Rant on my images getting ripped off without atribution </rant>Was watching a telly tonight I saw you can search for copies of images on the web, thought I'd try it out on one of my own images from a couple of years back on b3ta. Seems it appears elsewhere quite a lot... Either as the original image or with new banner text to suit the website's chosen audience, either anti-europhiles or the Scottish voting public for some reason. Could be worse...
The original:
The rip offs:
From the nicely titled http://the-bastard.com
and same image in this blog. Not sure who ripped off who there.
Stick it to the man in Brussels with these:
from eureferendum.com
and using the same image from britanniaradio
Or just crop the heading and using it for something related to the Scottish referendum.. yeah that will be fine
from scotspolitics.com
Finally the most ambitious rip off, change the heading and paste in some skewed text on the sign from scotlandsaysyes.com

How would they know who to attribute it to if you didn't tag it?You should be flattered.

Yep, any kind of identifier.For example Beau Bo D'Or's current FP image has gone viral thanks to Reddit - he put his twitter thingie on it now the world knows him.

Ta interesting article, remember Instagram backing down when people didn't like the idea if losing copyright to anything on Instagram. But now it's kinda happened anyway.

People obviously like it, which I say means you shouldmake more stuff and tag it next time!
(not that people don't just crop tags)
