Start watermarking your photos, and you can add your name into the EXIF data. No copyright protection is 100% secure, but some protection is better than none.

yea, all my pictures have a distinct style, so Its not really difficult to tell when I see my pic.

watermark? I believe watermarks are useless IMO. Anyone with digiital imagery experience can remove any water mark in any picture easily.

First you should add a note to your Photobucket album that all images are property of the owner unless specifically stated otherwise, or something like that.

Next just ask mcpig politely to provide the original image with EXIF data so that you can compare it to your original. Let him know that if he refuses that you will be pursuing copyright infringement with Ebay and asking for his user account to be disabled. Even I can tell you some things about your original picture based on the EXIF data, but his has been edited enough that the original data is lost. It'll paint him into a corner pretty quickly.

It's a pretty blatant rip off though. The shadows and cable intersection points give it away pretty much without a doubt.

Wow, sorry to hear that...good luck coming to some kind of resolution, hopefully.

I can see the white erasing where Braid detail used to be.

It gets fun when they so lazy they just hotlink to your pictures. Then you ca do what ever you want. It is especially if it takes them awhile to notice.

 

[RnB180]

I dont care what he sells, as long as he doesnt misrepresent items using my pictures. If they were his pictures I dont give a hoot what he sells.

Can you believe this guy? My gosh...

 

[socrates63]

That sucks, Myo. I hope you find a satisfactory resolution. It's good to see some of the guys here speaking up on your behalf on the fixup forum.

 

[Jahn]

i just did that too. lookit the tile under the cable - it is identical! ridiculous!

 

[enjoi_rootbeer]

reminds of the starburst commericial when the kid encounters the klepto and he one by one takes the kid's shirt, helmet, starburst, then bike...

what an idiot though. start a boycott.

 

[RnB180]

he still says its his picture and now he is insinuating I changed his picture in mine?

Im speechless

 

[Edwood]

F#ck being polite.

Notify him that he is infringing your copyrighted image.

Copyright is implied in every image you create. Regardless of whether you file or not. Now, proving it, and suing over it requires registering a copyright. But you can still make threats against the guy.

Make the same notification to eBay too.

Anyone else find the guy's filename for his modified image ironic? "adobe" is at the end of the filename.

Notify eBay ASAP with links to your site and links to the fixup thread too - any little helps. Get that bugger off of the internet.
