Looking for a Program
There are some good thoughts and a bad testimony over at The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far. A friend of hers has had blog content stolen and plagiarized.
So where the recording industry and big government now, for us, the little guy?
Rrrrright.
A few weeks ago, I’d found that someone had plagiarized my travel blog’s account of our trip to Cooperstown. The creeps. What concerns me(not to downplay anything else, however) is the theft of photographs and such. I’d read that if you upload your photos to Google, then Google has permission to do with them as they please, forever. Surprise, surprise. Flickr has authority for as long as you leave your photos on their service. It’s a very touchy issue. It is also skewed (still no surprises) to protect the greedy corporation and punish the little guy. How can the recording industry slam consumers like they do and yet plagiarism and theft goes unnoticed as long as we are victims?
I am looking for a photo watermarking program. I have been for about six months now. Haven’t found too much (I prefer free!). If you come across a good one, please let me know.

Oh, ew! Blog plagiarism is just terrible. But the photo issue is why I host my pictures on my own server, instead of using Flickr or Picasa. I don’t know if it protects me any more or less, but it does give me more control over how they’re displayed and perhaps more leverage if someone steals them.
Also, I’m really annoyed at the change Blogger made in commenting. I like getting follow-up comments, but I have a few separate blogging identities, one of which doesn’t have a Blogger account and never will! It’s very irritating.
Oh, and let me add–I use my album program, Jalbum (jalbum.net) to watermark my photos. You can see what I’m talking about on my album pages.
that’s lauriebird.com/photos STUPID BLOGGER!
Thanks, Laurie! I’ve checked out Jalbum and really like it! I love your birdy blog, too!
I’ve considered putting photos on my web host’s server, but I have over 300 photos online already at different places. To transfer them all to my new web host would be quite time-consuming. I may have to bite the bullet, though.
Thanks for your input.
