It has been quite a long while since I last updated my blog. I have been monitoring it, though, and am glad to note that many foodies are still visiting my blog regularly. For this, I thank you. Glad that you appreciate my recipes and I hope you had as much fun as I did creating and posting them.
However, it is rather disappointing to note that there are people out there who are hijacking my photos, without any credit being given or permission asked. It was a total shock to see photos of my kuih and cookies on other websites, even photos of my beloved cat. There is one particular site which is located in Indonesia. Pages after pages of my photos are displayed so blatantly. There was no permission requested nor is there any link to my blog. If you google the name of my blog, you will see what I mean. This is so despicable I now know how singers feel when their songs are downloaded or pirated.
Seriously, I have no objection if foodies print and download my recipes for their own use. It seem to be downright unethical to use my photos and recipes on their website or blogs, as if they created them.
To maintain my right to photos I painstakingly took and posted, I may now have to re-post all my photos and add my name. Like the one below.
It is indeed sad to have to resort to such a step. It will involve a lot of work and editing. The advantage to all this hardwork is websites and blogs which have hijacked my photos will then be so visible and exposed.
