Three Thousand and other social media parasites

Friday, June 12th, 2009

On Tuesday I posted a review of the new Fitzroy cafe called Felice’s. By Thursday morning Three Thousand had stolen a photo from my post, paraphrased my text and published their own story by editor Penny Modra.

Neil from Melbourne Metblogs commented on my Felice post about the use of my image on Three Thousand. It’s a cropped version of one of my photos. When you place it over my original there is no doubt it is my image – it fits exactly. The exact position and angle I was standing in to take the photo cannot be replicated. No permission was given for its use.
