What the heck is this!?

Apparently someone just plagarized your forum post and stole your work. I'd be pretty pissed if I were you and file a complaint and order them to take it down.

aw man, once you edit the photo and save the replacement, it changes the link. I put text on all the photos that said easyphototoday.com stole them. bummer.

 

[robertwsimpson]

and the pictures are still up in that thread! what the heck man!

 

[robertwsimpson]

they are hosting my photos. That's not right.

and the pictures are still up in that thread! what the heck man!

Wow, some ballsy thieves. I figured the would just refer to YOUR stored photos and their current locations, but it would seem like they have actually well and truly "lifted" your original work and are hosting it themselves, on another server.

As you found out earlier with the European skiing area photos, the information found in tags on Flickr allows image thieves to search, locate, and then rip-off images with wonderful efficiency.

I would have expected more from a photography site that spells "Galeries" with one "l" on their navigation bar.

Unbelievable. That's frustrating seeing them steal your stuff! Just this morning, I was thinking about other photogs with online presence and if there is any concern over not just photo and content theft, but identiity theft.

Where did the pictures go? Its says they have been removed?

Anyway, I just got a Tokina 16-50mm F/2.8 and its quickly become my favorite lens. I had the 12-24 Tokina also but figured I probably won't miss the extra 4mm and this ones faster, so I sold that. I considered the Tamron which is why I was curious to see the pics.

check out my flickr. It's the only lens I've used for the past week or 2.
