She is trained in pilates. She has every right to use that illustration, as do the "hundred other sites" you mention, on her business cards, on her studio, and here on this post. The photos are, as I said, of her.
As I said, an apology is in order.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Don't ask for so hard things these days... "apology"(?) what does it even mean in 2018?
I guess you're right. That belongs to the old days when people still had honor.
Oh WOW, so she is even using it for her business.
I'm "sure" then, that she must have been paid the author for that kind of commercial use use as well (not only for Steemit publishing commercial purposes).
BTW - you have been around long enough to know it better.
And in that sense, if someone owes the apology to whom, then you just owe me the one.
Apology for what ? For pointing out plagiarism ? Or for bad photo quality? Maria could at least step up and explain (or apologize) not let her friends do the talking.
She has read those comments and still haven't removed the photo or at least referred to the source
It is her very first post. She knows nothing about the platform yet. I was not the one who told her about steemit, but I am happy to see her here. And I welcome her and wish her a good journey with us.
The apology would be for making a rude, jealous and vindictive comment rather than a kind and welcoming greeting with suggestions for improvement and pointers as to where she may have erred.
well i don't see any sources link at your first posts
@ana-maria62
And the same goes to you @annabi at this post
ALL you little pointy fingers ! LOL
Explain yourselfs now please
If you point out photo, it's made by me :) You can check it, I also have it on my website.
Also got verified by Steemcleaners.
If you point out content, i have rights to redistribute it however i want
I'm sorry that I didn't see this comment earlier @rouketas, but as you didn't tag me properly (purposely or not), I'm aware of it just now, when another user drow my attention to it.
But to answer your "pointing finger" comment...
In all my posts (or at least 99% of them), including the first ones, I'm using my own photos or the photos from Pixabay.com (which are under the CC0 Creative Commons license, free for commercial use and with NO attribution required).
Therefore, and just for your information, I didn't need and I don't need to put a source for any of these! (Although, now and for quite some time by now I'm doing that even for them too, just because of those people who don't care for someone else's authors rights.) When I use other sources (if they are free to use and free to use for commercial purposes) I give a proper attribution.
Accordingly, the post you've linked to contains the photos, images and/or illustrations from Pixabay.com, some of which I changed, by that creating my own derivative work (what I'm also allowed to do with Pixabay photos) for the purpose of my article.
The same applies even to the (arrow) GIF as it's, in fact, my own creation. This GIF is created with several images and illustration from Pixabay. Again, my own derivative work!
And last, but not least, for "smart ones" as you apparently wanted to be, and just in case, I keep the records for every single source that I have ever used (no matter if for my online or offline publishing).
So, to conclude...
My dear finger pointer, who didn't do your research well or even at all, you pointed your finger at the wrong direction!!!
P.S. (edited)
And now, also seeing @annaabi's reply to you, it seems it wasn't only a wrong direction, it was in fact wrong directionS!!!
