-An issue, I have been thinking about for a while. . . here are a few thoughts.
-It started out with some comments on my blog.
Obviously some people/companies is commenting as a strategy. They just leave standard comments to leave a link back to their own Online-shop. . .
They seem to forget, if someone Googles them, a link to my blog with their comments shows up. Of course, if I don´t want to be associated with them, I delete their comments.
I also find it very problematic with copyrights of pictures these days. There is so many pictures out there and I try to credit whenever it´s possible. But with Google and Pinterest for example, it just looks like people take whatever they need. And some blogs even put their own signature on the pictures they find. I think it is so easy to copy - maybe too easy!
Maybe it comes as a surprise, but copying are also a discipline in the fashion world. Because to produce and sell clothes from the rack like some of the major players today, there is no time for original designs.
As of yesterday, I was sorry to hear that "Fashion is My Muse"-blogger just announced she lost her passion for blogging, because of Copyright problems. That is sad.
I wish people would have that much self respect, to respect Copyrights and show credit where credit is due - whenever possible.
Are YOU an original or a copycat ? -And what are your thoughts about this subject ? - If you have any. . .
In spite of all this, I´m happy to see new followers and wish you all happy holidays and a Wonderful Christmas. For more post like this, look into my labels.

Hej John..
Jeg mener, at hvis man "låner" et billede fra nettet, skal man huske at skrive hvor fra man har lånt det....
Jeg har selv oplevet at mine Kage billeder er blevet "lånt" af andre, feks. har nogle sendt et af mine billeder ind til en kage konkurrence for at vinde, bare synd at jeg fandt ud af det, og fik trukket billedet tilbage.....
Der er sgu mange fordrejede sjæle i verden, tænk at de er nød til at "låne" andres liv (billeder) for at kunne eksistere....
Godt indlæg du her har bragt :-)
Knus og rigtig god jul til dig og dine.
Det er jo det man skal ;o)Godt du opdagede det og gjorde noget ved det.
Tak for din kommentar Irene - dejligt med noget respons.
Knus og tak i lige måde ;o)
