Picture Thief

Well this was brought to my attention so I am making this public.

Someone on ebay has stolen my picture from my signature on G35/350zfrenzy.com.

I don't have my avatar on driver so I know he got it from G35/350zfrenzy.com or southeastdrift.com

Take my picture off your auction...I'm reporting you to Ebay.

True but I guess if they read the boards they would see this and take it off if they are decent.

True but I just never thought that someone would do this.

Whats funny is that you can't even see the emblems hardly

When I had my Legend, I hd quite of few of my pics taken off my site at www.acuralegend.com and used for Ebay auctions. Hell, even a big company, www.leatherseats.com used my stock interior pics to sell their aftermarket interior leather kits!

Just take it as a compliment, I know I did.

Unfortunately because you don't have a copyright symbol or watermark, you can't really do much about it. It's basically he said/she said. Hey be happy, he did say "Make your G35 look like this one". He's giving you props!

Copywrite/Watermark symbol is not needed for images you've taken yourself!

True. Dang I can't believe a company took your pic and used it without finding the owner.

I did take it as a compliment, I just didn't write it. I liked it when he said that these emblems would make yours look like this one. LOL.

They are TSW Truxtons 20"

Look at the URL for the image http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...cooperlake.jpg
He's also using your image direct. It happens all the time..

I bet if you renamed the image he would loose it from that page.
Either that or watermark the same image with I'm A BIG THIEF in the center..

Thanks Godzilla, yeah a friend just told me to do that. LOL. I like the watermark idea...they might not notice that but buyers would.
