Fair is Fair
I try to hold myself to decent standards when it comes to what pictures I will and will not use on my blog. First and foremost, I do not use pictures that come from a pay spanking site without credit and a link to the producer. In the blog world, I had previously felt that there were some unwritten rules. Specifically, if someone found a picture, such as the sorority paddling pictures that I introduced to the spanking world, other bloggers would not use this picture without at least crediting what blog they got it from. Clearly, I did not take any of the sorority paddling pictures I have featured, but I think everyone will admit that the great amount of candid paddling pictures, for the most part, were first noticed here. I have seen that in my absence, these pictures have become widely used on other blogs, that used to respect the unwritten rules. In addition, I have actually seen entire websites spring up entirely from these paddling photos. All the pictures that I posted have been resized from the originals, so it is easy to tell if the pictures were taken from my blog. In addition, it seems that bloggers are going a bit crazy now days with copyright infringement and I am seeing photos from my paysites being widely used without credit being given. This means two things. First, it is time to get the lawyers back into action, it seems I will have to start shutting down websites and blogs again. Secondly, if I find photos that I like and want to use, on a blog that is using my content or pictures that originated from my blog, I will not be giving credit to where I found the pictures. I guess everyone thought I was gone for good and it was time for a feeding frenzy, guess again. For those of you out there using uncredited pictures without permission, get ready, my legal team is cleaning their guns.
