In the past, and you will notice that I hardly mention it anymore, but in the past it used to annoy the snot out of me that other spanking bloggers would come to my site to rip off my finds for their own sites without so much as a mention. The main reason for that is that their readers were being denied a plethora of unseen spanking material by having no link provided in return. That is why I always link to Harry’s site if we have crossover material, because the whole purpose of what we do is to share our spanking finds with the community. So while I am not using his material, I’m also not going to deny my audience the opportunity to see the finds that Harry has that I might not have.
Of course the other reason was to do with the work that we put in to find and edit the photos. I could be searching for four hours just to find one pic, just for someone to come onto my site for a few seconds and say “I’ll take that, and that, oh, and that one as well” and then claim not to know where the pics came from, lol.
It took me a while to get past that annoyance, but I had to keep reminding myself why I do this, and that is to share the love with the spanking community. So as long as I keep my own ethical approach I know eventually people will find out the source of the material in the end. So hopefully my personal ethics will eventually rub off on others and they will start using the same approach.
Actually I wasn’t even going to mention this, but talking of plagiarism has reminded me of when I first started in this lifestyle of ours. Would it be surprising to you that all I ever wanted initially was one photo of me spanking a girl? Initially that was all I ever wanted, I had no idea that I would end up taking hundreds of photos and appear in a dozen or more films, all I ever wanted was one photo for my personal collection. The photo below was the very first spanking photo that I appeared in with the delightful Amber ‘Pixie’ Wells.
In fact, just by chance, you can see from the note on the photo that this would have happened 15 years ago tomorrow.
Anyway, I posted this photo in a private MSN group back in the day, and the very same day that I posted it, some guy took it, reposted it everywhere else, and claimed that it was a photo of him and his neighbor!! Then took the plaudits that came in for the photo. That was my first experience in public view, someone claimed that Pixie and I were actually this guy and his neighbor.
Another time, and this would have been before the photo above, I had written a story on a public site. Not long after that I was reading the stories from other people, when all of a sudden one of my stories appeared under the name of someone else, only the character names and implements had changed. When I posted a WTF, at least in this instance the guy admitted that he loved my story so much that he wanted to make it more personalized for himself. He wasn’t a bad dude, and he apologized for not asking first.
Anyway, I rambled a little bit there, but it was just to show you how I have moved on from annoyances in the past and how I hope to lead by example moving forward,.
My Wednesday Classic this week is from the play ACT YOUR AGE. As mentioned above, I checked Harry’s site and he has indeed posted a copy of this photo, however we are both posting different edits of the photo. His version features the spanking and the girls standing by the side, while I opt for the full panoramic version including the whole set.
This is one of the photos that generally tickles me. There is nothing I enjoy more than seeing a bunch of girls standing around laughing as their friend gets spanked. Believe it or not it happens at spanking parties as well, you will see so many girls thrown under the bus by other girls that it can be quite amusing. As you can see here from Portland, CT, there are five girls who are finding it quite funny because someone is getting spanked that isn’t them. Let’s hope that karma caught up to these girls in 1952.
