I used to work in a high school. Crediting the work done by others was regularly taught, reinforced, and enforced by the faculty. It's basic. It's just something you need to do.

I share the same opinion. It is just so much easier to be nice and a decent human!

Gosh! What an inept and unprofessional attitude. And unfortunately, one we see too often. It happened to me several times to be plagiarized or seeing my pictures posted somewhere uncredited. Not once I managed to have me credited or saw apologies: the best I got what a silent change of picture without aknowledging me. I even found one of my pictures in a book: in that case the publisher couldn't play dumb, so they apologized and offered me a compensation. But even in that case, it was "someone else's fault". Never they take any responsibility, not even by accident.

It’s never an accident, in this time and age. Shame on them, and good for you to stick to your guns and not relent: I noticed in this case it was also “someone else’s fault”. And this is particularly despicable as the person I was talking to was a head of service. Shame on them all.
