I'm all for naming people who do such things - I would really want to see if my work or any of my blogfriends where stolen and put on her blog as hers! :( I'm using watermarks on my card pics, had no idea they could be removed again.. So sad that one bad apple can ruin the fun for so many.

I found out about a famous crafter that did that ( I fact checked the story and decided in my own opinion that she probably had stolen someone's work ), and so therefore, I no longer follow her blog, or buy any of her products. So I think it does work to put the name out there. Maybe tell her you plan on doing it unless she makes some type of agreeable concession.

Only this week a fellow blogger has advised me to watermark my work and I have been looking into doing this , but if they can go and just remove your watermsark what is the point to it all!! I craft for the shear fun of making an item not to steal and pass off as my own. I liken this to atheletes that take steriods to win a race. We certainly live in a very sad world. Name and Shame and let blogger know too. hugs Mrs A.Mrs A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14938668067423094462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-85535511895276469642012-01-25T17:29:52.421+00:002012-01-25T17:29:52.421+00:00Oh Brenda, I have no words for this.

On the other hand it might be better to report this issue to Blogger/Google or whatever blogging service she's using, so that they can ban her? If you can properly document that all this is about an infringement of copyrights the blogging service should be able to either remove the relevant content from the blog of this person or remove the entire blog. Have a look at Blogger's Content Policy for more information.Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340912234685352663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-49028896947584289032012-01-25T12:33:46.695+00:002012-01-25T12:33:46.695+00:00Hi Brenda, I am so sorry that this is happening.

I would really love to know who it is as if she is stealing on a regular basis I think that people have a right to know hun. The fact that she is profiting by entering someone elses work and winning is shameful. I don't think you would be a bad person to name and shame hun, infact if it is out there then hopefully she will quit blogland out of shame. Good on you for this post hun.

I hope that whoever it is has enough conscious left to feel shame and STOP! To steal is just wrong.

I wonder who else has been the target of this person. I don't flatter myself that she/he would bother to steal mine - although I do put a watermark on my photographs, just in case - but I have had a website's contents stolen in the past and had to take action by reporting the culprit to the professional organisation we both belonged to. The illegal website was shut down. Unfortunately, crafters do not have such an organisation to complain to but surely Blogger can shut the site down in cases like this. Like others, I can't see the point, where's the fun in stealing photographs ... that's not crafting. Hope it all gets sorted out soon.

I craft for love, and as I don't have a lot of time available I don't get to visit lots of other blogs so haven't been aware of this. However, I think the more people that are made aware of people who steal other's work, then the less likelihood there is of good crafters having their work stolen, and if we know where to look we can check it out and name and shame.<br />annie xAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552175244190164221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-33590145247404914252012-01-23T22:12:02.259+00:002012-01-23T22:12:02.259+00:00Hi Brenda, I am sorry your week has gotten off to...Hi Brenda, I am sorry your week has gotten off to a bad start. I don't understand people like this, surely the whole point of crafting is getting your hands dirty and having fun, I really don't see the point in stealing someone else's work and I think that most true crafters would agree that we craft for the love of crafting, I just don't get why anyone would want to skip the crafting bit of it, surely it's all pointless then.

I'm pretty sure most people don't mind if their work gives someone an idea and they give you a toot for it ... I've done that myself a few times when someone"s idea really appealed, but in any case the real joy of crafting is to combine ideas and thoughts to create something of your own.
