Re: NoPosted by Anne Beltestad on May 24, 2001 at 21:18:50: In reply to: No posted by Catherine Cartwright Jones on May 24, 2001 at 21:15:22: OK Catherine,No more will come from me unless you ask me to! ;) Anne : I certainly appreciate your loyalty and enthusiam ... and on the forum : we've worked together many times against copyright violators and other : problems and accomplished great good. : : In this case.... I'm deciding what I want to do. : : For the moment, don't spam, because this person certainly has had two : opportunities to correct this matter and had decided not to, so : spamming may not be the answer. : : I have all the information on his business, address, host, etc..., : (thank you to the person who located all that for me!) and I'm : considering carefully what action to take. Written into this person's : contract is the requirement to not infringe copyright ... so if I : report this to the email contact in front of me .... his website will : get flushed. : : I respect copyright law on principle. If I was unwilling to share : what little knowledge and skill I have, I would not have posted and : shared anything, ever. Some henna artists won't part with any : information except in exchange for cold hard cash. I could have : simply always demanded people purchase information from me ... but : because of my temperment and love for henna, I am more comfortable : with giving things away. That does not mean I am comfortable with : having them stolen. : : If I were to back down, I feel that would set a bad example for the : many other artists here who have been plaigerized on the web and off. : I also do not want to back down because so many of you have offered me : wonderful support in the past, finding voilators, and standing behind : me when I challenged their theft. I owe this forum the loyalty it has : shown me. : : I will give this one another nights thought before I act. Perhaps : EVERYONE'S patterns included on that website in violation of copyright : law will magically disappear, and nothing more will need to be said. : There are violations against several people there. It would be very : nice if all those violations were corrected the easy way, : cooperatively, without a great bother!
