Road trip in Iceland 2016







A photo thief



Part 1: someone updated their timeline photo in Facebook. It looked... very similar to mine... which I had once posted in FB. I was unpleasantly surprised to find the exact same photo on someone else's page. The photo is not copyrighted, but after this incident it is. Use my photos by all means, but tell me beforehand. Jerk.

 
 
Part 2: I got 16 thumbs up for my photo, on someone else's page. Probably more than on my own page. Switzerland? Not quite. My first question was "where was the photo taken". Wrong answer.
Shortly after this the post was removed. How embarrassing. Not my embarrassment, but hers. It's not right to borrow something without permission, no matter what it is. Still, I don't expect an apology and I don't even want one, but next time this sort of thing shouldn't happen. Anyway I got it all copied and pasted in a document and do I plan to post it somewhere more public.. I don't know. I don't think I have to, but some public humiliation would be kind of awesome.
