Funny thing is that she had the nerve (beyond stealing photos) to then put her website address on the photo, so people knew where it came from.<br /><br />Now she's giving you credit and has posted your original photos.

It's frustrating when people wo...I'm sorry. It's frustrating when people won't give you credit for your work. I work in the music business at a PRO (performance rights organization). We work to protect songwriters' and song publishers' copyrights. Most people have very little understanding of or consideration for intellectual property. They treat it like air - something they are entitled to. <br /><br />You could larger watermarks on your photos - but it sounds like that's not something you want to do. <br />You could put giant warnings all over your blog about copyright and the use of your work - how it must be credited. <br />You could even post that uses must have expressed, written permission to use your property. <br />But unfortunately, if people want the pictures they're going to find a way to take them and may not go to effort to credit/notify you. <br /><br />If this is really bothering you, keep in mind that your photos and the original content of your blog are your intellectual property and you have the right to say how it can be used. As a first step, I'd gracioulsy email the person using your photos and ask for them to credit you. As a second action, if they do not credit you borrow some legal language (that you can find on-line) and email them directly using words like "cease and desist" and other big scary law-type words. Most people will be scared enough of that - and a potential lawsuit - to take your photos down or at the least give you credit. And you won't have to do anything further. <br /><br />From there, you can decide how far you want to take if it's something that you truly want to pursue. <br /><br />Otherwise, just let it roll. And I guess you can look at is a form of flattery - that you do such great work (because you do!) that people want to use it!Jennifer Coomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144695641505947308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-19061398865404046192009-07-18T12:20:24.379-05:002009-07-18T12:20:24.379-05:00funny how all the shiney bits are in the shape of ...funny how all the shiney bits are in the shape of your window lol that's old school watermarking, when your window and face are reflected in your nails lolPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297012890565549988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-70529722826512037132009-07-18T11:55:31.676-05:002009-07-18T11:55:31.676-05:00Thanks everyone :) You're the best!
