Please...
respect my work + photos by not stealing them and using them commercially. Also it is NOT ok to copy my crochet designs and post a pattern of it on Craftster so a whole bunch of other people can copy it. Ahem! to whoever did that. That hurt my feelings. Above is a fine example of thievery that a kind person has pointed out to me. I'm sorry to have to even mention this.

Stealing is poor form! >:-P Too bad there isn't a way to embed an encryption into an image that prevents you from doing that.
Hum! They do make software for encryption!

I don't want to have to do that. As you can see I love "borrowing" images from other people's sites. But I link back to them, and never infer that it is my own creation! arrgh. This is a huge problem in the craft world. I see my internet friend's designs get stolen left and right. But the only other option is to stop posting images. That's no fun!
OOOHHH MY GOOODDD !!!
how insane !!
I think the next step is-
but I was "only inspired".....
arrrgg
I also thought about the option to stop posting....
but....
please don´t stop posting images!
that's really sad.. and crappy! :(
that used to happen to me an awful lot when i had a website for my illustrations. someone suggested to me to put a "watermark" on all of them but it's so frustrating to have to go through that trouble. i feel for you!
That's just so lame. You are very kind to this thief. You could have put his/her email address up or his/her website up for others to comment on. Thieves stink.
Holy crap- thats really disturbing. Ughh...its totally not ok. I wonder how many more images are out there being stolen.
oh no!!! Grrr!
There are all sorts of wicked little tricks people play on bandwidth/image stealers. I would not expect a person of your character to employ them, but a person could be contracted to do them...on your behalf...as it were. ; ) (not me)
PS hi wadie!
That is AWFUL!!!! It however does not surprise me....I can't believe they used that photo of your living room for their shop...whatever. xoxo
hon...you live in Brooklyn. We have people who can take care of people like this you know.
Do what I do...make a call : )
Ha! I didn't know my internet buddies were so mafia-esque! :D This photo incident doesn't really bother me that much. I just think it is weird that someone would want my dusty bookshelf to represent their shop. The pattern copying hurt me more.
honest to goodness this sh*t would make me crazy! Somewhere in middle school I became obsessed with people copying me ... I almost lost it in college when a girl sold kitty doodles I made to a tattoo parlor's flash library. It seriously almost killed me I was so pissed over it.
