I fully understand "Intellectual Property Rights" and copyright. Kind of have to.

So, the 1st time I was accused via Redbubble Email of IP violation, it shocked the beejeebus out of me, and pissed me off, as I was 'guilty until I proved myself innocent". (UBISOFT claiming my "Assassin's Guild" photo series, the one that predates their games by over a year was an IP violation. I shuffled through all the legals and hoops, proved myself innocent, my work was reinstated, as UBISOFT does NOT own copyright of the word "Assassin".

Last month, I get hit with another one. For an original artwork. Fighting this one too, because:

1: It's an original artwork. A digitally created portrait, using an art program.
2: Song titles themselves are not copyrightable
3: There is no music involved, no audio, no video (see #1)
4: There are literally HUNDREDS of other portraits of the same person on the same site.

What really gets me burning is the "Guilty before you prove yourself innocent" bullshit.

I got this from Redbubble after having these photos, that I took in 2007, on their site were taken down because of IP violation. Huh?

I'm the only one who has the rights to these images. I never signed my rights over, I am the photographer, it was my camera. I even own the objects IN the photos. I have sent a counter claim, attached scaled down versions of the images with the EXIF data still intact with a "please explain". I want to know who made the complaint.

Wing and I managed to see the "Scattered Light" art display in King's Park. I brought my 5D and E-P3 to take photos. The E-P3 did 'ok', but did suffer from noise.

I took two photos of the lights from a really low perspective, with wide open aperture to get a nice bokeh look. I posted them on Facebook, and was asked if I would be uploading them to my Redbubble site, as he wanted to buy a print of it.

Now, I've heard this before, sort of smiled, nodded at the message and said yes, it would be.

I uploaded it, and less than 10 mins later I get an email notifying me that someone bought a print.

Less than one hour after I'd taken the photo, I sold a print of this:





This was the other photograph I took.

anysia: (RAWR!)
Redbubble now offers iPad and iPhone cases, so I decided to dust off some of my digital and fractal artwork, and make them for said objects.

I do wish they had cases for other items, like Galaxy SII or SIII. Oh well. I don't want a case bad enough to jump to the 'i' brand.

But I make another sale on Redbubble. A framed print of this:



It's a good feeling to see your planned out work become 'artwork'.

Did a bit of local sight seeing, Pearl Lugger Museum, China Town, the Japanese/Chinese cemetery. Wing kinda figured out that walking me to exhaustion isn't conducive for fun vacation.

Got a swim suit for me, and I spent about 20 minutes in the pool when we got back. Felt great, feet stopped throbbing and knee felt much better.

Got an email from Redbubble. After two+ months they ' moderated'(aka deleted) one of my posts because although I didn't name anyone, or single out a group, the ones playing favorites felt picked upon and sicced Redbubble Admin on me. Boo f*cking hoo. The ones who went whining didn't like how I pointed out they were constantly playing favorites, ignoring and kicking back other work that in some cases were identical to the ones they were giving a pass to. Guess their guilt
conscience caught up with them and they went crying to mommy and daddy. I stand by my original statement... Screw 'em.

Not hardly.

I'm not a shit stirrer, but when I see blatant favoritism, or bias, I will speak out. Politely, but firmly.

Last year, I submitted a photo to a certain group on Redbubble. It was accepted. A few month ago, I submitted another photo. It was rejected. I found this odd because after looking through the photos on the group, I found over 10 in 30 seconds that had same lighting, same composition, just different subject or location.

I questioned about it and was give the lamest excuses, and said moderators called in their calvary to berate me (the damning with faint praise variety so it had a semblance of politeness). I backed off. Funnily enough, every photo I have submitted to this group has been rejected, even if I duplicated someone else's photo (I don't mean copied, or stole, but made one of the same layout, lighting etc etc)

Yesterday, I submitted a photo to that group again. It was rejected out of hand. What got me is this: the photo I submitted last year, was the same composition, lighting, clarity, reflection just different location and was accepted. I called them on it, and again, the calvary arrived, popped onto my own journal to again chastise me for daring to speak out about bias and sulky mods. One of them linked to the conversation of the group. I deleted the comment, and asked to please not link without my permission. He complained. I said "Did I name anyone? Did I name group? No, and I intended to keep it that way".

My journal is for me, not them. If they don't like it, don't read it.

Oddly enough, I got a few dozen bubblemails (Redbubble message system) from others who felt the same way I did about how images are rejected even though examples of almost identical images could be found that had been accepted.

I think the best solution is to just bail from that group. They want to keep featuring/accepting the same clique of friends over and over.. their loss.

I asked hale and healthy males of the house, several times, to get the leaf vacuum/mulcher busy and clean up the front yard and nothing coming of it. Then I just asked one of them to get it out for me.

When that didn't happen, I signed up for the USS OMYFEWKINGACHINGBACK, and did it myself. I used it on the front area, and no more dried purple flowers from the Jacaranda tree, and gum leaves have been vacuumed, mulched and distributed on the front yard. Smells pretty good, too.

After a well deserved (and needed) shower, I sat down and put some 2011 calendars together. Bengals (as in pedigree cats), Big Cats (Lions and tigers, no bears! But cheetahs!), Aussie Birds, and Exotic Animals.
