Watchers

There are so many great artists and photographers on here. You work so hard for your pictures, drawings and much more. Yet idiots come around and abuse it, saving and stealing it for their own purposes. I've watched this go on to many people, even myself, rarely getting involved. But when I finally confronted someone, for saying they were an Approved Page by SeaWorld and stealing pictures, I get whacked.

I started the message by merely saying, 'Your page is definitely not approved. Stop stealing other people's pictures'. What I get in return? They rudely ask if I'm an anti-captivity from PETA. They go further, calling me an idiot.

I'm sarcastic almost by nature, but I did not insult them in the inbox. I clearly stated their faults, and that they could go right by removing stolen pictures or at least asking for permission. Now however, this particular 'whale', Sakari Orca, has spread to her whole circle of groupies that I'M the bad one. She has gotten a few of her friends trying to block me, when they are the ones doing the wrong.

I've never posted a Journal before, but I'm really aggravated by this. My privacy has been sacrificed, and she still refuses to remove the stolen pictures. Reporting them goes a long way  - just last night Takara Orca was deleted for a second time, due to stolen content.

Help! And explore through the other whales, orca community. You sadly might find your own work on here as well.

There are various others too, just look through their wall or mutual friends.

Thank you to everyone who helps out!

And I wish you all the best holiday!


***UPDATE***
Sakari Orca's account just got removed from Facebook! Thank goodness. Sadly, they have a tendency to recreate accounts and try again. But at least I can say that we won round One ;)

Next time you see a blackbird strutting around, realise it is an individual with its own experiences and personality, rather than a mindless machine driven by instincts.

If a tree falls and no one is there to hear it... what's your favourite animal?
