I too enjoyed the Mothers Day Flowers post, and feel it provided inspiration where some other blogs don't. Kieron, I agree with the others who ahve said that giving real examples is useful.

It annoys me that people take such a liberty. For god's sake you even told us about Sitepoint where you can get the things built.<br/>Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but some people take it too far! Loving the 'what I'm listening to' recommendations too. Just wanted to say thanks for the advice and openness you’ve given to date. It annoys me that people take such a liberty.

It seems that many people have their own definition of "Copyright" that suits their own uses. I wish people would understand the reason for the "copy _right_". Since whatever was written (or typed) by the author is their own property, why shouldn't they have the "right" to say who can use it and how? Just because it's on paper (or in data format) doesn't mean that it isn't theirs. I had a JPG of a photo I had taken for a site hijacked by another webmaster. I contacted him and notified him that the image was copyrighted and even gave him the option to continue using it if he simply put a credit with a link to my site. His response was that he always lets other people use the images he makes and that I had too much time on my hands. Contacting his hosting provider and notifying them of his copyright infringement seems to have worked.<br/><br/>Nice site Kieron. Keep up the good work.<br/><br/>-M Stuff like this never stops annoying me. It seems that many people have their own definition of “Copyright” that suits their own uses.
