Yet another case of stolen images
Filed under: Playground Bureau, Gadgets, That's Entertainment
On the heels of J.D. Griffieon's discovery of stolen images followed by the Orkut controversy, it seems another popular blogger has become a victim of image theft.Brenda Ponnay has delighted her readers for years at her personal website, Secret Agent Josephine, with her parenting tales and amazing illustrations. In fact, just recently, ParentDish wrote about her darling Baby Bug Alphabet Flashcards that she generously created for her readers to download.
Unfortunately, Brenda was recently informed of a parenting website geared towards mothers using one of her illustrations as the website's main marketing logo.
Adding insult to injury, not only was this website using her illustration as the main masthead, they were selling 34 "branded" items with Brenda's illustration printed on each and every one. Can you imagine? Your personal creations unknowingly plastered on a bunch of mugs and t-shirts?
To protect her work, Brenda has decided to take down all of her illustrations and galleries for the time being. It's unfortunate that this situation will prevent her fans from sharing in her great talent.

Caroline said...SAJ rules! As do her illustrious illustrations. Sending much love her way - and hoping she receives some sort of compensation for the theft.

Laura said...The stealing is really getting too much. I've also been a victim of theft, the most recent case being photos of my niece in a tutu were put on a HUGE tutu store website... and what's sick is the tutu wasn't made by them yet they used MY photos for advertising! A friend made the tutu herself! I've watermarked my images but they just crop it out. I either stop posting them online or I mark them across the center.. sigh...
