(C) Violation Alert

Postby thhynes » Fri Jun 18, 2010 6:59 am

For those of you that have posted any of your images of your fish, tanks, corals..etc...
be aware that your work could be used by a web site with your knowledge!

Back in 2002 I took this photo located here

http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/gobyph ... Shrimp.htm


This week while surfing the internet I cam across this

http://www.reefs2go.com/product/F-GOBY- ... n-Goby.htm

I am currently in a battle with this company to take down this photo
or to compensate me in some way for the use of my material....

did you have a signature or watermark on the picture at all? If you ever look to post up more picts, you may want to look into one of the two...

I had the same thing happen to me with an article I wrote. It was posted without my knowledge and the guy argued since it was already on the internet, I had no claims to it anymore. That was a no-no though. If you copyright your pics or articles, they can't use it without your permission.
