A Rant

Do not come on my blog and tell me not to have a 'shit fit' when someone takes a scan of mine and posts it on tumblr without crediting. I buy these expensive books and scan the photos to share with whoever follows this blog, the least you could do is cite my blog as a source if you're going to be taking the pictures and posting them somewhere else. Is that not the nice and respectful thing to do? No, I didn't take these photos, but I usually credit the photographer or the blog where I get the pictures from, unless I don't know who the photographer is, or if the pictures are quite common and everyone has them. And if you supposedly have a better version of one of the pictures that I've scanned, as that anonymous person claimed, well damn, post your better version then, don't take mine without credit.

  1. Hello, I really do understand your anger and rant and I just wanted to apologise to you; but I've not just taken your photographs without citing the source - your blog. If you click on the pictures you'll always get to your adorable blog. I stop taking your pictures in the future and I hope you're not that mad at me...
    I really do appreciate your scans and work you put in!

  2. Oh no, I'm not mad at you! The rant was directed toward an anonymous person who left a rude comment. Like I said, I don't mind if you take my scans as long as they link back to my blog. And thank you for your nice comment!!

  3. Oh dear you can't imagine how relieved I feel right now! Oh anonymous people often seem like one rude person who wants to annoy every single person on earth -.-
    And yes of course they'll always link back to your blog - they're not mine and I would never steal a work others put their effort in it!
    Keep your wonderful work up!
