From: "Christine Aguila"
Hi Everyone:
I'd very much like to know everyone's views about something that has just
happened to me; here's the story:
I gave a nice print--as a gift--to a friend. My friend's father-in-law took
the print to get it framed, and come to find out, he also made some scans of
the print and gave them to family members. I'm just going to come out and
say it--I'm really irked by this. I often sign my prints in the lower right
hand edge, but I didn't on this print.
How irked would you guys be? What, if anything, would you guys do or say?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Christine
It was bad manners on somebody's part to make copies without your
permission. Did the father-in-law just take it upon himself to do it, or
did your friend tell him it was OK?
If it was costing me income, lost sales or such, I'd be pissed off.
Likewise, if the father-in-law was selling copies of my work, and I
wasn't getting a cut ... I'd have something to say about it.
Otherwise, I'd be flattered they liked my image enough to want more than
one copy, even though it would have been polite if someone had asked me.
Sometimes "friends" do things that hurt, and you just have to grit your
teeth & let it ride.
