No Taming This Shrew
After using an image off another blog, this writer, Megarita, gets a note from its owner objecting to its use. It's an experience that serves as a framework for a good
discussion on some of copyright and fair use issues. Megarita deserves our thanks for writing about this common practice. (Thanks to Reya for spotting this one) I had an interesting note from a fellow in New York today. Turned out I'd boosted an image of his for the blog. I try to be somewhat aware of what I copy, and I often use my own photos, but his language discussed my actions as theft and copyright infringement, which took me aback. I took down his photo, per his request, but I'm wondering about this phenomenon on a larger scale.

Our writer, Heather, is having CalBar letter problems and is looking for advice.
The post begins cleverly.And I don't mean listening to my cube-mate talk about how she wishes people wouldn't call the police when she hits her children in public. Or how I hang up on every single person I try to transfer. Both of those are problems, but not the ones I'm concerned about at the moment.

For what it means, my blog will soon become a DC blog...just to give a heads up...right now, it's just an odd blog.
Thanks to Reya and DC Blogs for the coverage -- I've never had so many hits about a topic before (bandwidth theft). Many thanks for reading, as always!
Has anyone else seen the fake Tai Shan blog? http://bstick.blogspot.com/
Isn't the mania over the panda heavy enough?
Terry: Why would you want to leave windblown Florida? You're now listed.
Megarita: You are most welcome. Great post.
Abra and Butterstick: Why hasn't this been reported in the Washington Panda?
KOB - Thanks for the nod. I've become an avid DC Blogs reader for some interesting & quality writing from around the city, so it's flattering to get noted here.
