Not only have you posted them on this forum without seeking my permission but the links show that you have uploaded them into your own 'Fatmonkey' Photobucket account and from what I can gather appear to be passing them off as your own work.


I have collected the images on my own computer over a long period of time, mainly from Flickr or via Google image search. I did not keep a record of who took them, or where I got them from, so that's why I have uploaded them to my own image account (sometimes after substantial editing in Photoshop). I haven't passed them off as my own except where they are my own (indeed I have specificially said that they are not my own) but I am happy to remove any photos that you feel breach your copyright. Please identify which images are yours as I have no idea who you are.

There is only one photograph in that thread which is mine. It's the 5 picture of Buachaille Etive Mor

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...eEtiveMor5.jpg

Without being able to see your photobucket account I have no way of knowing whether you have uploaded or used any of my other images.
Now you see that reply would REALLY pi** me off!! Id expect an apology at least!! Tell him you are consulting a lawyer who specialises in copyright infringement on whether to take things further, see what he says!!

Re: Don't you hate it when you find your own images on the web...

I don't think it's so much that Gaz (though posting without permission of the original tog is incredibly rude and ignorant)... I think it's more that the reply he sent was so off and rude - most people owuld apologise! And to say that the photo 'didn't quite make the grade' and imply that it may have needed editing - it's just not right. What he's doing is very wrong.

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. The quote I posted was that of someone actually berating Phil for having the audacity to complain!

I do wonder if the pic-thief would complain if we were to use his car, for example, and then excuse it by saying that we had to put fuel in it and empty the ashtray, and anyway we didn't make any money out of it...
