Just a thought - FYI for blogger/videos/photos of your dogs.
Being a graphic designer I've learned the hard way to keep my eyes open
for art thieves on the net. I don't usually share my art/tattoos for
this very reason.
That being said. If you own a popular corgi blog/video/anything else and
mind that others use your stuff without permission and call it their
own keep your eyes peeled. I've seen quite a few corgi things being
passed around and claimed by wrongful people.
If you don't care then no worries hehe. I know they are just dog things
but sometimes it can be urking when someone takes your dogs video/photos
and writes a fake story about them and claims them as their own.
It's kind of creepy to me actually.
Here's a slightly good example. - PS the original creator has been told several times in comments that its not a good idea for a puppy to go down the stairs at that age.
Original -
Stolen -
Double Stolen -
Triple Stolen -
While its nice to be posted about - its another to be completely stolen.
- either the whole video posted on another user or re-cut and posted
under another user.
Just a little fyi - thought that came to mind. Nothing too crazy.

The links worked fine for me.
Your point is well taken and a good one to bring up. I think cute Corgi pictures are especially prone to unauthorized re-use, often out of ignorance, and sometimes because the image has moved around the web so much that it's lost it's original owner link. That's why a name on an image or a watermark across it is useful.
Duplicate, triplicate, and fourplicate (!) videos are as common as all get out on YouTube. Everyone seems to think everyone else's videos are fair game. Re-cutting someone else's work without permission isn't nice and of course using unlicensed sound tracks on YouTube videos is a big problem. I confess to having done that myself. Some people claim it's ok under the doctrine of "fair use" as long as the use isn't for commercial gain. Other people disagree with that notion.
Linking to a video on YouTube for the purpose of illustrating a blog post or article doesn't count as thievery, that's why YouTube supplies the link/embed capability just like MyCorgi does for video or photos here. Allowing a video to be viewed on a linked site is part of the YouTube terms of use agreement. If people want all the glory and credit it's good to mark every photo or video with your name and copyright declaration.
I've had some of my motorcycle videos linked all over the world by other motorcycle sites and as long as someone isn't re-cutting them and calling them their own I don't see it as a problem, I appreciate the promotion of my own site. If I didn't want to share the stuff I wouldn't put it out there on-line. However, commercial use or unattributed use is another matter. I've had my still images used without attribution or photographer credit and it is annoying. If someone used them commercially I might just see a lawyer.
What really bothers me is when I find images from my personal website linked and displayed directly by another website. That's not only using my photo without permission but stealing the bandwidth that I buy for that site. My solution in those cases is to replace the linked photo with a "different" one of the same name. Suddenly someone has a "different" sort of photo popping up in their blog or website than what they expected. ;-) "Dude, why do you have a fat guy wearing a thong on your website??" LOL
How bad is the stolen image thing these days? There's a photographer who found a cityscape image that he shot used without the photographer's permission or attribution in Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth." You'd think professional film makers would know better.
I mark all my stuff now with my name, the copyright symbol, and a date. Not likely that I'd sue anyone but at least I get some credit for my work and someone can't say they didn't know it was mine. For my wife's watercolor website I put the photos of her work in a small size and with a large watermark across the image making it impractical to try and reuse the image without credit or for the purposes of copying her art.

True statements all :) and you hit home exactly what I was thinking. There's one thing to post an image and link it to the original person and give credit and then there's another to outright steal it. I'm easy going usually. If you just ask Ill most likely say yes. Its that simple.
I understand the embedding of youtube videos but its the stealing the whole video, putting it in your own channel and then embedding it that bothers me. Never linking back to the original creator.
Some artists I never thought let me use some of their work for projects by just asking through email. Add a little link to their site - some credit and they're happy campers. Just asking usually is all it takes.. its amazing how so many people don't understand that.
