PSA: Gotta blog? Use images in it? Be very careful about the images you use.
Readers may discover some images on this blog might be disabled going back to 2012.
The reason is one ‘professional litigant’ who apparently sniffs around blogs & websites for allegedly-stolen images. Claiming infringement even in fair-use cases, they use SLAPP suits and extortion to supplement their artistic income.
In hundreds of cases.
Not mine, but someone I know fell afoul of this copyright pirate.
I’ve always tried to around things I’ve used in this blog (if I wasn’t using my own photos), but I can’t be sure. So I removed some stuff.
Due to the wonders of internet tracking, I can tell that *someone* from that person’s general area was sniffing around my blog this week.
Go away.
