Be careful whom you plagiarise!

April 9, 2006

Some girl in America has linked to an image on my site without asking permission, taking the sunset from a diving holiday in the Red Sea and using it as her background. She didn’t even make a copy of my image – she linked directly to it, taking my bandwidth and not even crediting me with the photo, although I think that’s more some image sharing site’s fault, rather than anything malicious on her part:

Here’s her lovely MySpace page, before my improvements:

Before...

And here’s her site after I decided to have a little fun by renaming some files on my site and moving a few things around:

After!

The site has been updated since, to undo the improvement, but not before several visitors remarked at how… curious her new background was.
