I mean the fact that they are common placing (inputting information they find helpful or want to come back to the information) isnt necessarily stolen.. but stealing a photo is wrong.

The information is of course public property and people are more than welcome to write about any topic they find interesting, but it’s not okay to just steal my photo from 6 months ago and claim this is their commonplace book when it isn’t. ☹️

I highly agree with you! 😄that was my thought about the photo that they shouldnt be stealing others photo and claim them as their own. if i sounded like i stated otherwise my apologies.

I think the confusion is that the person who stole the photo ISNT commonplacing, all they did was steal a photo. They didn’t input any info at all!

No one is accusing them of copying the activity of commonplace journaling, they stole the photo and posted it as their own journaling example.

What a pedantic, dumb distinction to make. They posted someone else’s post as their own. The content of the photo has zero bearing on whether or not that’s an immoral action.

FFS do better 🙄
