Does anyone on here speak French ?? Last time I did I was 16 :lol: :lol:

Id like to know what this guys is talking about ... http://www.bangorama.fr/?p=105

He's used my Cameleon picture from my flickr account :( He has named me and linked to my photostream but should he really be using my picture without asking ??

Thought id better ask before I email him lol

or babelfish...both work well
 
I think he's having a giraffe (or chameleon)! Took me ages to spot the link at the bottom of the page, and looks to me like a feeble attempt to cover his ass if the owner of the image did contact him.

Got to ask... how did you discover this copyright abuse?

I was really bored at 4am this morning, so I was looking through my flickr stats :lol: Then I found this website http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/dna.php?username=jbobvw and in the egosurf section I found a link to the French guys site.

So he shouldnt have used the picture without permission then :bang: What can/should I do about it ??
 
If it's just some guy's blog then you're never going to get paid for it, so you can either get him to remove it and lose the link or just leave it.
 
The guy is just talking about what he does and what he likes :shrug:

He's just saying a bit about himself & family - married, has a son/dog, which football team he supports, Nante & the French National team. Says if you want to leave him a message & chat feel free....nothing too exciting

...He's linked to your Flickr account to sort of acknowledge your ownership, up to you really if you want to pursue it but depends how much "harm" you think is done by using your shot ?

I think it's besides the point whether it's a blog, or it's linked back. I wouldnt bother trying to get money from him, but i think it's cheeky ANYONE nicking an image. What's more, the image has been altered.

I would at least make him aware of the fact that it's a breach of copyright and it would have been nice if he'd asked.
 
Im not massively bothered about it seeing as it’s not commercial it just would have been nice to be asked !!!

Its one of the very first pictures ever took and I dont like it lol Ive only kept it because my girlfirend loves Cameleon's.

That was going to be my next question !

What licence should by pictures have on flickr ?

Whichever one you want them to have, they're all clearly explained so you can just choose the one that has the terms you want.

Bear in mind that a license won't stop image thieves from abusing the copyright, but will make the copyright easier to enforce.
