Photos
As with all my posts, the photos on my blog are also copyrighted. You are welcome to share my posts as long as you link them to The Farmer’s Lamp and give TFL full credit. Do not use my photos or articles for any other use without asking me first as I do retain all rights to my photos and content.
This copyright policy includes photos prepared for Pinterest. Do not remove the link to my site when you pin from TFL. You are stealing and violating this clearly stated policy. You will also be in violation of the copyright policies of Pinterest when you do this.
If you are caught stealing from TFL, you will have 24 hours to remove the stolen photo from where you shared it or you will be billed and your information will be forwarded to my attorney. You will be charged for all attorney’s fees and miscellaneous charges involved.
Content
Pretty much like photos. Don’t steal. You are not allowed to copy or otherwise use any of my content, including recipes in part or in whole.
If you use my original content for sharing purposes, it can only be 10% of it and you MUST link that content back to TFL in a prominent way. You are allowed to summarize any post on TFL as long as you place a prominent, this doesn’t mean a tiny out-of-the-way link, link to my home page. Should you want to use my article in some other way, just contact me, we can probably work something out.
Any violation of this policy will be treated seriously. Not only will you be billed at my current freelance writing rates, but you will also have only 24 hours to respond with payment or removal of the material in question.
I will file a DMCA complaint and forward your information to my attorney if you do not respond appropriately. As with photo stealing, you will be billed for all fees and miscellaneous charges incurred.
