But when you purchase an image you are entering in such an agreement, so that is like comparing apples to oranges. It is more like purchase a book or CD as stated in my post. It is my hope that by explaining this people will come to understand what they are buying, and that by circumenting the purchasing agreement and law they are going to end up putting many small stamp companies out of business.<br />Thank you everyone for your comments.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14061294295376713033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644533158968288949.post-87234074894950130822011-09-06T19:32:43.405-04:002011-09-06T19:32:43.405-04:00Same reason I give brownies to my friends.

If I had to pay for it hun, you gotta pay for it too! When I first joined the online crafting community (back when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth)I belonged to yahoo groups that swapped all kinds of images and I didn't understand why anyone would be upset about it. One day it just clicked! How unfair for the artists! So I removed EVERY SINGLE IMAGE that I had in my computer which was collected that way. Now what I have was either purchased by me, or the artist/company gave it out as a freebie themselves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11295095869228184404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644533158968288949.post-17684507866699817162011-09-06T10:13:27.140-04:002011-09-06T10:13:27.140-04:00This is a real bug bear of mine too and I've o...This is a real bug bear of mine too and I've often see people selling stamped images on ebay. I've reported them as have many other people but it still goes on. I hadn't heard about these swaps over the internet but am appalled to think it goes on.<br />I really hope this form of 'stealing' is wiped out soon.cockney blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04688651922139493266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644533158968288949.post-80215456587936857802011-09-06T03:06:25.002-04:002011-09-06T03:06:25.002-04:00I have never heard of anyone doing this but if I d...I have never heard of anyone doing this but if I do I will call them on it. Really isnt fair to artists. And I am speaking as someone who absolutely cannot afford to buy images or stamps. I live on a very small fixed income. I depend on winning challenges and the freebies that artists are so generous to share and I still have plenty to work with. So no excuse for someone to steal anothers work.Christina Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932957085115574069noreply@blogger.com
