I'm glad it is a sign of friendship and not a signal of war, at least for me.<br /><br />I've decided that marked (and possibly marred, ugly) pictures may be better than having my pictures stolen.<br /><br />I vouched for you personally on the forum.

You're an expert in your field, you write informative posts with great images, so you'd be an easy target. I'm not sure adding the watermark helps. You see I put them on mine, but I can remove them in 10 seconds in Photoshop, so the only thing I hope for is a thief's to have a moment's hesitation in stealing my photos. Yeah, right. I post them to share without expecting remuneration, but still if someone was gaining a commercial benefit from my work I would consider legal action. Sometimes just a letter from a lawyer asking for a royalty payment and credits can settle the matter. If you decide not to, then best is to rant hard and get over it fast... and move one. Don't let them steal your peace of mind in addition to your posts.Franciscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733111654769386624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-49436879298068649852011-08-07T11:58:01.543+08:002011-08-07T11:58:01.543+08:00Some people have no ethics it seems.

You can report it to google and have them taken off. There are always people out there who will take advantage of this and now it's important to watermark our work. We spend hours and hours upon the photo shoots, waiting in lines, hiking massive trails, sitting quietly waiting for that "perfect moment", editing, cropping, driving....for what? Someone to steal our work?? I've recently started labeling my work after that incident. I'm sorry and I do understand your frustrations.Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-67804140623250001482011-08-06T22:33:33.200+08:002011-08-06T22:33:33.200+08:00I am sorry to hear this happened to you.

And now its your turn to be victimized.<br /><br />I'm just too lazy to put watermark on the photos I post in my blog. I guess they're not worth stealing anyway...LOL<br /><br />On the brighter side, take a little pride that your pictures were stolen for another reason. It means they're good. These people don't know what 'acknowledgment' means. Just pity them.<br /><br />Their negative reaction when you confronted them was a manifestation of their guilt. Maybe it would help if you publish their sites so people who care would disseminate info not to do business with these people.Solitude Risinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458281340276483361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-28025071069945487762011-08-06T03:48:31.022+08:002011-08-06T03:48:31.022+08:00Hi Andrea - I'm sorry this has happened to you...Hi Andrea - I'm sorry this has happened to you! I work in the Internet industry and know a few things you can do. My Companies website (all 60,000 pages) was completely uplifted and published to a different domain by someone, then riddled with Ads - and we got them closed down. It's happened to hudreds of texts of ours, photos - I could carry on telling you stories, suffice it to say I have 12 years experience of dealing with this!<br /><br />The first thing to do is write to the owner of the website and tell them to remove your images and texts and that if they do not, you will file a DMCA Takedown notice with the company that hosts their website AND with Google, Bing et al. That will usually do the trick as Google will remove their site completely from their index which equals death for most websites.<br /><br />If that doesn't work or you need help contact me via my blog or e-mail me!

Your photos are phenomenal, and I can see why they would be tempting to anyone with theft on the brain. I'm sorry this has happened to you. I don't watermark my pictures (though they are not of your caliber) so maybe mine are out there somewhere too.

I really do! <br /><br />Even my post titles are stolen for naughty websites, maybe flower expressions helps them sell sex.<br /><br />Now, I got to do extra work putting watermarks in every picture and I also hope my readers don't regard these marks as obstructions.<br /><br />Please pardon me for saying this. It looks like you have become their 'ghost writer' without pay. I wonder what else you can do to stop this. I really have not respect and I despise these people who are so thick skin as to steal from others but not enough brain to write the articles themselves.<br /><br />Remember to watermark your pics. - at least any reader would know it belongs to you. You can use Picasa program (FOC from google) to do this.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.com
