Upset at biters and stealers!!!!!  

Stupid girl stealing photos!



x-posted from Sanrio blog..

I am very upset! And very tired of biters and stealers on the internet!

Ok, so I was browsing the hello kitty forums and came upon this post of this girl, "Foxy Cleopatra" promoting her blog and one of her entries where she took a trip to Honolulu with her friends.

http://blog.sanriotown.com/foxycleopatra:mymelody.com/summer-to-remember/

So I was like.. Oh I gotta go look at that.. Because I am from Hawaii and wanted to see what she did on her trip. So at first I was like, "aww look at all the cute photos.."

But then I looked closer and found out some of the photos in her blog, were STOLEN.

I remember my online friend, Janine [info]love_janine (who also lives in Honolulu) posting photos of her hello kitty and rilakuma collection (e.g the hello kitty in the sand, rilakuma overlooking the beach from the hotel room) and I as I looked through this foxy cleopatra's post, I saw she used all of Janine's photos in her post, as well as Janine's photos of the food, the cake, the dessert, even the ring she bought... It's all in Janine's flick site here:

Then I went to the Travel The World Event Blog here:

http://blog.sanriotown.com/traveltheworld:hellokitty.com/category/winning-entries/

And found out this biter, Foxy Cleopatra was actually one of the winners for Round 1! She actually won a prize too >_< To think that all she did was take some photos from other people's websites to make up a fake entry for a contest is really low.. and she actually won.. argghghhhhh ..

This makes me really upset...

I know from experience how it feels when people steal your photos, as well as your artwork, and even your writing.. I have experienced it all.

So I deeply sympathize with Janine, and have emailed marketing@hellokitty.com about this.

I hope there is some sort of justice served. This is so not right.

If Foxy or whoever knows her reads this gets upset, just know you are ALL IN THE WRONG. And the only one who has the right to get upset, is Janine.

[EDIT] So I found another entry this girl made .. and she actually wrote about how upset she was that she didn't win the grand prize!! WTF... from her blog:
This is a blog, so I thought I’d blog about my feelings for once. I didnt win the Grand Prize for the Travel the World contest. Which is rediculously lame. Didn’t even care for the prizes, just wanted my pics/story to win.

Excuse me?? Her pics....?????? WTF!!! THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS... AND F*ED up!!!!! She seems so delusional.. and to think she actually wrote this that she didn't win the grand prize... argghhh

how embarrassing for that person
do these people think that the person they stole from will never find out. ugh.
pinksugarichigo[info]pinksugarichigo on October 25th, 2008 01:37 pm (UTC)
hell yeah. i hope she gets embarassed and much more..


haha, i don't know why people think they can get away with this stuff...

Ugh it makes me soooo mad when people steal other people's pictures and especially when they repost them claiming them as their own! I mean, I save pictures sometimes but if I repost them I get permission and I credit the person argh..

There seems to be more and more people stealing identities and photos lately, it kinda scares me. If these persons are able to steal someone's stuff on the net... what will it be next when they get older and have their own buisiness or something? Steal credit cards? Fraud... etc..??? EEK (>w<)
pinksugarichigo[info]pinksugarichigo on October 26th, 2008 09:42 am (UTC)
I know! That's why I was so upset that I made this blog to warn people about her.. and emailed sanrio about it..

i know.. i can't imagine what people would be capable of if they can get away with this stuff..

I love how blatantly obvious it is that she stole half those pictures. Her pictures are unphotoshopped, unedited, taken with a shitty camera, resized funny then you see your friend's pictures which are edited, resized and taken with a more than decent camera.

I'm glad you reported this girl, people who steal pictures are pathetic.
pinksugarichigo[info]pinksugarichigo on October 26th, 2008 09:43 am (UTC)
arggh i know. you could totally tell how the photos are so different from one another..

and who knows if her photos are even hers too. for all you know they could be other people..

i hope they really do something about it

I hope that the SanrioTown team takes steps to remove the stolen pictures from the thief's page and punish the thief in some way. It disgusts me that someone would steal pictures to win a stupid contest. Some people really have NO shame.

What will make me even angrier though is if SanrioTown refuses to take action because Sanrio considers the pictures "good press", stolen or not.
pinksugarichigo[info]pinksugarichigo on October 26th, 2008 09:45 am (UTC)
i hope so too.. i know.. i don't really get the point of stealing photos to win a contest either..



ahhh i hope sanriotown will do something!! that would be totally unfair
[info]sweetperfecton on October 25th, 2008 02:57 pm (UTC)
Whoa! thats terrable. I was looking at her blog too when I was checking my mail on sanriotown.com I really hope they do something about that.
pinksugarichigo[info]pinksugarichigo on October 26th, 2008 09:46 am (UTC)
yes, i hope so too!

pinksugarichigo[info]pinksugarichigo on October 26th, 2008 09:48 am (UTC)
i know.. i can't believe she used that photo too.. the luggage.. that's so pathetic.. that's part of janine's traveling pics..

i hope she gets punished too or something..

oh gosh, i HATE biters! i wonder what in the hell is going on in their minds when they steal! dont they feel bad cause its not them or their own photos? are they that ugly and uncreative that they cant use or make their own damn photos?

im glad you contacted the company about this.. good job!
i hope that foxy betch gets what she deserves >:0
pinksugarichigo[info]pinksugarichigo on October 26th, 2008 09:49 am (UTC)
yeah.. i don't have a clue what kind of satisfaction they get by using other people's photos.. they're getting recognized for other people.. not themselves..

yeah i really wanted to help janine.. i know how it feels when someone steals stuff from you

and omg.. can you believe she even wrote another blog how upset she was that she didn't win the grand prize?

omg it's so obvious too because all the pictures are all of different quality :(
you're such a good friend btw :)
pinksugarichigo[info]pinksugarichigo on October 26th, 2008 09:52 am (UTC)
it is obvious.. i don't know why the folks at sanriotown didn't notice..

and aww thanks.. i just wanted to do the right thing.. helping her out was the least i could do.. i know how it feels when people steals your stuff

and omg can you believe that this girl actually wrote another blog about how she was upset that she didn't win the grand prize?

Ai[info]cuterockmoni on October 26th, 2008 11:40 pm (UTC)
pfft.
serves her right..seriously.

your friend takes really nice pictures btw (i looked at a flickr)
+HYPEK+[info]ekstatic on October 26th, 2008 12:11 am (UTC)
eeeeew to the MAX.
it`s one thing to be flattered that someone likes your stuff,
but it's another thing to abuse COPYRIGHT.

People like her will never get anywhere in this world.
It just shows how good your friend Janine is :)
pinksugarichigo[info]pinksugarichigo on October 26th, 2008 09:53 am (UTC)
Re: eeeeew to the MAX.
i know!! it's disgusting..

but yeah.. it does show how much of a talented photographer Janine is.. that someone would steal her work.. but it's still not right

and omg, can you believe that this girl actually wrote another blog about how she was upset that she didn't win the grand prize?

People are ridiculous. Isn't it more more rewarding to work on something, whether it be graphics or your style, YOURSELF, and be recognised for your HARD WORK?

Seriously, that's lame. It's not like you personally accomplished anything. That's disgusting.
pinksugarichigo[info]pinksugarichigo on October 26th, 2008 09:55 am (UTC)
arggh i know.. i mean what does she get out of this.. she probably didn't even go to hawaii.. i don't know what kind of satisfaction she would get out of this being recognized for someone else's work.. it's disgusting..

and what's even more disgusting is that this girl even wrote another blog about how was upset that she didn't win the grand prize

Lani[info]eat_juice on October 26th, 2008 08:43 am (UTC)
I recognized her pictures right away, it's hard to miss Janine's pictures. I'm at such a loss for words right now because I'm so pissed.

I'll be right there with you exposing this person to SanrioTown!!
pinksugarichigo[info]pinksugarichigo on October 26th, 2008 10:02 am (UTC)
yes.. let's do it!
Adi[info]_bondless on October 26th, 2008 12:54 pm (UTC)
this is so fucked up! I can't believe she got away with it AND won a prize!!
Jessica[info]puakalehua on October 26th, 2008 08:29 pm (UTC)
This girl really has some nerves to steal Janine's photos. I agree with you about being upset. While reading this girl's blog I was thinking... yeah, those pics look awfully familiar to me (this is before I finished reading your entry). What a TOTAL BI she is!! this is totally wrong that she won this contest with Janine's pics. I hope she doesn't get her prize after this. Good looking out Janis. I guess ppl just think no one will find out. Ha-Ha on them.
mochichancutie[info]mochichancutie on October 27th, 2008 04:58 am (UTC)
OMG! what a total fake and a thief. YUCK I hate people like that.
[info]love_janine on October 27th, 2008 08:23 am (UTC)
Janis,
Thank you for always looking out for me. This entry and everyone's support really means a lot.

I've contacted the user and SanrioTown.

*hugs, love, & cottoncandy*
