But even worse, they hotlinked ot all my pictures! (plus a few of someone elses). So I reported them to Ebay, but not before I changes my first image to a nice little message for anyone who reads it. In retrospect, I should have changed it to donkey porn, but I think this will do fine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6931542686

It took the seller 3 days before they noticed it! In retrospect, I should have done the donkey porn too...

If Ebay hasn't cancelled his auction in a day or 2 though, I might just do it. It would be very funny to see a page of donkey lovin' on his auction!

I'm a graduate Ontario College of Art, but now I work as a copywriter at a big bad advertising agency. I'm really quite a nice person despite all that, and I like avocados a lot. Thankyou." "Note: this illustration was swiped from Michiko (whose fabulous drawings can be found at http://www.michiko.com). I altered it some to look like me. May the gods of copyright (and Michiko) have mercy on my soul." So Jane what I gather here is that it is not ok to copy pictures that you copied from a book, BUT it is ok to take another artists image change it to look like you and not ask permission. I think I need help with this, is this double standard? I can understand your being upset about someone hotlinking to your pictures but you took an artists art and changed it, if that was Shag I wonder what would happen.

I can understand your being upset about someone hotlinking to your pictures but you took an artists art and changed it, if that was Shag I wonder what would happen. Three really big differences here: Tikifish is not seeking to gain anything financially through the use of this graphic. As a matter of fact, it's kinda buried at her site. Tikifish completely fesses up in clear plain text right next to the picture that this graphic is borrowed from Michiko, and even directs people to Michiko's website. Most importantly, while Tikifish makes with the funny about Michiko having mercy on her, my understanding is that Michiko actually has given her okay on Tikifish using her graphic. That's all a world away from a lazy seller stealing Tikifish's text and pictures.
T TheMuggler Tiki Socialite Brooklyn, NY Joined: Mar 26, 2002 Posts: 293	T TheMuggler Posted posted on Mon, Oct 11, 2004 1:01 PM Drop the question of the content of the pictures themselves and consider the fact that the seller stole BANDWIDTH from tikifish by hot linking off her server. Anyone who pays for a server knows that bandwidth costs money, so hot linking the images is stealing MONEY. Cold, hard cash. Was that your little auction, Toa?

Pappa-tiki is my ebay name feel free to check. And my aim was to make light of the topic, and believe me I have learned not to mess with moderator fish. :)

I cannot believe it never occured to me to change my pix to something naughty after someone else hijacked my image links. I just got mad and fumed for a while. Jane, you never cease to amaze me.
