Do not post any pic that you don't want stolen here! Someone who shall
remain nameless at the moment likes to steal other people's pics and
pass them off as their own. It is a form of intimidation when you tick
off this person. I have reported this person to their isp and intend to
take matters further. This is a warning if you post pics here, do not
post anything personally identifying and do not post anything you
wouldn't want stolen. This type of nonsense ruins it for a lot of
people posting pics here through tinypics or other links. People in
case anyone is wondering, pics of food even if uploaded to tinypic
remain the property of the person who took the pic, period. Anyone who
would stoop as low as to steal a pic is worse than dog sh*t on a shoe!

PS. I hope the offender loves my new sig. That should give this piece
of crap all the attention it craves!

Eh. I don't care. It doesn't hurt me if someone pretends my picture is
theirs. But thanks for the warning nonetheless.

photography of food so noteworthy that someone has to steal it? Good lord!

Some low life two faced piece of crap reposted my pizza pic as their
own. I received a tip to check out the pic posted and sure enough it is
my pic! Talk about a sorry excuse for a person.

I'm not saying it is noteworthy or even good but it is mine. I can
prove it is my pic. That idiot reposted it as theirs likely as a way to
intimidate me or poke fun. Either way stealing someone else's pic then
claiming it is theirs is just plain wrong! Some people really will
stoop so low. And no I'm not nuts but thanks for your concern.

Such things are copyrighted automatically as soon as they are fixed in
permanent media. As soon as she saved the pictures on film/disk, they
were copyrighted. However, she'll be required to prove that the pictures
are indeed hers, created by her from start to finish, before anything
else can be done.

Actually, the pic is copyrighted automatically. The ISP will do
something, (they will shut down the website, probably before they even
investigate) but only if the copyright holder frames it as a DMCA
violation -- and doesn't act like a nutcase when she contacts them (this
last part is why I haven't suggested it yet)

I have no problem proving the pic is mine. I have the date it was
created on my camera to the date it was uploaded to my computer as well
as the date it was uploaded to tinypic. Tinypic tracks isps so knows
who uploads what. It was theft of intellectual property, plain and
simple. It takes a nasty piece of work to do that.

What's interesting about all this is that most of the pictures posted here
are of such awful technical quality that nobody should be taking credit for
them. What's the fuss all about?

I hold copyright on that picture, pure and simple. I took it and can

I have Adobe Photoshop so could have added digital watermarking. I just
didn't think anyone would be so low to steal one of my pics. It's not
that it is great or even good, it is the principal that it was theft,
pure and simple! I hold copyright on that pic and no one has the right
to use it for any reason. I intend to follow this one through for theft
of intellectual property and copyright infringement. Heck, it even
shows my counter top and things on it. When I first posted the pizza
pic, I explained how I made it and how it was a family event. That
piece of scum even turned my words against me in their mock post meant
to intimidate. BTW, a few here really jumped all over me when I posted
the pic because according to them that wasn't a true pizza so even they
know I posted the tiny link to the pic. At least one poster was honest
enough to acknowledge the pic had been posted before. To that poster
thanks.

I've given you the secret code-word to get your complaint taken
seriously by the offender's ISP (it's "DMCA", in case you weren't paying
attention.) What you do with it is up to you. Try not to act like a
jackass; the ISP is not the one at fault.

Good luck, and best regards,
Bob

Yes Bob and I do thank-you greatly. I know it isn't the isp's fault so
have not taken a heavy hand in that regard. I've had DH check over all
complaint letters too. He tends to have the cooler head something that
is needed when filing complaints. The isp is actually quite friendly
and more than willing to act. I've provided the necessay proof
including all dates from when the pic was taken to when it was posted to
tinypic to when it was stolen. I'm in the process now of having all my
pics removed from tinypic.

I just hope the long sig is soon dropped. It loses impact when it's
repeated over and over, to say nothing of the bandwidth space. Maybe
patches is furious but she has made her point. Nuff said.

Me too. I post pictures partly with the intent that some may like them
enough to make framed copies to hang on their walls, use as wallpaer on
their PC, give as gifts. I haven't seen any, not a one, from ~patches~
that anyone would want, not even for TP.

Okay, honey, let me tell you a little story about something that happened to
me oh, about nine years ago now. I posted some recipes on another usenet
group. And this guy posted them here on RFC, claiming them as his own. The
funny thing was, he posted them with exactly the same typos as I had made so
it was obvious he just copy/pasted them. I was outraged, of course. And I
posted a reply to HIS post that he had copied my post down to the last
letter. What happened? He disappeared. Poof. This "clique" banded
together to tell him to get lost. Which I suspect will happen in any case
where someone actually plagerizes or truly harrasses someone. I doubt there
will be a war about photographs since this ng isn't about taking pictures of
food. Some folks like to; I have better things to do with my time.

Thanks Jake. I'm pursuing this issue through tinypics, the offenders
and legally. It's become a principal thing now. The offender thought
is was a funny way to either mock or harass me. Let's see how funny the
offender thinks it is now.

Sorry Dora, the sig will be changed often enough to hopefully not get
boring. It's a lot shorter than some sigs and within acceptable sig
length. I'm not even furious anymore. Now I'm going after the offender
legally and I'm doing so in a very calm and rational manner. The
offender thought it was a funny thing to do. I think the offender will
have a change of attitude very shortly

Speaking of funny, did you know that if the thief claims that their use
of your picture is a derivative work that constitutes a *parody*, their
use is protected? In other words, if they took your picture
specifically to mock you (rather than to use it as their own work),
there may not be much you can do about it. HTH :-)

Oh I'm pretty sure you can figure out who the person is Sorry excuse
of a person if you ask me. If you're low enough to steal someone's pic
there is nothing you will stop at. Absolutely no moral values at all
and now in a deep load of sh*t. Yep, pretty funny thing to try to
intimidat just not the most brillant but then the poster doesn't have a
huge amount of smarts.

I don't know. Two-faced meaning nice to your face and
stab you in the back when you turn around. I don't know
who that would be.

<snipped>

patches, you are obviously very p*ssed off about this. We understand. If
I may make a suggestion? Use Photoshop to watermark your pix next time
and then you don't have to worry. I, for one, enjoy looking at food pix,
so don't let it stop you.

None of my photos are so precious, valuable, worth money, etc. that I would
care if someone using "tiny pics" stole them. Honestly, it's all
histrionics about nothing. Unless you are a professional food photographer
for magazines, who gives a rip?

Oh for chrissakes - WELCOME TO THE INTERNET. This has been going on
since day 1. Your post is like DON'T DROP A $100 BILL ON THE SIDEWALK
BECAUSE SOMEONE MIGHT TAKE IT BEFORE YOU COME BACK.

What else is new?
