Giving credit/obtaining permission to post designs

I recently had a discussion about personal posting guidelines with another jewelry designer. I've always tended to be very conservative about this. If I use another artist's focal bead in one of my designs, I usually email a picture of my design to the artist and ask her/him if I can post it on WC, or my website. I always give them credit for the bead. The other designer said when she buys a bead, she considers it hers and posts it on a blog or website without permission, but always giving credit to the beadmaker.

Opinions?

As a designer, I'd love to get credit for something I've done. But as a buyer, I believe I own something when I buy it! However, if I do use a lampworked focal in a design, I do give the maker credit if I know who he/she is, but I don't think I need to get permission from them to do so.

I'm always happy to get credit, but I don't expect it as a matter of course. I'm so flattered when I see my name, though! :)

As I don't make much jewelry at the moment I don't have a lot of occasion to do so ...
