The Plagiarist has Apologized

Tweet

In the last post, I have told you about a photo of mine which was plagiarized by a known person in my hometown in the Philippines. He is the admin of an fb page where he posts my photo without my permission. Gladfully, some of my relatives, who are members of that Fb page, noticed that they have seen that photo already and that it was mine. So, they sent me the screenshot of that post with my photo. That person was talking as if that photo was his and he even put the Fb page group on my photo. I sent a message to that plagiarist. I didn´t get a reply. So angry as I was, I post on my Fb timeline telling about my stolen photo and of course the name of that person and that Fb page. I also sent the link of the article on Hubpages where I included that said photo which was stolen. Then I tagged all my friends who are from our hometown, some are even living abroad who are also active on fb. I was not contented with that. I shared my own post to another fb page group of our hometown whose admin is the son of my friend, whom I know since he was a small kid. I am a member of this group. I know that some of the members are fb friends of that plagiarist. I have shamed that plagiarist publicly. He apologized when commenting on my post. At first, I told the plagiarist to just credit it to me but then he was asking me to write the story about the photo and who my parents are and so on. Well, to make the story short, he deleted my photos because I told him to delete them. Yes, I found out that he has stolen 2 of my photos. I found out through the comments that this plagiarist is a rude person and just get photos from his friends' photos without permission. I got many from my friends. Now, many of my childhood friends have read my HubPages article about our childhood river. I think I am popular now in my hometown Thanks for reading. I am ranting I suppose. Have a nice Wednesday. The photo is the torch ginger plant I have in my garden in my hometown in the Philippines.
