Unoriginal Thinking

Yesterday, a friend of mine in Japan posted on Facebook that his fantastic Kanji flaschard teaching products are being digitally reproduced from his site, without permission, by someone.  Max and his partner have spent thousands of hours developing these products for sale.  (As an aside, if you are going to Tokyo, you MUST consider their Tokyo Tours downloads, they will make Tokyo so much more interesting!

Here is the original site: http://www.whiterabbitpress.com/

Having been a victim of  this kind of thing several times over the past few years with my site http://www.littlewonders.com.tw/, and having had product and product images, descriptions and so on taken by both indivduals selling online and registered companies, I want to remind people to keep their eyes open to such things if they start creating content or product of any kind.

Here is an image Richard made a few months ago.  On the left is my daughter, modelling the Swedish-made Imse Vimse swimwear I import.  On the right is Hannah again, totally photoshopped by a Chinese manufacturer of "Pingu" (not the licensed one) swimsuits.  If you see this picture used anywhere, please let me know, as we are still  looking for them, all over Asia...
