ABOUT ME,  copyright

Without permission

September 15, 2010 /

I know, when I put them all up in my blog, they’ll appear in the google search. And google, being a giant search engine always has this remark: “This image may be subject to copyright.” And people who search for images, sometimes are being just plain ignorant. They copied it down directly without giving thoughts of checking the website/blog for information regarding the images.

Today, I went to Genting Highland and found out that my merdeka girl illustration is being used as photostated greeting cards by BION SB Management as greeting cards and they stapled some pieces over their ticketing counter.

I did mentioned in my TERMS OF USE, that:

You can:

1. use (as is) my illustrations/photos/verses to accompany your posts.

2. download and print as personal greeting cards; to share any illustrations/photos/verses with other individuals you care about.

In all cases, my name, Emila Yusof with link to my blog https://emilayusof.com MUST be included.

POSTS in this context are BLOG POSTS.

PERSONAL GREETING CARDS literally means just that; personal greeting cards. They cannot be seen as public decorations or as such, including photostated ones.

INDIVIDUALS YOU CARE ABOUT means your mother, father, sister, grandfather, grandmother, brother, cousin, second cousin, auntie, uncle as such. PUBLIC is so not included.

According to dictionary, the word PERSONAL is a definition that means “relating to somebody’s private life: relating to the parts of somebody’s life that are private”.

I am putting this explanation up in my terms-of-use page.
