For those of you who have followed some of my other threads, no you know why the big ugly watermarks I have been forced to use. This outfit has since corrected the theft. This time the webmaster was to blame.

How did you handle this issue? Was there at least a sincere apology by addition of wrong doing?

if you dont want it stolen dont put it on the web , or as you do Ray watermark it. The thing with the digital age is its very easy for would be thieves to find you work...

maybe they corrected it on the main banner, but your images still show on the one a little further down :/

Its a bit like leaving your 20D on a coffee table , in the middle of a tourist square and blindfolding yourself and then hoping somebody wont take it. If its attractive enough and can be found by somebody who might have a use for it , then its gonna get nicked. Its so easy to steal images on the internet with impunity.

Is that image something you made money or have the potential to make money from?

im just messing around
but if you post something on the web and think its bulletproof you are abit of a fool...
best bet is just not to post if you are so protective of your images
or expect people to rip them off..
