Almost every image is without any credit whatsoever to me buying the images or spending years of effort in writing the descriptions against them. Incredibly, he’s included online images from people who shared exclusively only on Blantyre Project that I wasn’t permitted to publish even in my own books! Those picture owners are FURIOUS! It is THE utmost cheek and illegal in the eyes of Scots Law to publish the work of others without acknowledgment.
The images themselves, taken from Blantyre Project’s website are photoshopped with a different sky in a vain attempt to make them look different and haven’t translated well to print as he wasn’t able to scan the actual original images. Not one mention of Blantyre Project or Paul Veverka in the WHOLE book, leaves me unfortunately in a position to report a serious copyright breach to our common sales outlet online.
I extend an open invitation to Mr Sim to reply in public and dare him to deny any of this, when i can so readily show and prove it.
It pains me to write this so publicly but I put up with this intellectual property theft for years online, ignoring it as there’s more to life than his hobby website….. But this isn’t handbags at dawn….it is THEFT in the most horrible manner as my content is written for charitable purposes.
ACTUALLY publishing MY words, discoveries and literature under HIS own name is a line HUGELY crossed and a gross error of judgement. I feel its my duty, (not through sour grapes), but as the VICTIM of his shady, jealousy fuelled enterprise to point it out to all 13,000 of my website visitors.
I will NOT tolerate copyright theft even in one sentence, let alone throughout a whole book. Blantyre will hear much more about this despicable, vile effort.
