I wish i could do soemthing for free.
I dont have much money, so i cant afford to pursue this.

Everyone call them up and harass them!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

haha ^ to the money part...i feel ya.

I mean you have any legal friends? All it usually takes is a drafted legal letter letting them know that you will pursue if they do not take down the photo. Now if you can / can't pursue thats a different story.

 

maybe calling the better business bureau to file a claim against them?

also, it would really suck if you happened to sign up for a bunch of mailing lists/phone lists with his address/phone number. That would really suck if he received a bunch of mailers/phone calls from people trying to sell stuff.

 

I dont know anyone that is a lawyer. I need to find one tho

Suvving, that is an awesome idea, I might have to find some mailing lists to sign up for.

 

what we should do is everyone should call him non stop all day everyday and just tell him how much of ann Anus_Hole he is for doing that, I mean if we could get 24 of us to call him on the hour every hour everyday forever, just make it a daily ritual LOL, youtube it lol.
Im down Ill call him over and over and over and over and over and over and over, and if we could get a few others and let him know that, hes messing with the Familia LOL.

 

CALL!!!

I called last night and got the same crap again.

 

They still havent removed it!!

 

dang dude thats some crap, Ill call them tomorrow lol

 

lol, i havent called them in a bit. i should call tomorrow as well!!

 

theres nothing that can be done. thats why all of my pictures are watermarked or say my name on them. that way its enforceable

 

yup, i have realized, nothing can be done. But i dont ever go laying down.

 

Ridiculous. Someone once tried to sell my brother's car on Craigslist without his knowledge. They put the real VIN and real photos of the car taken from the web. The "seller" was taking Western Union payments and said the car would be available for "pickup" from a "warehouse" in LA after payment was sent. My brother was initially suspected of the crime after a would-be buyer complained about the deal sounding like a scam. However, Craigslist was able to get the info of the poster and it turned out to be someone in Latvia.

Crazy world man. One minute you put pictures of your car online, and the next minute, some guy in Eastern Europe is selling it for profit.

 

Really there is nt much you can do. I have found pics of my car all the way from Ebay to people using it as there own on myspace. Once you post the pic without a watermark or a trademark peice on it. It makes it free game really. I started water marking all my pics. The only un watermarked pics I will send out is to my sponsors so they can use them. Sucks, I feel for you. I just found mine on ebay selling the same wheels again. It sucks, but at the same time you have to find it kinda flattering that someone would want to use the pics in the first place.

This is exactly why I imbed IPTC information into the images as well as a watermark.

 

The only issue is, how does that help anything?

Does it stop them from being able to use the picture?
I proved those photos to be mine. The one company said, SO? The only way i can get them to take it down, is to get a lawyer. And that isnt worth it.

Watermarks are cool, but they do nothing to stop people from using your pictures.

 

wow, that seller got ___ ebay ratings. very very shady.
