We Won!
Remember about a month ago I asked which of the snow dogs photos I should submit to for the Ruffdogs Forum Photo Contest?
This was the last picture of the group and was the one that ended up being chosen for the entry. Can you believe it actually won! How incredibly exciting! Emily the graphic guru made up this banner for the forum and it will be showcased for the next month. I also get to choose the theme for the next contest. Any suggestions? ‘Cuz I haven’t got a clue.
An interesting side note on the photos from the previous post, they were stolen and someone tried to pass them off as their own on their site! I “try” to watermark all my photos to discorage photo theft, but some people are just so incredibly brazen they dont even care. I just happened to find out from Jan of the Poodle and Dog Blog – thanks Jan! By chance, she happened along the blog and entry through the Dog Times News. She thought the title looked familiar so she clicked on it and there were MY photos, MY text and the idot asshat was trying to pass them off as his. I contacted Blog Times News and Blogger and nothing was done about it so I was left to take matters in my own hands by removing the photos from my own blog and leaving a few nasty grams on the page – the idiot was hotlinking my photos, stealing my bandwidth just to add insult to injury. Once they were removed, I reloaded them with a different name. I was sooo mad! I felt completely violated. Now I know how Biggies’s mom felt!
Copyright means DONT USE WITH OUT PERMISSION ASSHAT! You know who you are!
First, congrats on your win!!! That is pawesome! Secondly, what a jerk for stealing your photos! How do you post photos and prevent people from being able to copy them…I have been wondering that myself!

Congratulations on your win.
When I first started blogging I had quite a few posts stolen, complete with graphics. It’s important to make a big fuss about it and not let the m get away with it. Sometimes they are just stupid, sometimes they’re thieves. But by stealing your bandwidth, I think they were just…asshats.

Boy that really stinks about someone taking your photos and passing them off as their own. I can’t imagine why people think that is OK. Grrr.

Firstly, paw Apollo. I sure hope his ears get better soon and that his hair loss is not serious….
Secondly: Congratulations on your winning photo, you deserved it, fantasic models and of course you know we love your piccies but in my humble opinion, the models really make it, I know it’s a dogs perspective but hey I am a dog.
Lastly, there seems to be alot of websites ripping our material right now. I’m gonna ask Dad about info on photo’s and maybe highlight the copyright thingy a bit more on my blog.
Love to you all
