Real Estate Agent Stole one of my Flickr Images
PaulieWalnuts:
Stinkin bastages.
This is why I avoided Flickr for a long time. There's no mistaking he stole it because security is set to give the spaceball.gif so it's a screenshot or something.
Anybody ever have to deal with this? What have you done about it?
Plus some designer just hit me up for using an image in return for "a nice placement of my name on the new site". Yippie. I responded with a quote.
EDIT: The stolen image is on his business website.

Bad idea. Not enforcing your rights just encourages more theft.

Err ... why have you got images on Flickr? If you're intent on making money through stock I don't understand where Flickr comes in to the plan. You're just setting yourself up for issues such as this with no likelihood of a financial gain. Say 'red' backwards.

Because I still enjoy the more social and creative aspects of photography.
I'm making money with stock. But I need creative breaks to keep my sanity and get back to shooting for enjoyment. That's the stuff I send to Flickr. And that stuff wouldn't be accepted for stock. If it did get accepted it probably wouldn't sell.
