Guess I'm behind the times!!! I won't lie, in the beginning (like 2 minutes after I started my old blog) I unknowingly used what I thought to be public domain images. Now, I stick to my own photos or artwork and I credit and link all over my blog posts to ANY reference I make to ANYTHING exterior to me. I like to give credit and maybe show a little love :) I really like Flickr. Believe it or not, I can't even link up to my OWN Flickr images in my OWN blog posts using a direct URL link. I have to log in as myself, download the pics locally and re-upload them. At least as far as I know, I've yet to be pirated.Alyssa S.http://www.alytopia.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341726073504882359.post-32129773309312389882012-07-26T11:18:59.665-05:002012-07-26T11:18:59.665-05:00I think this awareness will help a lot.

So I am now gradually changing all my celeb photos to only promotional ones that are public domain.<br />I think bloggers in general will be more cognizant of this issue. Thank you for sharing your story!

She said she didn't realize that google images wasn't free for the taking. <br /><br />A friend of mine was awesome in helping me with a really useful tip - I wanted to post a really cool craft from pinterest on my facebook page to share with fans but the link on Pinterest went nowhere and I had tried to find the source to no avail.<br /><br />Anyway, she showed me how to go to google.com, click on images, and there you can upload a photo and it will show you all the links to where that photo comes from. Bingo! Found the blogger who had created the photo and the free printable she used and made sure to include that in the caption in my post. <br /><br /><br />Now, you can't get immediately "slapped with a lawsuit" for posting without citing - but you can if you steal an image and are contacted by the artist asking you to remove it or add credit and remain to use it anyway. <br /><br />Thanks for the post - boldly and truthfully said. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341726073504882359.post-41492242032307906902012-07-25T15:31:07.556-05:002012-07-25T15:31:07.556-05:00I always try to show sources for pics but not sure...I always try to show sources for pics but not sure whether I've always done this! I have 5 yrs of blog posts to trawl through. Love the idea of the Flickr account - was thinking myself how great it would be to have an actual site that bloggers could add pics to and use without fear (but have no idea how to go about setting one up - anyone have an idea?).Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100344594099646839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341726073504882359.post-46386769911633209532012-07-25T15:24:47.055-05:002012-07-25T15:24:47.055-05:00Thank you for sharing this.

Like Dancing Mooney said, most people don't realize what they're doing is wrong. I do know enough not to try to profit from anyone else's work, and I pay for the music and images I use to create my book trailers (which isn't inexpensive!). I'll definitely be more aware now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570437173288571934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341726073504882359.post-46025662532622354032012-07-25T11:38:24.539-05:002012-07-25T11:38:24.539-05:00Thanks, Janell!!

I wish Google Images, ect. had a huge sign saying HEY ALL THESE PICTURES ARE FROM SOME PLACE, AND BELONG TO SOMEONE! <br /><br />And then I wish that the sketchy dudes who steal on purpose would just stop it. <br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />I just don't get it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733854662944058955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341726073504882359.post-92061749921567650442012-07-25T11:29:31.890-05:002012-07-25T11:29:31.890-05:00I remember finding that cupcake necklace on etsy b...I remember finding that cupcake necklace on etsy but didn't realize you had ever reached resolution with that seller, so glad to hear that! :) <br /><br />Sometimes I don't think people realize what they are doing when they 'borrow' images from the web for their own use. Good for you for spreading the word that it's wrong, and unthoughtful. More people should be aware that this is no candy dish, free for the taking. <br /><br />♥DancingMooneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158390199317580345noreply@blogger.com
