There are two hard back books in which I am referred to, that I know of ... one with information (Jamie is in it also) and one that has a huge amount of pictures of my chins in it.
The one that uses me as a reference, also had many other references, I do not agree with some of the things in the book and she does not refer who gave her what information ... but there is nothing I can do about that. So, people that read it might think, I said it, but I did not. I found out about it when someone bought it, then e-mailed me.
The other one, with some pictures of my chinchillas, I did give permission to use my name as photographer of some of the pictures of chinchillas, but not as a source to reference for information ... she did go along with me on that.
If you put the information out there and make it public ... I think they can use it as long as they give credit to who it came from, unless it is posted otherwise, I think, but I am not posative about that.
The internet is like a free-for-all ... if it's there, someone will take it and use it ... regardless if it is right or wrong. Not to much you can do about it.
Other than make sure the information is correct and hope they reproduce it correctly.
Linking to your site is almost uncontrollable, but you do controll those who you link to. There have been a couple that I have asked to remove the link and they have done so. (They were also connected to 'dateing' service web sites. I explained I was a kid friendly site and would preferr they take the link off. They did.)
