Filed Under (personal) by snippets
I love taking pictures and sharing them. However, that doesn’t mean that anybody can just use them. Well, they can, but with my permission. For me those shots are “personal” and it is a shock finding it in another person’s blog without my knowledge! I hope that everybody understands my situation. This post was made because so far I have seen two blogs already using my “coconut” shot without my permission. I don’t hate the bloggers … I just wish that they told me before posting it. So far the first blogger has acknowledged it … Others might not believe that I took that shot (dunno why, it wasn’t spectacular!), but if you want confirmation I can send you the original file! Lesson learned for me, I guess. I should place my name/mark in the center of my shots! So for those who don’t want to experience what I just went through, a friendly reminder:

Sis, that’s why Mousey has that blog na nakapost yung “I took this photo from Mousey” ganyan. Kasi yung sa case naman niya, as in per post naka-copy talaga. She reported it to Google already but nothing happened naman. Since she’s not changing her frontpage, ayun, tumigil na yung bot sa pagkuha ng photos niya. Maraming ganyan talaga. Kaya i-watermark mo na lang mga photos mo, ang gaganda pa naman!

Nakakatawa yung mga sagot sayo, sis! Ang tindi rin ng kakapalan ng mukha nun ah. Kilala ko siya sis. She visits my other blog. Nakakatawa rin na siya pa ang galit sayo samantalang ang ganda ng pagkakasabi mo sa kanya. Hay… Yaan mo na ang mga taong ganyan. Babalik din naman sa kanila ang ginagawa nila hehe Kapal lang talaga! Ako ang naiinis! Hahaha

btw, how do you find out if someone’s been using your photos? i worry about that, too, but i don’t bloghop often so i never know. do you have an autumated bot or something?

I empathize with you Maiylah. There is no excuse for duplicating someone’s work without his/her permission. It is just like plagiarism. I do copy other pics in my blog too, especially those that I liked so much but I asked first the permission of the original owner. In fact, I owe it to her/him to acknowledge her or him with a brief description and a back link to her own blog. What we should ask ourselves when doing things is the question: “Do I want others to do this same thing to me?” If the answer is no, then we should not proceed with whatever we plan to do. This question is always useful to chart the proper course of our actions. or better yet, follow the Golden Rule,..”Do unto others what you like others do unto you.” Being civil about it, makes you the better person, so cheer up ! Happy blogging.

btw, I was thinking of a blog title with the “snippets ” word…lol..but I guess, I could look for a synonym instead…regards.

I do use photos from other sites but i always make sure that i have a link back to their site. i do sometimes forget but i always make sure i fix it when i see it again. this way, the owner gets additional traffic too. i like your photos. which camera do you use and what lens? thanks.

I wrote about this awhile back here: http://mirageasusual.blogspot.com/2008/05/tineye-photo-search-useful-tools-for.html This is about tineye, this would help us find fotos that others copied from us. tingnan ko ung post before this ha, ung foto na ninakaw, anu ba, kainis naman, dalidali naman hingi ng permission, like I did sis when I put your skf foto sa drive by eheheheh….cool ka lang, keep in mind imitation is the best form of flattery, in your case copying…

As my son would say: bad cheetah! Hehehe…I agree na mas maayo bitaw ibutang ang name where cropping won’t eliminate it. Happy weekends Mai!
