Re: Icemud's Grow 8.0 - New Intelligent-Gro LED - 2 x IGRO-228 LED - Testing And Revi
Hie Icemud,
being absent for a long while and just catching up the journals.
really solid buds, envy lol.
Hey Growgrow, welcome back.
Wishing this journals clean for just grow review only, nothing else.
Well as a test grower my responsibility is to give a full review of my experience which includes if a product works, if something goes wrong how is it handed, tests, data and real work results, as well as anything else that may be informative to those who like to be educated consumers, as this journal is a "test". I do hear ya that it would be nice to just stick to growing, which I did on my previous 6 journals, however, when sponsored to do a test journal, then I have much more responsibility to my readers to cover all things. I get what you are saying though.
be fair to say, public post and pictures should be allowed to reposted&forwarded if they did not claim they are the owner of the post or photos.
If not so, all facebook users are thieves, since main idear of facebook is sharing and sharing, no matter post or photos and videos.
but when sharing in facebook, every audiences understand who is the owner of the pictures and post.
Well unfortunately that is not how the laws of copyright work, and what they did was not acceptable even under "fair use" because they were using it to promote their product, which is different from Intelligent Gro's Lights (I have seen the proof of spectrum differences) They are not even using my photos as "education" because its misrepresenting to the viewer a false image of the products they sell since they are different from Intelligent Gro's lights.
Therefore, I find it disrespectful to me as they could have reached out to me and simply asked for permission. I also find it disrespectful to Intelligent Gro because Intelligent Gro is sponsoring my grow, and Intelligent gro basically could have sold these panels, but decided to give them to me for free for the purpose of showing off their product. So I don't see it as right that Ctlite can come and copy my photos without permission, use them to try to falsely represent their products, with an ultimate goal that it will bring more money to them. I don't have any agreements, partnerships and owe Ctlite nothing at all, and I do not feel they should be using my photos to promote their products, because I am using Intelligent Gro's products.
There is a difference between sharing someones photo on facebook and strait up ripping someones photo for use to sell a product therefore I see it as wrong. I also as a consumer do not personally like to support companies that pull crap like this, so as a "test grower" I wanted to put it in public that these people are
I think CTLite also should let others know icemud is the owner, if they did so, should not define them as thief.
if hating of being reposted, should claim at beginning of the journals, then everyone will understand, copy and forward or sharing your photos is not permitted.
I don't think CTlite should be nothing with me, and they should stop taking my works of art (photos) and using them for commercial purposes. Its not like this happened 1x and then it was over. I have had to write 3 different people, on 7 different occasions, finding my photos on 5 different facebook pages, and over 20 different product pages on Alibaba, plus also on the brochures they are printing and sending with lights. I would write them a few emails, they would remove only the ones I found, but saying they are sorry and have removed ALL of them and it wont happen again. But then I find more photos, write the email, get same unheartfelt apology, and then repeat... its like groundhog day with this company. Especially after me making it very clear I was displeased with them pulling these stunts, and they continued to do it. To me it screams "unscrupulous business, poor ethics, and disrespect."
us american like to stand on top of ethics to accuse other countries, don't forget Prism door and snowden let us american discreditable.
hope to enjoy your grow only, not other else.
thank a lot for being seen your amazing grow.
I don't quite understand what you are getting at here though, and forgive me if I am wrong, arent you from south america? I just kind of see the direction of your posts, and it sort of give me the feeling that you may be trolling my journal. Forgive me if I am wrong but your strong position you are taking on the whole Ctlite photo thing has me suspicious of your intention. I hope I am wrong and apologise if I am but I find it strange that out of all the info my journal is packed with, this is the point you wanted to bring up. Just sayin.....
probably at least 2 weeks out, maybe longer
