I don't have to make a living off the images I own, and nearly everything I post on this and my other blogs is something in my own collection, but if I were someone whose livelihood depended on my own creations, I certainly would be upset. As I recently told a friend, even XEROX from 50 years ago is technically illegal and a violation of copyright, but technology progresses faster than the law. My posts on tumblr don't express problems with tumblr (or any of the other web-based content aggregators) only that they aren't going to provide any jobs for any of us. EVER. My advice to ALL....WATERMARK your images if you post them anywhere. And I've said that before too.Dull Tool Dim Bulbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466910515571454914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800318651965357815.post-90764412263941836792010-07-30T23:22:13.325-07:002010-07-30T23:22:13.325-07:00A recent flickr blogger's reaction to mis-use ...A recent flickr blogger's reaction to mis-use of original material I just found:<br />http://www.flickr.com/people/eriknitsche/malehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03998743281217037608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800318651965357815.post-31857222829503524422010-07-30T20:08:17.073-07:002010-07-30T20:08:17.073-07:00I'm a little puzzled.

Ray Norman (the cultural jammer in Tasmania, that's the little island under our little island which the world calls Australia) . . . he has an eleven blogspot where he published things 'under a dozen' here: http://www.collectelevens.blogspot.com/<br />With my blog and your blog at least we publish our own stuff, the things we collect, the objects we publish - we bring into the world . . . I'm getting a bit jaded about the blogosphere's use of material without the attendant source links.<br />As for pole sitters and dancers, etc they're still out there with their limited audience just waiting for John Foster to pick up on 'em! (at least he provides his sources). Its the death of the post card, the demise of the postal service. The internet has given us new vehicles but the kinky performers seem to be politicians and scientists now.malehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03998743281217037608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800318651965357815.post-40400900133179525002010-07-30T18:13:47.916-07:002010-07-30T18:13:47.916-07:00Eleven employees?

Then I slapped my head and thought that you may be overlooking something. (Not to bust your rant in two). <br /><br />There are millions of monkeys out there who, out of work, started up a little micro business for themselves. The 'HandMade' category being one of the fastest growing sectors. So maybe it evens out, maybe it's good that the monkeys have to be creative and figure it out. At least they're trying something.<br /><br />On the flip side, it is rather depressing that there aren't any monkeys performing physical antics of wonder on the street corners anymore. I might just crawl out from under my lava rock to see what's going on if they were there. <br /><br />I have renamed America, it is now 'faded glory', after the cheap china clothes brand of Walmart, after the sparkle and energy was depleted by jack booted thugs. We let them and that's the sorrowful truth.<br /><br />This monkey is signing off with an old Chinese curse:<br /><br />'May you live in interesting times.'trixiefishstabberhttp://trixiefishstabber.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800318651965357815.post-64428184372421848502010-07-30T14:27:11.297-07:002010-07-30T14:27:11.297-07:00"So how come we don't see pole sitters, s..."So how come we don't see pole sitters, sky dancers, waterfall walkers or dance marathoners anymore?"<br /><br />Because they're all now pundits on Fox NewsTattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.com
