UPDATE! it is done. i do believe I have successfully deleted my MySpace profile and page. It took some doing (I had to do it in the Italian language – you got me – go figure) but I do believe the deletion was successful. Yay God. Now I don’t have to wrestle with that on my poor conscience.
ORIGINAL POST FOR TODAY: I think I’m going to die of a guilty conscience now. We’ve been learning about copyright infringement and plagiarism in my online class. My MySpace page is FULL is graphics that I am using and that others haveposted in their comments that I know I haven’t asked permission to use. Whaaaa…. I don’t want to die of a guilty conscience of be guilty of copyright infringement or plagiarism. do I fix this wrong on my MySpace page? There are SO MANY graphics on it! I could delete the whole page I guess and not use MySpace anymore. What to do? I don’t know what to do. I don’t know who created the graphics so how can I ask permission to use them? It’s been decided on in class that if it’s not your work, just don’t use it…but I have SO MANY that I do use. I do have a note at the bottom of my page acknowledging and thanking the unknown artists. I’m open to suggestions. I think the best resolve for this problem would be to just delete my MySpace page. What do you think?
I do have a lot of MySpace friends but I really haven’t had anytime hardly since I’ve started school to even tend to the page much less interact with my friends.
I’m sad. I don’t want to lost my page. I don’t want to stop using those cool images. I have no control over the graphics that my friend’s use when they leave comments. They very well could be the artists themselves. How would I know except for to ask each one individually before allowing them to post? Whaaaa….. This must be dealt with because I know its just not right to use other people’s work without their permission – at least now I know and I’m convinced of it.
I must make this wrong right and that soon!
Well, pray for me as I am praying for myself for God to have me deal with this situation wisely and in a timely fasion. I hope and pray everyone is having a good day and that if it’s your will, no one is using your work without permission, especially me!
Peace and love, Out! Linda
