Title: My photo on fb page, what to do??
Post by: Stockmaan on January 18, 2016, 11:40

Hi!

I notice, that one of my stock photo was used on FB for the cover without mentioning the source.
Is this legal, what should I do ?  >:(

Tnx for answers.

If someone purchased a license to use the image they have no obligation to mention the source.

It may be perfectly legal.

Why do you think this would be any different from any web banner usage of a licensed photo?

If it's a photo of a model claiming to be someone you know they're not, then that would be a problem and you could report it to Facebook (which has a policy of people using their real names).
