Kastellorozio, Greece

NOTE: wanderlusteurope keeps on brazenly posting the images from other blogs. I’ve found almost half of his archive is coincident with my posts. Other half is from allthingseurope. He has rarely made reblog, instead kept on pretending as if those are his original posts, and never placed each photographer’s credit/link.

I asked him twice to stop doing so, but there’s no response. Therefore I block him, and report him as an abusive user. Usually these “sub-hacking” things happen on the beginner users with no knowledge about the copyright. That’s O.K., understandable. But he’s violating habitually, intentionally and methodically. (Since all the posts are from popular bloggers’ pages which have over 100 notes. (Some are 1,000+.)

How I knew the fact he’s hacking my posts: some of my posts are trimmed the unnecessary frames, then color/contrast edited. Those are downloadable files, anybody can notice the difference between before/after, visible changes from the original downloaded photos to my edited/uploaded files. So when he posted my (many) edited images, I knew he captured (or simply hacked) from my pages. It’s not only a couple of times, almost of his posts are from other bloggers, then he pretended as if he was the original poster.

Tumblr friends, please stop following those habitual sub-hackers/pretenders. They are as ugly and sleazy as that infamous Chinese Apple Store.
