Ran across one of my photos on a Czech website this morning. Im not mad, just would like it taken down. I was going to email them however with it being in Czech, would the person even understand what I am asking? Should I just email and see what happens?

No your image can not be used without permission even with credit, unless you released it under a creative commons license.

I've had this happen to me as well, apparently my images are very popular over in Eastern Europe and a company actually released a line of puzzles based on them..... At the end of the day the hassle of trying to go after them just wasnt worth it. Just something for you to consider before wading in and causing yourself undue stress....is it really worth it?

The only thing I would do is ask them to pull it. If they refused, honestly Id just say screw it but I give the benefit of doubt that people are kind and are willing to do the right thing when asked.

I do remember this shot, it was posted on TPF a while ago. Great shot btw. Most young Czechs speak or at least read English so it should not be a prolem.

(my image here)

Owners oval face can congratulate. There is almost no limits and fits them almost all types of glasses. So it depends only on your judgment and trend type to fall in love and you wear them.

Choose from the summer collection of glasses and go for neon colors, ethnic motifs and shiny design."

Let us know how you do. I looked at your work, nice clean stuff. In the future only put your pix on the net at places that don't allow downloads. You can disable downloads at Flickr.

I'm the other way with my photos...I encourage people to download and use my pix. But I don't make a living at it so $ is not on the agenda...freezing time is.
