Everyday I discover how my page is stolen ! On Facebook first: I am not on Facebook and it is so easy to pick my fashion info, scans, collages, everything and to create your Facebook page ! Check this page https://www.facebook.com/clooneyamal
It is just a shame. This person has no respect and probably she didn’t know which is the meaning of intellectual propierty.
You don’t own the original images either. Anyone can source the photos and start a blog or page on Amal!

Unless you took the photos, unless you have paid license for the photos, they are not yours. If you licensed them, you are one of 100’s who have, all you own is the intellectual property that is this blog, and anything you PERSONALLY have written. You do not own the photos, the rights, or the legal entity of Amal Clooney. You are, at best, an aggregator of information. My guess is, should the magazines, that you’ve illegally posted, violating copyright agreements, sue you, you’d lose. There is no fight that blogs are news outlets, therefore able to fight using fair use.

Dear Grace,
The scans are from my magazines that I bought. Digital and paper versions. The IDs are property of the website. Why not to post a source ? I am for fairness.

Please don’t relent to the lack of authenticity and originality of others. If you do they win and the right people end up loosing. For someone that does not follow many blogs and is very selective I am sincerely in awe of what you have created and look forward everyday to hitting the refresh button. I implore you to continue; the me copy-cats and those who have no originatilty or integrity will get what they are due. Stay the course and thank you for your impeccable work.

I too love this blog, I found it right after the wedding and it is the only place I have found such a comprehensive encapsulation of Amal’s style complete with details on the outfits and accessories. Your hard work is very much appreciated and you know what ? watermark your work if you have to, I don’t think the first commenter understood what you meant by your work, meaning the pictures, research etc that you collate for this site.

Dear Nati, your blog is fantastic and very professional and I do hope you keep up your good work.
I was watching the facebook fanpage you mentioned for days and must say, after starting over poorly structured they made tabula rasa and started from scratch, developing very transparent quotations. Honestly, the most thoroughly I have seen on facebook pages about Amal Alamuddin. So far I also could not see one quotation of your page. That might give you some peace regarding this particular page.
Your frustration is understandable, I know that too working in public relations. Anyhow I wonder if it is really necessary to chalk someone up publicly starting a small fanpage on facebook. What we are doing here, this should be fun. Anyhow we don’t know how communications with them went. In any case, they look good today.
Last but not least talking about intellectual property the issue remains if people running pages like such on facebook or yours here actually have contacted each source for allowance. I doubt about that. And that includes handmade scans as well as simple copy-paste-procedures. But I suppose each holds the responsibilities and risks on their own.
Nevertheless your page is fantastic and good fun. Keep up the good work!
