Now that the holidays have come and gone, it is time to find out exactly what is going on at Haute Living Magazine. I haven’t been able to do my culinary school homework since the day a Dallas writer messaged saying this shady stack of paper has been using my food pictures as their own for months and months and months and months and months. Who does this? Who is OK with this kind of pretend journalistic nonsense?
Haute Living Magazine is so busted for being picture stealers they removed the Dallas section from their website. When dirty people are busted and know it, the sky instantly fills with rainbows and sunshine. After looking at the other cities listed on their site, Haute Living Magazine is stealing pictures from those cities as well. The copyright police need to take down this mega monster magazine one article at a time. It’s the right thing to do.
The freak out happening here is well above average as far as freaking out is concerned. There’s nothing to stop constant research to uncover what other work is being stolen. It is actually depressing that there’s only 24 hours in each day. More time is needed to check the billions of pictures on my website to see which have been stolen without credit being given to Almost Veggies. Frankly, I’m scary pissed– as in a full blown investigation is officially on. Guilty picture people prepare to party without music. It is over.
The infamous week of stolen picture sadness began with a message about a girl named Bridget from Haute Living Magazine. If you must know, I do not fancy picture stealers. Bridget’s like a kid at a picture candy store. Like it– take it. Want it— grab it. She’s taken credit for pictures owned by different photographers so many times I’d like to sit down and have a mini-talk with her. How can a person pretend to be a journalist while stealing another writer’s work? How can Haute Living Magazine be taken seriously as a credible source for news?
Haute Living Magazine is like the Russian and I am Rocky Balboa. Bring it. Swing it. It will take six months before I finish going through the pictures in Bridget’s articles, emailing victims, and then moving on to the next phase– checking for plagiarism. Do you really think a writer stealing pictures like no tomorrow is going to give five back flips about stealing words as well? Exactly. Kevin Marple is a massive Dallas victim. He has the rank to say, “Do you know who I am?” He could even use capital letters in all copyright correspondence. His pictures are all over the place in Haute Living Magazine. Who messes with Kevin Marple? Are you kidding me? How was the crack pipe you just smoked?
Crave DFW and Dallas Morning News have a slew of pictures being used without credit given. Everyone with an ounce of journalistic integrity gives credit for pictures being used that are not their own. Pretty please check out this writer with picture stealing sticky hands— Lauren Kent. She loves Dallas Morning News and even uses Yelp pictures– Eww. Please allow me to vomit on her face the very second I see she’s stolen from me. Hiss.
Haute Living Magazine supposedly fired the freeloader stealing pictures all over the place. She isn’t fired as far as I’m concerned because she still has twenty or so “articles” remaining on Satan’s site. Why fire her? Haute Living Magazine is an explosion of picture theft without Bridget. Please, do not forget it is possible to push the button to the right called– cashe. This button means Haute Living deleting her forgery filled articles can still be seen. Yay for victims of picture theft everywhere. Raise the roof– any roof.
There are many other writers using my work as their own, which means they are going downtown on the same train as Haute Living Magazine. There’s a list of excuses I’d really appreciate not hearing from writers being called out:
1. What? What? What?
2. Which picture is yours?
3. Gasp. How could this have happened? Oh my!
4. Must have been an oversight. We are shocked.
5. It would have been more professional to email and not notify us via twitter/facebook.
Really? Because it would have been nice for you to not have used my work as your own to begin with. Performing a complete and total Guinness Book of World Records investigation into Haute Living Magazine’s shady no-ethic way of picture business, as well as the others, is my pleasure. Merry Christmas.
