I’m a huge fan of people sharing information through fair use and attribution, but this clearly abides by neither. Philippine event organizer Dimitri Productions stole a photograph of Filipina gamer Alodia Gosiengfiao by Filipina photographer Tricia Gosingtian. They replaced Alodia’s head with a globe and used the photo in posters for their Earth Day Jam [...]Concert Producer Steals Filipina Blogger’s Photo

Aw man. That is evil!
Hi. Just like what I’ve told for a lot of times already, to clarify and avoid people from spamming and leaving harsh comments on my blog, I am in no way connected with the organizers of the event. Everything is good and clear between me and the photo owner.
Just to quote what Tricia have said:
“Thanks. Yes, I’m in the process of contacting them already. My friend’s been contacting them as well. I’m sorry if I brought a bit of attention to your blog. I knew that you weren’t a part of it, though I guess some people didn’t get it easily. :] â€
And this:
“I’m so sorry for the problems that this issue has caused you. I already put on my main website that you are not in any way affiliated with the company. I really apologize for the mess we’ve brought to your blog. I just hope people actually read mine before they react.â€
Thanks..=)
what you are saying is down right mean. do you have any proof to support your claim that the company isn’t doing anything?
Lionel: Evil and stupid.
Ed: I know.
Emily: To quote Alodia’s mom, “All they could offer are VIP tickets to the concert and an announcement of the proper credits to be done during the show. I couldn’t divulge any further as Tricia and her lawyer are taking over the driver’s seat on what legal action to come up with after their formal letter was also being ignored.”
“VIP tickets” to a free concert? A passing “announcement” after the fact? That’s less than nothing.
Whoa, and you really had to insult the owners of Dimitri Productions. You really had to. Ugh.
Did you ever think that those VIP tickets were a for-the-meantime peace offering? Do you actually believe that the organizers actually allowed their hired designer to rip a photo? For all you know, they unfortunately happened to have hired an amateur. It’s a nonprofit event so perhaps they don’t have much to spare on designers. Ever think of that?
You know why the true mainstream media think that blogs like yours are worthless? Because you insert your own biases and fucked up opinions. No direct and complete quotes (from both sides), no numbers, nothing. Just a couple of misleading links to back up misleading words. Totally zero credibility there. Not all blogs are as useless as yours though. But it’s spam like yours that makes things worse.
