I find it abhorrent when people steal others work without even giving credit to the original artist for it (happened to me, kicked off a shit storm, they got in the shit, job done, though I think I was banned afterwards!!). Hiding the ads is even more disgusting as this is illegal in more than one country. <br /><br />Oh and as for the copyright stuff, whoever made the photo in the first place has copyright, but since they get reposted, copyright is already infringed. What we have protecting our work in Intellectual Property rights, which is just as big a thing to end up in court over. If you're in Germany, IP is protected all the time even if the original source doesn't like it (see the Damnatus case between some German fans and Games Workshop for a prime example of IP over Copyright).<br /><br />So death to filthy IP thieves!Kara Elissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077098552564327454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638398317329574756.post-16410009911997242502012-08-17T11:53:08.945-04:002012-08-17T11:53:08.945-04:00Posted on TG Central, after I informed "Suzy ...Posted on TG Central, after I informed "Suzy Q" of Andrissa's "extracurricular" activities :)<br /><br />" Hiding Ads on Blogs & Taking Advantage of Others Work<br />It has recently been brought to my attention that a well known caption blogger has been up to what I believe to be fairly unscrupulous activity on a number of fronts. First of all she has been re blogging the work of other captioners and as far as I have seen has not been giving credit to the original author. Second of all she has been hiding ad links in the code so when people think they are going to see the source of the caption what they are actually clicking on is an ad that will take them to a store of some kind. I am aware that for those that want to earn money from their work there isnt much revenue, however by re-posting other captioners work and hiding ad links in the source code she is earning money on the back of their work and the original artist gets nothing.<br /><br />At this point I would like to say that TG Central has never been affiliated with her in any way. I did have banners up but only in an effort to make sure that blogs who had extensive blog rolls were easily visible so visitors could find other blog rolls easily, I did this on my own and without asking her. However due to recent events I have decided to remove all links to her blogs from TG Central. If she changes her ways in future I will consider re-adding her links.<br /><br />There is more information available here: http://codexofcorruption.com/post/29181294876/one-bad-apple "Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08588438002210335131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638398317329574756.post-86910539977525499742012-08-17T08:43:58.850-04:002012-08-17T08:43:58.850-04:00Thanks for the heads up Britney.

I hate that I seem to be coming off as upset so often.... but honestly ripping off an artists just hurts me. I've had it happen before, and I don't mean my caps. I mean photographs that I've taken with my camera. Things that I can claim 100% ownership of. Someone stole them, and made money off of them. <br /><br />So when I see similar actions in the capping community it really turns my stomach.

But to do so, they should own the copyright to their cap... which requires ownership (or at least permission to use) the photo inside the cap. That right there precludes almost all of us from ever making money from our caps. <br /><br />Andrissa has taken that idea of making money from caps so far beyond what is reasonable though that it just sickens me.

It seems to me that you are in the same boat Ian Fleming was once in with Kevin<br />McClory when he wrote THUNDERBALL. They eventually agreed to co-author Thunderball, and that Fleming wouldn't use SPECTRE-the SPecial Executive for Crime, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion ever again. My name is<br />Stephen Trent, and I suggest that you simply inform Caitltn how hurt she made you feel, ask her if you did anything to offend her, and if she says yes, simply ask her what it was, and when you find out, apologise and put it behind you. It's no use nursing a grudge, because<br />that doesn't do anyone any good. Believe me, I know from personal experience.
