I have made just a couple so far, but I always share your pages and videos, and they are extremely helpful. I think that even if I ever set out to make and sell things, coasters or clothes or bags or amigurumi, I'd include their origins in a little card. It's only fair to credit the person who practically taught you, and you're right about this being the case with books too, I've seen hundreds of thefts from my father's books out there, and there's just nothing I can do about them at all. Be well, stay positive, and thank you again!Octarinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865624695607203567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862871843637142454.post-32553563477413415972015-05-08T12:59:38.413-07:002015-05-08T12:59:38.413-07:00Thank you Vanja,

But it's also an issue for those who sell books and so on, so it effects everyone.<br /><br /> I actually lost a huge amount of time recently battling with a couple of sites and in the end I am the one who lost because time is too precious to waste like that. In between my children and me trying to support us financially I don't have any spare time to throw away.<br /><br />I did let them get the best of me for a few days. Even though I maintained a good attitude and talked to them on a mature level in the end they ignored me and one even banned my ip address. But really, I can't expect a thief to have good manners, lol and it taught me that I shouldn't give them my time too!<br /><br />I'm ok with it all. I will stay focused on what's important and that is spreading the love of amigurumi! And that way I get to keep my joy and my time :)<br /><br />Thank you for your kind and supportive words, they mean so much to me! <br /><br />Happy Crocheting! Life is good :)<br />Sharon Ojalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603885607984732319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862871843637142454.post-24575963762669255392015-05-08T11:41:05.489-07:002015-05-08T11:41:05.489-07:00Dear Sharon,

Some go so far that claim all patterns as their own, not to mention trying to sell copied ones as their own. It always breaks my heart seeing such cold and consiousless people. But yet, there they are.<br />I gave up fighting long time ago. Not just because it is impossible to win, but because after all, we remain hurt, loose time and energy trying to fix it... I gave up not because I am weak but because the truth is always revealed and thefts always get caught :)<br />What you have to understand that Amigurumi to Go is not just a blog or FB page...it is society. Your patterns have your mark on the first sight, and with or without watermark I can tell which pattern was created by you. Same way, I am sure, all of other members of this Amigurumi to Go society you lead can tell the same difference. So try to take it easy! All of us are holding your back! :)<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692017374619549751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862871843637142454.post-92182325147894133492015-05-07T08:48:22.462-07:002015-05-07T08:48:22.462-07:00I didn't know how the RSS feed works but I did...I didn't know how the RSS feed works but I did figure out that adding anti theft programs doesn't really stop those those who want to take what they want. I could stop the not so computer savvy thief but not those who know what they're doing. <br /><br />It's an ongoing learning experience and one thing I did learn a while back is theft is par for the course so I don't lose sleep over it. I hope that one day there will be more tools given to us that would be helpful though.Sharon Ojalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603885607984732319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862871843637142454.post-73658523949785295022015-05-07T08:25:09.895-07:002015-05-07T08:25:09.895-07:00So..

If your blog has a RSS feed, and you want it to have one, content can be republished elsewhere automatically even. It's just the way the web works. There are things you can dd to mitigate damage, but content will always be stolen.David Kutcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595261225719571066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862871843637142454.post-13308503054725606982015-05-05T21:07:06.227-07:002015-05-05T21:07:06.227-07:00Hi ..

So I took it off because it was frustrating for those who just want to copy a link here in comments and not stopping any theft, lol<br /><br />It's all good though, the benefits of working with people like you out weighs the negatives :)<br /><br />Happy Crocheting! <br /><br />Sharon Ojalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603885607984732319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862871843637142454.post-90032685309403339512015-05-05T13:08:14.591-07:002015-05-05T13:08:14.591-07:00I am glad you didn't move without me knowing i...I am glad you didn't move without me knowing it!
