It has come to my attention that a few individuals use the photography from
this site for their own gains. So there's a little clarification about
that:
- The Internet is a vast place, but that doesn't mean rules don't apply. Just because things are posted for everyone to see doesn't imply that they're free to be taken.
- All the images on this site ARE copyrighted work, and as such require permission to be used commercially. Non-commercial use, regardless of cultures, usually requires at least acknowledging the author.
- You are not given permission to train AI models on photography from this site. I've taken preventive measures to make mass scrapping of images as difficult as possible, so the more you try, the more fortified this site gets.
- I do not like that my images are being taken as item descriptions for eBay auctions. I'm pretty much aware that I can do little about it, so I can say this - they're protected - subtly, but easily to be recognized, even if you try to disguise them (there were a few that have tried already). If you still try to use them, you're a jerk and you'd better stay away from me.
- I generally do not mind when my images are used in blogs, profiles, community pages etc. - I still however would like to hear about that BEFORE THEM BEING USED, and not from server logs.
