Stolen Work
My work has been stolen or at least, misrepresented by others.
I will not be posting anything new until I find some remedy.

I feel cheated because some a@@hole can’t do their own work but have to steal yours.

That is terrible! How did you discover it? I always worry about posting all my photos and writing everywhere but thus far as far as I know haven’t had anything taken. I hope you get it resolved.

It IS very uncool, and unethical, and most likely illegal. It makes me ill.

This is disheartening Maya, I’m also curious about how you became aware of the theft and misuse.

Maya, I hear and feel your hurt indignation. When this happened to me, I responded with this account of my experience: http://austindetails.me/2014/04/03/copyright-fair-use/ I hope your efforts to resolve this work out for you.

Jann, thanks for commenting and sharing your very, well-written account of your experience. I’m so mad about all of this…I don’t even want to blog anymore 😦
You are so right, fair use is definitely not fair but it seems until there are stiff penalties for copyright infringement and theft, this is just going to run rampant.
