fact downloaded. If you suspect a photo may be a violation, but can not find it via a reverse search, rather than flagging, a polite,non-accusatory question on the record can be left on the observation
