I had to click all the way through to the "contact us" page to find the statement at the very bottom of the page in 4 point type.<BR/><BR/>If you have not clearly stated who and what is copyrighted, web crawlers such as Google © will ferret out your work and republish it under their copyright, which is NOT akin to what Ms. Benedict did. She after all linked you which, though maybe you don’t want or need the traffic, is a tacit admission of your copyright. <BR/><BR/>Once Google © or some other web crawler has your work under copyright it will cost you up to $400 dollars to reclaim it: ergo the need for a clearly stated front page intent of copyright.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465814199245472416.post-57216156004576412692009-01-23T11:30:00.000-05:002009-01-23T11:30:00.000-05:00Thanks, Anne.

I had put a link to the page at the end of the post--which I try to do if I use a contemporary picture--so readers could see your lovely blog and where the picture came from. I've left it up for the curious....Laura Benedicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474185786017084327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465814199245472416.post-21239554900345187182009-01-23T11:11:00.000-05:002009-01-23T11:11:00.000-05:00hey you are using a photo of mine from my blog (wh...hey you are using a photo of mine from my blog (which has a copyright, BTW) . . . it would have been courteous of you to ask before taking it, especially since you are a published author. just sayin'.knitspot annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261226333872796681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465814199245472416.post-75941753489178209292009-01-22T16:54:00.000-05:002009-01-22T16:54:00.000-05:00Oh Laura congrats!
