….And Plagiarism Continues!
I never thought someone would like to steal my photos too till TBC informed me about this. J Thanks a lot TBC for informing me. Lots of hugs to you!
This is a screenshot of the Paneer Pakoda photo on My Food court:
And this is a screen shot of the stolen photo on this site:
This intelligent person does not have the comments section open; so that no one should complain about the plagiarized photos, nor did I find an Email ID through which I can ask this person to remove my stolen photo from the site.
So this is a notice to Sathy (whoever you are) to
‘Please remove the photo of Paneer pakodas from your blog immediately’.
I hope you know, you cannot steal anyone’s photos/content without that person’s permission or without giving due credits to the blog.
If you like my photo so much at least put a link back to My Foodcourt!
Wow shocked it is reallynot fair that this person stole your pic.
I checked the page and still no link is added. SHAME ON THEM

Don’t u guys feel, that you should put a water mark on your Precious images while uploading. Do it atleast now before its late.
You just can’t fight or claim your image without having some relation with you, maybe you should try holding your recipe dish in your hand and taking a Snap.

OHO!!! so that thief strikes again!! I found a couple of Nupur’s recipes on the site and alerted her.. also found one of Swapnas I could not trace the other recipes (they looked mighty familiar!!)
I went and flagged the blog, hope that helps.

There are some pictures that even have the copyright notice from other sites stuck on them, for instance see the entry for Jeera Rice: http://indianvegrecipe.blogspot.com/2007/10/jeera-rice.html
you can see the “(c) Leitmotif” on the picture.
What is sad is that these sites thrive on this kind of controversy, because now all of us are clicking through the site to make sure if there are more plagiarised pictures/recipes out there. Which drives up their visitor figures which is what they are after.

Unless they have CPM advertising, they don’t benefit from more traffic. They do benefit from search engine traffic that might land on their site and click on the ads. Please report this site to Google AdSense. They are violating AdSense TOS.

I think we should just disable our images from Google image search! that’s the only way to stop this I guess…

This happened to us too! That lady shamelessly left a comment too! She copied the pictures and whole recipe! After repeated requests she kept, She kept changing the recipe and deleting 1 picture at a time!:D
Don’t know why people do this! Good that Tbc saw and informed you!
@ Oh that’s really terrible. Yes I sent lots of hugs to TBC !

Its a pity and a shame, when will we indians ever learn not to copy or steal other peoples work which other people have put in a lot of effort and precious time, it’s like the commercial hindi feature films or tv serials they always copy clips or steal copyrighted music or entire stories from books or movies from the west. and pass it on as their own
Barbara Taylor Bradford’s “Woman of Substance.” is one example Indianised to Karishma: The Miracles Of Destiny.
I would like to repeat what she quoted :”It is intellectual rape… and we are going to stop it.”
Don”t let the person get away with it.

Argh that is so annoying! I’ve had the same problem with two different sites, both of whom copy-pasted huge amounts of my work (nothing related to my blog) and claim it as their own. Gets my goat something fierce!

It’s not just Indians. Even animals change colors to camouflage. Besides photography doesn’t require “lot of effort and precious time” as compared to writing books and research papers. Scientists feign inventions never accomplished.
Get famous quick is the motivation. Consider it as the greatest form of flattery and stop fuming, for the sake of your health, I would say!
