How would you like to go
 to work next week
and not be paid?
 

How would you feel if you spent years of your life learning to do something better than anyone else and then someone came and copied a project you had created without compensating you for it? 

That is exactly what happens when you illegally copy or reproduce professional photographs.  As an artist, I have devoted years to learning my craft, and have invested in the facilities, equipment and education necessary to create something special, and I am not compensated when you illegally copy my work.  The company who runs the copy station gets to illegally profit from the work and my skill.

Additionally, such copying reflects poorly on the reputation of my work, as I no longer have control over the quality of the sharpness, clarity, color or cropping of the pirated image.


I sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping me to maintain the highest level quality in my work, and for respecting my legal rights by not attempting to copy or reproduce my work.


…just because it's easy to do doesn't mean you should

...besides it's bad karma.
