Why You’re Seeing More of My Face

I like to share the title or a little summary of your post with my personnel, is that all right?
Yes, as long as youre not republishing the entire thing and or passing it off as your own. If you want somebody to check out the entire blog post, give them the link to it..

You may have seen that my face is appearing in more of the cover images for my blog posts and in more of the cover images for my videos. The reason is that in my on-going fight against websites that republish my material without approval it is much simpler for me to show evidence of ownership and originality when my face is in the cover image.

You might have discovered that my face is appearing in more of the cover images for my blog site posts and in more of the cover images for my videos. The reason is that in my on-going fight against websites that republish my content without authorization it is much easier for me to show proof of ownership and originality when my face is in the cover image. Filing DMCA takedown notifications is lengthy and even when filed appropriately some hosting companies still require even more proof of initial work and ownership. Being able to state, “hey, thats my image of myself wearing my favorite flannel shirt” is a lot simpler and faster than writing an explanation of the creativity of my blog post.

I get a lot of follow-up questions Whenever I release something about copyright. These are some of the often asked concerns..

Its fairly simple to write a script that scrapes all of the content from an RSS feed and imports it into a different site. Thats a little more difficult to stop so my recourse is to submit DMCA takedown notifications with Google to get them to eliminate the angering material from their results pages.

I embedded your YouTube video into my class/ school website, is that alright?.
Yes, thats totally fine as long as youre utilizing the embed or link offered by YouTube and not downloading the video then republishing it (read YouTubes TOS for more information)..

Can I forward your newsletter to my coworkers?
Yes, of course. Hit the forward button in your inbox and share it as I wrote it (over-use of parentheses and hyphens is one of the hallmarks of my post so dont be lured to modify those out)..
