Someone else using my pictures as their own again.

What is is with people these days?!?

While perusing eBay I stumbled across this:

Take a look at the pics, then click HERE and scroll down...look familiar? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I know it's just a pic of some random parts, but it still bothers me. This isn't the first time it's happened either. A couple of years ago, I caught Ground Up using my Holley carb pics off of my website on <span style="font-weight: bold">their</span> website. (still have the screen grabs from that)

I was not amused.

It took quite a bit of phone jockeying, but I finally managed to get to one of the upper-ups and they had the pics down later that day (naturally they feigned ignorance, telling me their carb supplier was the one who provided them with the pics).

If someone wanted/needed to use one of my pics, all they'd have to do is ask and chances are I'd agree. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

I guess I'm going to have to start watermarking every pic I post now. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]
