Just as an aside….What is it with people who use the web for their own benefit, blatantly lift other peoples work, and refuse to acknowledge the authors? I use a Creative Commons license here, asking people who would like to use my stuff for their personal, non-commercial use to just give attribution in the form of a link to this website. I just came across a woman’s web site who used my Wonder Wheel photograph on a non-commercial blog. Her opening paragraph states, “I should start out by saying that I didn’t take this picture.” Oh, really?? But she woefully neglects to name, or link to the person who did.
This woman, a self proclaimed “forensic anthropologist in training….”, not only uses a 300 pixel image at the beginning of her post, she then links to the FULL size version of Wonder Wheel, in a separate window, with her URL as the site of origin.
This stuff is just incredible. For her to get to my site through a search, click on the Wonder Wheel post, click on the image in the post to get to the full size version, COPY the full screen image, and then for this “forensic anthropologist in training” not to be intelligent enough to copy the link…well, you decide what her motivation might be. Imagine if she was required to pay for the use of the image. What is it with people who know the right thing to do but just won’t do it? Pitiful.
My guess regarding what’s going on here? Wonder Wheel was “good enough” to use as the main attraction on her post, but she doesn’t want to take away the “spotlight” from herself by giving credit to the author. More pitiful.
An update….I have now found seven, yes SEVEN, websites using my images outside the scope of the Creative Commons license. And that does not include 2 websites who, when notified, took down the unauthorized use of my work.
