Image Sleuth / Coca Cola on Facebook

« on: June 25, 2013, 08:49 »

Hi guys, I have recently realized that Coca Cola Romania is using, to promote their business on their Facebook page, photos grabbed from social networks and photo sharing sites. The problem is that their page looks different in different countries, even if it's the same link:

https://www.facebook.com/cocacola

So, before writing a letter to the headquarters, can you please check their Facebook page and, if anything looks suspicious, post a screenshot here like the one attached by me? Don't forget to specify the country you are posting from.

Maybe it's just the case in Romania, but I suspect it's a little larger problem.

Thanks in advance to all of you who want to stop photo stealing!

Image Sleuth / Respect Copyright Campaign

« on: April 09, 2013, 10:08 »

Hi!

I've just launched a small campaign against image stealing. The main idea is that people don't usually associate a certain picture with an author, and we should try to change that. We should try to educate, rather than simply bullying image stealers.

I've created a Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/356678121119787/, feel free to join.

You can use the photos available https://www.facebook.com/groups/356678121119787/photos/ as Facebook covers and profile pictures in order to spread the word.

Also, if you have examples of your work being stolen, you can post evidences in the group so we can discuss.

If you can help, please spread the word! It's a constructive way of protecting our creations.

Although I work for DT, the campaign is not connected to any agency and will never be. It's a photographers' appeal to general public, not an advertising campaign.

Image Sleuth / Facebook Page using stolen photos

« on: January 14, 2013, 16:31 »

Hi, I've found a Facebook page using only stolen photos here:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Blue-Air/127545187653.

I know, what else is new? The thing is, the page belongs to an airline company, and they are using the stolen photos to promote their business. I have filled 10 reports to Facebook and they were very fast in removing the stolen content. I also had several discussions with the persons behind the page, they simply don't care.

So, if you find your photos there you can fill in a report for copyright infringement directly to Facebook here:

https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/?id=208282075858952 If there are enough complaints, Facebook will shut down their page.

The page is in romanian, but only the photos matter in this case. Cheers!
