My Work Stolen: Should I be Flattered? Would You Be?

AG Productions-the only website I approve my work to be on.

It has happened more than once before and I'm sure it happens everyday with other people. Here is how it works:

1. You put up a video/song/art on the net and people steal it by embedding it onto their website, which almost always has no original content of their own.
2. The people who stole it get all the traffic/sponsors/ads/$$$ for YOUR work (rarely do they add a link to your website- the one they stole it from).
3. Then they claim to host the BEST in travel/art/music/etc on their website and the original creator has to now go through a process to get their stolen work back and off the criminal's website.

Sound harsh? Then you've probably never had your hard work stolen from you. You have the right to choose where you advertise your work. I'm very cautious as who I associate my work with and which websites I endorse. So, for example, if you see my travel shows on BootsNall, MiND, or Matador TV, they never asked me for permission to promote their website with my work. I work with a production company that promotes my work on their website AGP and they are the only people (to date) that have written permission to do so.

Be careful travelers, because some one might be making a buck off of your hard work. If you have any questions, then drop me a line on my facebook page. In the mean time, support your artist or traveler by going directly to their website- not one that filters everyone elses.

P.S. You do not have to sign up or register on any website to watch my travels!!! They're free here! Enjoy :)!
