OMG I find it quite funny when the accused thief feels like they have been wronged. LOLOL. I know this isn't a funny situation. I just find it quite hilarious that MTJC can be offended.

This all could've been avoided. What a mess. icon_rolleyes.gif



That's right all of these could have been avoided , but this person (who took other people's photos) started this whole mess. She should have seen this coming. Really, what did she expect ? icon_confused.gif




I was just about to say the same thing.

She's playing with fire reporting those that she believes work from home, seeing as she herself works from the "comfortability" of her own home. If I remember correctly, she's in Texas, and we all know Texas doesn't allow home-based bakeries. thumbsdown.gif

LOL.

Wow....that's right- because people want you to *gasp* take THEIR COPYRIGHTED images down, you're gonna throw back and try to turn people in that you don't even KNOW if they're selling or not.....

I'm seriously thinking this keeps getting better......

Good luck to all you big meanies that wanted them to take your pictures down.....lol.

Heath, shouldn't this person have been banned by now?

Haha, exactly. Anyone got a lawyer friend that can start a law suit for all the copyrighted images she posted? I mean, if she really wants to get this ball rolling, we can. Surely one of us avid cake bakers is a lawyer wanting some ProBono work?

You steal peoples photos, you get caught, you take them down, you put them back up, now you're mad at the people you stole the photos from? Now I have heard everything...........sounds like someone needs to grow up and act like an adult. If you're mad a me now go ahead and call the authorities because I don't sell cakes and even if I did it's not against the law to sell a few cakes in my state without a license.

Wow - for her to go to all of the trouble of contacting all of those agencies in all of those cities, she really must be the wronged party in all of this. Oh, do I feel for her......NOT
To whom ever you are, put on your big girl panties and grow up! You were wrong, and you got caught stealing photos.

Let me start by saying that I have not made enough cakes to be good enough to steal from. Now, I have made cakes from the pictures I've seen on here. I always let my family, as they are the only ones I've made cakes for, know that I found the ideas here (they call us 'The cake cult' icon_wink.gif ). But are the people whose cakes I've TRIED to copy upset? I hope I haven't crossed any line by trying to use someone else's idea. icon_cry.gificon_cry.gificon_cry.gif

I don't think anyone minds you using their ideas! That's what we're here for, is inspiration! But I the issue here is taking someones ELSES work, directly- not trying to do it yourself, not making YOUR version of it. And taking away someones profits by doing it! The orignal poster (Summer) had people calling her asking if she had two websites because her cakes were on someone elses website. Who knows how many people saw those cakes and said, Wow, I think I'll go to this person?

Sooooooooo....morethanjustcakes has now posted 1 entry in a thread, but has been lurking on here since May 5, 2008, and stealing our members photos all this time.....and now SHE'S threatening legal action????????? icon_confused.gif

Isn't there some way, Jackie and Heath, to revoke this member's status after putting our members through all this H@%*? And block her?

There is a HUGE difference between copying a design that inspired you AND taking that person's work and showing as your own creation... TOTALLY HUGE DIFFERENCE...

I can make a cake that Collete Peters made and still give her credit for inspiring me to make it... although I know mine would be not as beautiful as her own work. But I will NEVER post her photo and claim it as my own creation.

For all robbed members only: I have taken screenshots of morethanjustcakes website. All the pics. I have put those into four WordPerfect documents, and can send them to you for possible legal actions, if warranted. Each of her sections is one document. Just let me know which one you need.

(And yes, I have a lot of time on my hands, I've got a back injury and am permanently disabled. I am sitting here right now with the icepack, and ....I HATE injustice....so.... I will help where I can. icon_smile.gif )

Roxxxy- which cake was it? I can try to look through googles cache and see if I can get a screen shot of it- but if it comes down to legal action, I'm positive there will be a way for it to be pulled back up.

Just my two cents. Banning this person is not going to stop them from registering under a different alias or the same username incremented by a number.

Hopefully the ones that posted on the stolen pics website was not degrading, but the WARNING seems a bit phoney. If I was stealing, try to cover up, steal again, delete evidence of stealing and then call the authorities because the victim is upset with me.

GET OUT OF TOWN!

If you google "More Than Just Cakes," the first link that comes up is a site where they still state that they work from "the comfortability of their own home." It also lists their address in Texas -- the only way to be licensed in-home is to have a completely separate kitchen that cannot be accessed from your house. Just thought I'd throw that out there since they decided to "out" all you obviously illegal bakers. ::sarcasm::

Now I am baking out of this thread and hoping not to get flamed. icon_wink.gif

Inside story-I haven't told anyone this yet. BUT, another member (NOT ME!!!) reported them to the Health Department last week. They were contacted and shut down yesterday.
It has nothing to do with this thread.
Yes- I have gotten several weird emails! The man who owns the business (I won't post his name), has been emailing me, pretending to be a client, scoping me out. He seriously thought I was so stupid that I didn't know his name. Whatever.
Make your own cakes-use your own talent.

Summer, I would be careful now if I were you though, if you work from home. I didn't think you could sell anything from home in Texas? I would just keep an eye out if I were you, and not be surprised if this other business hasn't contacted the HD about you too. I'm not trying to cause any trouble, just sayin'...

Hey Jen-
No, I don't work from home. I actually am not even making cakes right now. I was previously renting a kitchen, but taking a break for the summer.
I am sure they contacted the HD about me, too. But my site is all shut down to protect myself from these rotten people.
