NVLeatherWorx Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 The Tandy legal department has informed me that all of his Social Media accounts have been suspended and that he is no longer active online. Guess that is what happens when you go around taking credit for the work of others; always comes back to bite you on your "seat cushion". Quote Richard Hardie R. P. Hardie Leather Co. R. P.

I'd be willing to bet that he will be back under another name/ID in short order. People like that are hard to stamp out.. like roaches... As for cradom's note about Pinterest, I believe you can post most anything, as long as you do not claim it to be yours and leave or note the source or owner of it... But I may be wrong. Someone correct me if I am. Quote Tom Gregory Legacy Leathercraft www.legacyleathercraft.com www.etsy.com/shop/legacyleathercraft

Moderator immiketoo Posted January 27, 2017 Author Moderator Report Posted January 27, 2017 He was saying thank you to other people's work, including mine. Not actually saying it was his but implying it. Anyway, this was an exercise in social media abuse and I doubt he will do it again. Quote Learnleather.com
Mark Peters Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 Pinterest is pretty much a community of copyright infringement. Providing "credit", etc. does not give one the right to display the works of others without permission. Quote
Members Tinkerton Posted March 12, 2017 Members Report Posted March 12, 2017 Good that this guy was shut down, at least for now. As for Pinterest, it's essentially an image based bookmarking system. If you're not wild about your work being pinned by someone, you can contact Pinterest and they will remove the pin. Quote
Members cjartist Posted March 12, 2017 Members Report Posted March 12, 2017 I love it when other's pin my work. It is great marketing. Quote Check out my Unique Marketing Strategy and see if it might also work for you to get paid for your art.
