RE: WHY NOT TO USE IMAGES YOU FIND ON THE INTERNET – IT'S ILLEGAL – YOU ARE STEALING!

in #photography8 years ago

I am an #OriginalContent advocate and post my original fractal art often, mostly daily. I allow my images to be used for anyone's IMG_20170830_011101.jpg
Personal Use
for wallpaper for their own pc, laptop and mobile devices - Only!
But there are many who will blatantly steal them for claiming as their own works.
My message is to prosecute anyone stealing other's work and claiming ownership!

You do some awesome work! Do you provide some kind of license for the free wallpaper usage? I notice some groups on Steemit offering their work free on Steemit, but I don’t think they are providing any usage licenses like a Creative Commons one for protection.

Thanks very much! I use a statement which basically says - You can use the image for your personal computer and mobile devices wallpaper only - then add my copyright and name.

Pretty simple. People who are going to steal your work don't care about copyright, they will steal it anyway and claim ownership. You have to find them doing it and prosecute, or not, most don't!
