My images being sold on Flickr for wallpaper ?!

Hi All,

 I found our images being resold by another party on Flickr for wall paper is that allowed?. They even changed one shot just a little bit by adding some window blinds. One Photo is of my two dogs laying on my couch in my living room, so I am pretty positive it is mine. Found it through Tin Eye.

Best,
Jonathan

I started a new topic for this.



I am not totally sure I understand what is going on.  Can you give a link?

Jonathan Ross:
Hi Leaf,

 Yea here is a link to my Macro photo from Getty on Flickr that I did not place there and it is being sold as wall paper by another party. I didn't think this was allowed, the resale of images under another's name. I might be wrong but it doesn't seem right to me.

Hi All,

 I zoomed in and found nother name attached to my image on the side of the image. It is www.santabanta.com You might want to take a look at these guys as well. Maybe clearly in their rights but it is news to me.

Best,
Jonathan

I am in the process of downloading all the License Agreements for the sites I upload to. I am through IS and SS and neither one of these sites, Standard OR Enhanced license, allows the posting of an image and allowing others to download it, whether they are selling the image or not. It is considered redistributing. IF a person purchase a photo with the Standard license, they may post it on a website up to 800x600 pixels. Anything else goes to an Enhanced license, but allowing others to download the digital image is forbidden.

If I find any other Agreements that are different, I will post.
