Intellectual Property Violation

This is just another classic story about how doomed my country is. Many may know it as a fast developing country. But I could not agree when it comes to the quality of mentality. I know many people blog and some just seemed oblivious to the “house rules” of taking other people’s work and using it as their own.

I recently found that Holly Hope’s photos appeared on someone’s blog and like any other person who takes pride for capturing those moments, I was furious. I just could not understand how could someone be so ignorant. Attempts to request for removal was furthered ignored and my photos are still showing on this person’s blog.

Even if there are no laws governing infringement of rights, it clearly show one’s credibility and principles when he or she take someone else’s work without the consent of the owner. But the good news is, there are laws governing infringement of rights and I am now looking at the possibilities of how I can pursue this matter legally.

As of now, this particular person has not ask for any permission nor has she made any reference stating the origin of those photos.

Here is the blog in question:

This is the only post so far that I am so embarrassed of posting because I just cannot imagine how primitive people in my country is. TOTAL SADNESS…

UPDATE: Thank goodness that those photos has been removed! Now, I must say, there is still hope. But of course it takes a lot of dissing for that to happen. Just read the last words on that posting and that will tell you how amazing some people can be

  1. Wow! I am so sorry this has happened to you. I would be furious too!! I went to the blog just now and saw that the photos were removed(thank goodness) but also saw the rude comments she posted toward you. It’s a shame people like that think whatever on the internet is theirs for the taking and then to get upset over something that they did wrong in the first place! Ugh! I’m glad Holly Hope is safe and sound with you.

  2. well, it goes to show how primitive she is in her comments. It does not hurt me a bit there. LOL….

    Thanks Lindsey.

    What a rude brainless bitch! She doesn’t even know that she’s in the wrong! I agree with u truluv, her mentality is extremely primitive! childish comments!

  4. It’s a shame people will get all worked over your requests. But taking a picture with out permission is no different than stealing. I’m sorry you had to deal with a person like this.

    The rude comments towards you are uncalled for. I don’t think you are “stuck-up” or “rude” at all for your requests of removing YOUR photos. It obviously shows how non understanding she is.

    It happens though. You’ll always meet a differation of people and their actions, thinkings, and opinions. She took it the wrong way and made it seem like your fault. Whatever though.
