My Image was STOLEN!!

[YoungPhotoGirl]

Yes I am. And I won't take this thread down until my photo is removed. ...........

How old are you? Two? Three? Four?

Can you please remove yourself from this thread. I don't need to be insulted. Thanks.

Feel sorry for you guys!!!

It's not so bad. We technically have copyright at the moment of creation here too, which can shut someone down. But if you want to get PAID (I do), then you need the registered copyright. And it's nice to have the certificate as prima facie, whenever it comes up, then there's really no question.

That's good to hear, was hoping it was more widespread. Saves a lot of heartache for us NZ photographers.

No problem.

gonna have to agree with 480sparky here, I'd be focusing on taking legal action rather than complaining here. I've had images stolen hundreds of times (most are harmless, instagram and pinterest shares that are resolved quickly), I just issue a DMCA notice

Honestly, I am quite a trusting person. I am sure when she reads my comment she will remove it- otherwise yes I will issue a notice.

I WOULD not create a photograph like she has with MY photo, so it is misrepresenting me as a business if someone becomes aware that its the same photo.

I'm sure Patrick Cariou feels the same way, but that doesn't seem to have been a factor.

So instead of complaining to a bunch of strangers on an innernets forum, why aren't you contacting a lawyer?

Because it's one photo. I am confident that she will remove it, and if not Facebook will (I have had to do this before)
No need for me to turn into a psycho. People make mistakes and I'm just hoping she will be made aware that us photographers keep on top of our work and copyright and not to do it again............. :/

I have been through that with facebook and in my case they have made them take them down (or asked them to i wasn't privy to the convo) so they ended up removed either way. I am not sure how it works on there now though, that was a while ago.

Patrick Cariou ? Sorry I'm unaware of this story?

Do you include in your contracts that the model cannot alter or use the images like this?

Agreed! Every time I have put a notice through Facebook my image has been removed and they have been warned. I think its scares them more actually because facebook warns them they could terminate their account

Yes I do and it is also stated not for commercial use.
