See my website http://makingamark.hubpages.com/hub/reverse-search-image<br /><br />There is no doubt in my mind but that you copied my photo from my blog. <br /><br />There were a lot of press at the press view - however their photos would have been different. More to the point, this is the photo in the Guardian article about the Taylor Wessing Prize http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2013/nov/12/portrait-jockey-katie-walsh-wins-taylor-wessing-photography-prize <br /><br />My blog also has unequivocal copyright notices on the blog - as explained in the original blog post. <br /><br />The reason for this is I have permission from some major museums to post images of their exhibitions on my blog. You have no such permission from them and you have no permission from me.<br /><br />Next time you try to come up with excuses for your behaviour you might want to try checking the facts of the matter first.<br /><br />I also suggest you familiarise with the rules of copyright. I have no need to post a copyright notice to be able to exercise my copyright with respect to my images.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-61258155627650776662014-09-13T19:29:43.455+00:002014-09-13T19:29:43.455+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Leocadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315989583622349977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-86590959483665335022014-09-13T19:25:09.321+00:002014-09-13T19:25:09.321+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Leocadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315989583622349977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-35550483270051640992014-09-13T19:23:59.050+00:002014-09-13T19:23:59.050+00:00LeocadiaSeptember 13, 2014 at 12:18 PM
Dear Kathe...LeocadiaSeptember 13, 2014 at 12:18 PM<br /><br />Dear Katherine,<br />I just found your above comment a few minutes ago today. I had no idea that the photograph in question, "Spencer Murphy with his portrait of jump jockey Katie Walsh" was taken by you and therefore your property. Please accept my apology, I shall remove it. In trying to recall or retrace the events or thought processes that brought Spencer Murphy's photo of Katie to my attention I feel certain that I stumbled upon it in The Guardian and was amazed by Katie's resemblance to my granddaughter Kelsy Rae. They have the same kind of rugged beauty. I also feel certain that your photo was in the Guardian article beneath the portrait of Katie. I assumed, because there was no credit beneath it, that it was taken by someone associated with the Taylor Wessing judging committee or gallery or by someone from the Guardian. I am not a plagiarist. I abhor plagiarism. To state that I have ignored all copyright notices on your blog is frankly, bizarre since I have never known of or been on your blog until a few minutes ago in order to make some sense out of your complaint. And, in checking out your blog for the very first time today, I see that you do not credit yourself as the photographer of Spencer Murphy standing next to his prize winner. Be that as it may, I will remove the photo. You might try being a little kinder and not jumping to conclusions before making a civil inquiry.

Are both of these situations plagiarizing? I have probably done the latter but didn't think it was plagiarizing as it was linking to the original picture. I'd love to know for the future.<br />Thanks for your advice, <br />KatyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205417044444258330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-91266417110828971602014-03-07T19:28:50.490+00:002014-03-07T19:28:50.490+00:00I've seen people online trying to justify this...I've seen people online trying to justify this type of plagiarism as "sharing" and flattering the orginal poster. This strikes me as disingenuous. Why plagiarize when there are ethical avenues to show people content? For example a reblog that introduces the original blogger and subject, comments, then takes the reader back to the original blogger's website. The ethical behaviors lead to engagement with the greater community, while plagiarism just brands a site as run by blind "content" monkeys.

Recently Ester Roi had an image stolen and claimed to be someone else's art. I can't believe people are so brazen, especially the photo they chose to use of hers. I believe a friend saw her image and reported it to her. <br /><br />But how do you know if it's been stolen. I'm on the web some but have tried to limit my presence so I can get some much needed CP work accomplished.
