I am in the process still of redoing my blog here and gallery of images. I have been able to view which sites have infringed on my copyright protected artworks, photographs and text from my blogs, web sites and web posting. Stealing web content is not uncommon of course and having taken images of artworks for personal use I can say I am guilty. But some folks steal content to use as their own, for profit and to boost their own sites. I have found my copyright protected text and images of my artworks on a local face and body competitors site, here at Blogger - those crappy site showing various body paintings and body art, meant I guess to draw you into more lurid sites perhaps and on sites as hidden pages used to draw traffic to their sites. Hidden content is not uncommon, sad it is how my local competition is using my content. Text they could have easily written in thier own words and posted openly - lazy, thefts who want to draw clients away from me.
Well there are ways to solve these issues. For now I will be posting a new gallery. Unfortuately Google slash Blogger does very little to protect blog content of images and text. Ball's in my court!
