Welcome / Welcome Back

There are a few things I feel I need to say regarding the scans that I share on this journal.

Up until now all my posts have been public and open with no restrictions or rules.

However ... )

Respect begets respect.
Some people are just...difficult to deal with. I remember that we talked about this one time before though you might no longer remember... Was it you or Cheryl? Erm, memory fail.

Like you, I don't really care if I'm not given credit for anything but someone else taking credit for what you did is just out of line and very, very rude. This thing will never stop, I guess. But it's good to air out your feelings in public. I hope that those who read this will get attacked by their conscience even for just a teeny bit and that those who see and those 'stolen' images will be vigilant and help point out those other people's wrongs.

I just noticed that I've yet to add you. May I add you now?

Just wanted to say thanks ... and if you're curious I have added an example of one of the things people do.

And yes, I do remember that conversation ... XD And I'm still here!

WOW. How classy of them!

Normally, I'd suggest you f-lock the entries but then again, if these kind of people really want to get to them, they'd get them. *sigh*

Know that we here are truly thankful of your efforts. I hope those nasty people's work won't discourage you from the fandom...

I really respect your determination to keep things public. Hopefully people can be kind enough back to you in the future! Please stay well!

i'm soooooo agree with what you have said.
eventhough we are all not own NewS or other popular people, but demanding credit from someone's work is.... >___< that's stealing -_-

that's why previously i said that i love your scans and i always wait YOUR scanned version, because i will only take the scans from you. some people scan 2 pages separately, yours not. you have already edit them and make it smooth. i really like it (because sometimes i'm too lazy to play with my photoshop -_-)

that almost the same as making icons, because you're not just scan them, you also edit them, even a little. i guess people should appreciate with what you're doing, and they actually should giving you credit too ne, because you spend your money to buy the magz and not bother to scan them =___=

i hope these kind of things will stop (well, i dont think so =___=a but i hope after you say this, people will have more respect and not claiming ur scans as their own work!)

Cheers!

I definitely like to see a 'spread' if there is one, cos sometimes they're the best photos. Glad you appreciate the extra time those take!

I appreciate the work that you do! ^_^ I love looking at your scans. I usually don't save any of the images, unless I know that I won't be able to get the original in my hands. It is always a nice preview before I go to Japan!

I don't understand the whole credit thing to begin with. Just because you are able to post pictures online doesn't mean that you are entitled to receive credit. If credit is given, it should be to the photographer or magazine. I am glad that you are not like some people!! It does get annoying and I totally undestand your point! You do put a lot of effort in what you do and people should not take advantage of that.

Yup, I want people to see the pretty pictures because, there's little enough of NEWS these days as it is ... but we don't own any of it, and it's even worse when you want to get credit when all you did is find it on the net somewhere else.

Most of the credit goes to the gorgeous boys in the photos themselves, or maybe the two people who got together and mixed DNA for such a first rate outcome! XD

I really respect for what you said. And i agree too. I mean you are not even asking for credit and that should be enough to make people feel guilty when they are using your scans. I really hope people are more kind.

Unfortunately, the people who are thoughtful and considerate are the ones who never need rules to be reminded of that.
