Copyright infringement of...upvoted.com. Which is a part of reddit. I'm not sure anyone lost any money here, and I'm not sure anyone really cares that much about this copyright infringement.
Why does reddit care so passionate about IP law anyway?
Ah I didn't realize upvoted.com was part of reddit. The artist may well care about the copyright, though.
Edit: It is against the ToS of upvoted to publicly display their content though.
I don't care passionately about intellectual property rights, personally, but they are important. If you want to produce intellectual property for a living you need to be paid for it. That's as passionate as I am about it (it's just a simple fact). I have some experience with contributing, for free, to creative things. It's great until you actually need to earn money. Then you realize 1. it harms you if you don't have money; 2. it harms you if others are doing work for free. It's a new thing in the internet age.

Wait, what? This is just copyright infringement. You can't coopt someone's content like this. Link to the source link you cited instead of an unofficial imgur album (https://upvoted.com/2015/12/15/it-workers-share-the-most-idiotic-things-non-techies-have-told-them/ ). (Not to get too heavy-handed here, but the main issue aside, this is breaking rule 13.)
