Nothing gets my panties in a bunch more than image theft. Check the terms of use and/or credit the source, people. SO tired of the whole innocent routine. :/

Again!??? What you are a magnet? :jawdrop:
Usedtobeme’s last blog post..another day full of nothing
Dang, I’ve got content theft issues every. single. day. I mean seriously – imitation stopped being a form of flattery to me a LONG time ago.
😡
What are these people copying? Your photos? Are they selling them or something or claiming them as their own… That is pretty invasive. Can you stop them once they do this to you?

oh… and BTW… I love the format you have now.. it looks wonderful :clapping:

Hi Sue! 🙂
Some folks harvest my content (blog entries, whole or in part), some snag my photos and post ’em without credits back to the source. It’s always a good idea, if you didn’t pay for an image or get it from a public domain site – to link/credit the author at the VERY least – but a responsible person would seek out any Terms of Use, especially since my copyright is visible. Even google advises people that there could be terms, it’s just that so many people choose to ignore all that silly text all over the internet that warn people about theft like that.
And thanks, I’m glad you like my digs! :love:
How aggravating!!! 😡 Makes that right click blocker seem almost worth it, huh?
Is there not more ways to protect your “stuff?” I know that when it happens to me I am furious and I don’t have near what you have!

That just sucks, I’m sorry! 😡
pam’s last blog post..Some people defy explanation
Okay, I have to de-lurk just to say that this really aggravates me too. I mean, how hard is it to, at the very least, link back to where you stole an image from?! 😡

oooh, sorry to hear this.
I’ll be good, I promise.
Renee’s last blog post..Inquiring minds wanna know…
I’ve never posted a copyright re my photos either on my blog or at my smugmug gallery. Perhaps I should…. :dunno:
I’m guessing that you saw one of your photos/drawings somewhere…just wondering how it was that you happened to find it. Sorry it happened.
BTW, I still choose you for my blog designer, but until then, I’m using Typepad’s pre-set designs. They came out with a few new ones and, itchy for a change, I picked one. It’s tough though…out of all their designs, I can count on one hand those that I like and/or work for me.

I’m curious, too. How did you know someone had stolen your material? I hate that it happens, especially because you put so much work into yours!
