Piracy info

ok i am not sure if you have heard the big news around the digital scrapping world but we have discovered a new pirate!!! her name is Pattyf56 and you can read all about it here and PLEASE be sure to check patty's photobucket link to check if YOUR kits are there too!!!! i am HOPING that it is just another case of a lack of communication and not OUTRIGHT piracy! (sigh) still takes the vroom out of one's mojo to know this happens so easily. i am soo very sorry this has happened to so many WONDERFUL designers. But with people like Holly Ann watching out for us, (THANK YOU AGAIN, HOLLY ANN!!!)we can stop this sort of thing, by just keeping our eyes open and watching the backs of our designers. And if you see this happening, LET IT BE KNOWN to as many as you can, contact designers, photobucket and whatever download share they use (4shared, rapidshare, where ever that link is from!)!! it is just incredible, to me, that this happens when there are so many designers that share so freely and generously!!!
i have been a bit down about all the traffic that seems to come to my blog, without saying a word!!! you know those that just come by and read and leave, whether they download a freebie or not, no comments! but then when something like this happens, my little problem seems to not be so important anymore lol
and that is why communication is soo important!!! lets us know who has been visiting us! i have been the kind to leave a comment, whether i download something OR NOT but still those don't come leave a comment for me here. (shrugs) gets me kind of down and though i am not even sure why, it still does.
and so i will continue to visit your blogs and comment (although i didn't this week, sorry) cause i WANT you to know i care and i came by :D
it would be AWESOME to hear comments from ALL of you too!! just say hi or let me know what you think of this piracy and how can you help :D (sharing the piracy info on your blog would be a GREAT start hehe)
big HUGS to you all and i hope you have a BEAUTIFUL day!! i am off to visit you now :D (waving) See ya soon!

Well, it looks like a few things from her photobucket have been removed for violation. I hope it was just a miscommunication and not that person stealing other peoples work.

Just discovered your blog (via-via) and am really enjoying reading your posts... and the freebies! But it's fun to hear about what's happening in other parts of the world.

Keep up the good work and keep your chin up- I firmly believe in Karma, so the Pirates will get that they deserve!

Have a great day! :-)
