[Aroid-l] flowersforme123- another photo stealer

From: atetzlaff at rogers.com (ALLAN TETZLAFF) on 2008.01.07 at 04:26:19(16924) This seems pretty odd to me. I don't see that we need a copyright issue.... what happened to basic manners? .... someone writes an article, takes a picture, writes a song.... does it take a rocket scientist to know that when you want to use something that does not belong to you, it is simply proper to ask? And sorry, but I don't buy that 'can't find' bit. If you can find the image, you're on the page of whoever it (hopefully) belongs to. There are photos on lots of sites that I have taken, and I was asked for those photos and permission to use them. When people say they don't understand why it's a big deal.... sorry, but I know people who are not intellectual wizards that still have manners. +More Susan B wrote: I don't know about all cases, but in my case I have a notice on each and every page of my website: All photos copyrighted, please ask permission before using. Most photos, even those on google images, can be traced to a web site. And most web sites have contact information on them. Or, and this requires a bit more work, go to http://www.whois.net/ type in the website addresss, and see if the contact registrant information is available.

Some picts say copyright but most don't so I think the majority of the time they are honest mistakes. Of course using an incorrect pict isn't very bright. How does one contact a pict owner when there is no name to contact? ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan B To: Aroid L Sent: Friday, January 04, 2008 8:13 PM Subject: [Aroid-l] flowersforme123- another photo stealer The seller flowersforme123 has used photos stolen from my website on quite a few of her auctions. 200133350054, 200133347754, 200133348402, 200133349756, 200133513649, 200133351248, 200133351560, 200133355503, 200133355900, 200133356435, 200133505052, 200133505219, 200133508875, 200133509578, 200133513268, 200133513649, When I contacted her initially (I thought she used only two photos in two auctions) she denied it, and then said she gets 99% of her images from Google Images! D'OH! Then I get this- (in part) . it was a mistke... your the first oerson who has ever emailed me like this so i dont want to ever offend you... can i ask you a question.. why do folks get so mad at folks using their photos... The funniest thing is, the photos she stole are NOT of the plants she is trying to sell. So, whattya going to do? I can't see the problem getting any better- only worse!
