When I posted the previous entry, I also alerted Facebook on a "copyright" issue. (If you click on a picture it says underneath something like "Is this your copyright"). I gave them the offending images and gave them the link to my pictures. Within 6(!) hours this was the reply from FB:

FacebookI was really surprised that when it comes to these type of things, even big organizations can be very effective.
The same morning I received the reply from FB, "Amirah" also replied, apologized and mentioned that it was not her intention to "steal" as she is not good in taking pictures and picked pictures randomly from the net. In a second email she again apologizes and asks to have the FB image removed from my blog.
So, Amirah, here is my response:
1) Apology accepted, but not your reasoning.
2) You seem to be smart enough to crop out my watermark on the picture so I do not see why you should plagiarize other people's images. If you take something which belongs to someone else without their permission it is called stealing - as simple as that. Also, your pictures are not really "random" - almost all were from my blog (including your profile picture).
3) I will not take it any further.. just want this to be a lesson for everyone..and Amirah, because of that I will not remove the FB image.
This episode should go out to anybody out there who think it is correct to copy and paste without acknowledging the source. Even I copy recipes from other places, but it is always accompanied with a reference.
