U.S. Embassy in Mexico City find this photo in my blog, They contacted me to ask for authorization to use it in they website, although it’s far from China. With my agreement, they put it in their website, give the credit and a link to my blog.

Comparatively speaking, Chinese people’s Consciousness of copyright is worse than American and Europeans. Mabe we paste so many Photos in our blog just because we like it, perhaps most of them without the Photographer’s authorization, and we haven‘t give any photo credit. You must don’t want your photos use in other people’s website or handbills without your authorization, so we must learn to regard copyright, It’s not only for keep the promise, it’s a law problem.

If you want to use a photo(which is not yours) in your blog, please ask the author;

If you can’t get at the author and you really want to use it, please give the photo’s credit and the link at the front page, at least.

The photo in my blog: Amy’s Dream Of War Correspondent, U.S. Embassy in Mexico City’s Website: http://mexico.usembassy.gov/
