PSA - WAHM sites/pictures/auctions

Hey mamas....

If you are going to be auctioning or selling WAHM stuff on ebay or the TP or whever can everyone please try to take your own pictures OR email the wahm and ask permission to use their pictures? I know its a small details... but many wahms go through a lot of time and effort to make really professional pictures.. and it really stinks and hurts for those to be taken for personal use without even thinking to ask the WAHM, kwim? Same thing goes for graphics/web code/articles, etc... but that doesnt really apply here, LOL. But It all falls under the fact that anything published on websites belongs to the owner because of copyright laws. I doubt many people would say no.. its just a nice courtesy to ask first

It does take a really long time! I took pictures to list Sophie's diapers for sale now that she is potty learned and it took me an hour to take pictures, resize, upload and write descriptions. I'd be so upset if someone used those pictures without at least asking. Thanks for bringing this up Tiffany.

I cannot say enough about this. You can get in legal trouble (it's happened to someone I know!) for using a company's pictures. Thanks for the reminder, Tiffany.

It *does* take a long time to get the pictures taken, edited, named so you actually remember what the picture is of, then categorized with the others.... that's why it takes me so darn long to put stuff on the TP!!!

It does take a long time. All the auctions I am doing on ebay took forever exspecially with a crappy camera you have to take 5 pics of one item in hopes to get one that might turn out. So no doubt does it take time.
Just not everyone including me thinks about asking I suppose.

However not all will let you use their pictures. oh well....

Exactly! Hence this great PSA

(btw, I don't even *have* a digital camera... I can only take pictures when I take the camera home from work on the weekends... but since I'm quitting at the end of this month I don't know *what* I will do later?! I guess I'll just figure that out later)

That is a great point, I have seen it myself.
Also, if you are gonna sell something WAHM make SURE the WAHM actually made ALL the items in your lot.....my little PSA

I'd like to add that WAHM's please ask mama's before posting other people's babies in your gallery. Most do, but its a little shocking to stumble across your baby on the internet and not have been asked permission to have it placed there.

I'm sure these are innocent when they happen. That's why a friendly PSA is a good thing!

It's all in the details, isn't it? Thanks for the reminder, Tiffany.

people tend to break copyright law freely. And the internet makes it worse.

That goes for music and movies.....

I am a photographer and I totally agree with this PSA. It can be very upsetting to have someone use your work without permission.

I feel like I am totally missing something here. Why would a wahm- or anybody for that matter- care if you link to their photo of the diaper?

Because legally it is theirs. I can't go on to the McDonald's site and use their photographs for something I am selling in hopes to make more money than I bought it for (say collector's item). I can't use their photos on my personal website and vice versa.

So if I have a one of a kind KP and then use Maria's photograph to sell it on Ebay, I am stealing. Unless I have her permission.

Oh gosh!

I must admit I never even thought about this! I mean I knew not to take photos off anyones site(s) but still....thanks for the info!

:

Would this still apply for custom orders that you were emailed pictures of? I suppose so but I just want to make sure. I have used two photos previously that were emailed to me hmmmmm......
