Ian Johnson - Plagiariser

I have noticed, and it has been brought to my attention again, that Ian Johnson, who is listed as a top contributor to Vintage Vamps & Pin-Ups 1890s - 1970s, has been ripping content from this site hours after it has been posted and passing it off as his own work, with absolutely no credit given back to this site.

In the past, when I contacted Ian directly, who actually stopped doing this for a while. However, over the last few months, he obviously could not hold himself back and has started again, even posting complete model profile texts on Facebook.

Why do you do this, Ian (just for a few likes and comments)? It's great that you enjoy the site, and I certainly don't mind a little publicity, but you never credit Vintage Fetish in any way. Become involved here and make comments on this site where all the information is in context, rather than just abstract info on Facebook.

So I am asking again, and we will be contacting Lorena Thompson, the Facebook group admin, in the hope that you will stop for good this time.

A great deal of work goes into this site, with many others in the background who contribute to hopefully making it an interesting place for those who like Spick and Span and pin-up magazines in general.

So, Ian Johnson, stop reposting the site's content and my words on Facebook; ultimately, you will spoil it for all.

Why not let Ian know what you think by making a comment below?
