A Philippine amateur songwriter has apparently decided that my copyrighted Project Rice photography is free for the taking (without asking me for permission, without licensing, etc.) and free to incorporate my images into his own music video?

I know it's really tongue-in-cheek amateur project and he didn't set out to upset anyone, etc.....but baby you have to ASK before you go ahead & take content belonging to others that you want to use:)
..initially I was pissed, but there's really nothing to be pissed about, now that I've expressed that people use common courtesy, manners & abide by copyright laws when they want to do this sort of thing.

I received an email from this guy informing me after the fact, that he went ahead & used my images in his music video w/out my permission, and just went ahead & posted it on YOUTUBE.com

Thankfully he's not a professional singer or video editor, and the slide show is a grainy mess of low resolution images.

On the other hand, since my images came out so poorly displayed, I initially was pissed off as I work very hard on creating high quality JPEG content in Photoshop, as any good pro photographer would do - and this is surely not at all representative of my work.

J.C. Manlapat, please ask permission ahead of time when you decide you wish to use other peoples intellectual property, ok?

Thanks Brother!
