Hiya everyone,Just putting the word out there and to see if I can find the owner of this budgie photo... As I believe it shouldn't be attach to this companies advertisement... http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Pets-Horses/...rue&AdOnTop=Why you ask...? Well, because they also have another advertisement with another photo...http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Pets-Horses/...rue&AdOnTop=And this one belongs to me...! I was not happy at all and have since contacted them to have it removed ASAP... Our photos are protected by copyright laws... Only found this today while I was looking for show cages... Not happy at all...

 

 

Edit... 15mins after posting...

Yippeee...! Already had a reply from them and they are removing my photo...

Your photo is still there.

I know... :/ They said it can take a few hours for it to be removed from the site... So now I wait...

I previous member of this forum laid claim to my photos once.....I never gave permission. Once she had them in use she gave permission for other individuals to use them on their websites................I found them and tackled them on it. I wouldnt mind so much if permission was sought and granted. Anything else feels like theft.

i look at it this way any pics on net no matterwhat they are any thing writtings what ever once you post it its really free game

if you dont want it stolen or posably used copied then shouldnt be on net to start its the best way to deal with it

in my opinion

It's true, you really never know who will see your photos and re-upload them somewhere else

 

I guess the only real way to fight it is to watermark your images by putting your name or trademark as text across it. But I can see how it will tarnish the cuteness of budgie pics

Same here Kaz I'm the same, I dont mind people using them thats when they ask of course... I've had people ask to use my photos before and its not a problem... I just like to be asked first... Old fashion I guess... :rofl: But we all have different thoughts about it... Some people might have thought it as a complaint that a pet shop or somebody else wants to use their photo for something...

 

I completely understand what your saying GenericBlue and I don't think I would have been so p**sed off about it if it hadn't been a pet shop... If I had 'used' one of their photo's they would have sued me for copyright because they are a business and I'm just a person... Just one person, who cares about her... And I don't think a business should be allowed to get away with it... I think thats why I was so mad about it all... And what you say is true GenericBlue, don't want others to see it simple don't put it on the net... I can agreed with that... But it would be nice to think some people do have respect for others images or writtings... :yes:
