I had to go creative commons attribution no derivative works and watermark my stuff. I actually found one of my images on someone elses blog with no credit given to me. They did however link it directly from my site! So I uploaded a new image with my company name watermarked across the image.
Yeah, they pulled it down since they could no longer treat it as if it was their photography... nice.
I now watermark everything and no longer allow linking or any use without consent. Sad how one asshat can make you jaded.

I forgot to mention. Some bloggers works are copyrighted. Which makes it illegal to take someones work and re-blog it. There are no laws however governing meta blogging...

I agree - I love the communities - I just don't believe in the walled garden - just because person X uses this service and person Y uses that services I'm not going to write original content for each exclusively.

What I do is a bit impersonal - but I still troll most of the communities and interact with them when I have something to say - now if only I could pull in all my comments from different sites into my main blog - but that's a challenge for another day.

There is a huge difference between meta posting and stealing someones work and claiming it as your own.

Color me confused as to the comparison there. It is like comparing apples to oranges IMHO.

Yes, some consider meta to be impersonal. But it is only impersonal if you do not reply to comments or interact with the communities you post with. That being said you have negated their argument by replying to my original response to reblogging lol...

Ironically some told me this post (on another site) was "meta" since I'm someone that pushes out work to multiple sites. I left a message back along the lines that it's my interaction with a community - I still reply to comments, I just don't really believe in creating something specific for a community.

That and since migrating away from using RSS feeds and strictly handling my data - all the information I crosspost is mine alone.

Ironically I just got an email (and replied) from a stranger looking at crossposting between livejournal and wordpress.

I couldn't agree with you more Creeva. Your only protected on your work so long as you can prove it is your own and if a larger site has somewhere along the line laid claim to your writing/art then it is stuck in everyones mind that they are the creator and nothing you can do or say will change that.

Sadly the internet does not come with an etiquette book for those who choose to ignore their lack of creative juices and instead steal others thoughts.
