If you see any rare images on my site that you like I don't mind you saving them on your own accord and keeping them for yourself or for personal use but if you would like to use my images on your own website I would appreciate it if you gave credit where it is due. Also on that note if you come across my page and see an image you may think is your own and I havn't linked it to your page than please let me know. When I reuse images from someone elses personal website I will try my best to give the appropriate credit. Although with alot of the images I use from the bigger companies like ebay or the large archiving companies like Corbis, Life and Getty I won't link the page to it. If I find an image from flickr, photobucket or a website someone else has designed themselves, than I will defiantly link their page to the photo.
I am a big Jayne fan, I conduct Jayne searches regularly and know of many websites of her. I find it frustrating when I upload some of my own rare photos and a day later they are sitting on someone elses website without a link to my page in the caption. That is why I now watermark my more rare images that I have had on me for a while now. I would prefer not to have to do it because I know alot of people don't like watermarked images, I certainly don't like them. And the whole point of me doing this site is so I can share what I have with other Jayne fans. I guess I'm just the small guy and I like to receive my own credit I don't like to take other people's credit and I don't want anyone taking mine in return.
I put the time into creating this keep calm sign all myself. The minute I put it online someone got rid of my web page link off the top and posted it as their own. Now I see this image all over the place like this;
No one knows who made it and no one really cares. But I do. Writers don't want to be plagiarized and neither do I.
