Plagiarism is the Best Compliment
I’ve just uploaded two more sets of photos to the photo section. They are a little outdated, but looking at them more than a year later brings back fond memories.
In addition, comments are no longer allowed in the photo section. SG Watch has become a target for comment spammers, and it’s not unusual for me to receive more than 300 comments a day asking me to visit online casinos. I don’t understand why companies would willingly pay these spammers huge sums of money to make life difficult for us, when the probability of anyone clicking on the links is virtually zero.
Looking on the bright side, it means SG Watch is popular enough for spammers to take notice. In fact, someone actually ripped my design. But since he bothered to credit me for the original design, I decided to let the matter rest. After all, plagiarism is the best compliment.
Not that I encourage all to do the same. There are already quite a few people who used my photos without my acknowledgement. And perhaps due to their ignorance, they were directly linking to those photos; this means I was paying for the bandwidth whenever someone views the photos on their websites! The problem has since been remedied without the exchange of angry emails; but I might have to resort to more drastic measures if the same situation arises again — like knocking on their doors with a machete in hand.
Please email me if you wish to use anything from SG Watch. A little courtesy certainly helps, and I always reciprocate in kind.
