Etiquette on using some elses pictures as your own

This is a little rant...and reminder!

Not too long ago a friend stumbled across a car he missed out on over a decade ago. A fellow HAMB'er picked up the car and my friend was nice enough to share a picture of the car back when he originally saw it after reading about how it was bought for a project. He asked that the new owner let him know if the car came up for sale. The understanding was that the car was bought as a project, but turns out that the only plan was to make money off of it as the car was very quickly put up on 'that auction site'. My friends picture of the car turned up in the listing without any permission from him. Now, not letting him know it was being put up for sale was a bummer, but using his picture as if it was the sellers?

Moral of the story (and end of rant) if you are planning on using someone elses pictures to make an additional profit at their expense...at least have the common courtesy of asking them if they mind!

 

My grandmother was a morphine hooker.

 

I'm confused. Was Morphine her pimp or what she'd hook for?

 

Cool I just found a new name for my car.

"OO MACK'S GRANDMA"

 

Mine was a Vicodin Tramp !

 

So I'm not gonna lie having heard that story before in person I still got a little lost... The moral of the story is people suck and life's a real "morphine hooker"!

 

Yes and now let's talk about all that copy-n-pasting going on with the Internet.

 

You act like you're suprised? If all he was going to do is turn a profit for it, of course he's going to use any extra pictures he can get to help him sell the thing. Nevermind the fact he didn't give your buddy first dibs on the thing before posting it on ePay.

That's how I'm seeing it anyway.

 

He is not amused...

 

are you mad because he sold the car and not to you
in this case a picture of the car is a picture of the car,

 

Could you pm me your grandmothers phone number.....lmao!!!

 

Wat a minute,you wrote WAS a morphine hooker

 

I sold some bike parts a while back and the guy who bought it was waiting for it to arrive, when he saw it listed again with another seller! he thought i was scammin him and was listing it under another name, i assured him that was not the case and someone used my pics in their ad, i wrote the guy and threatened him if he did not pull the pics immediately, a hour later they were down and he did not see the harm with using my pics so i had my buyer write him and explain it to him. some people are just a-holes and their just ain't no wipe'n them out!

 

The best wat to solve that problem is to put a watermark on the photo. "Stolen form ..."

 

unless the pic was taken by a pro and paid for i really don't see the harm.
i would be more bummed about the not being told about the sale and trying to get the car.

i had a guy sell something that i asked for the "first right of refusal" straight up if he got another buyer for his price. (i was trying to get the cash together and taking too much time) i really didn't mind the sale per say but i found out that he sold it anyway without letting me know it ticked me off a bit! it was his shit of course but i thought we knew each other better than that. i have learned the more you expected from people the more your going to get agro with them. sorry to hear it though.

 

The way I see it is if you post it up on the net for all to see do not be surprised if you find others using it.Sad fact of life.....

 

Life's full of little Surprises isn't it. What's going to happen today?

my great great grandmother was hooked on Lydia Pinkhams Compound.

 

If you post it on the internet, it's now public domain. If you want somthing private, DON'T FUCKIN' POST IT!-MIKE

 

I think if they atleast say "photo by:......" its cool. Ive submitted photos of autocross to our local scca club and they used em, but they didnt credit me. I was kinda upset, so the next time I just asked them to give me credit. They did.

 

was this supposed to be some type of Tech Thread?

I think you missed your mark

maybe we need a Rant week.....? not

 

Who Gives a Fuck ?

How many times have you seen pics of Girls transfered to an avatar or other pics as a Joke.

They arent your Joke Pics & they arent your Girls.

Is that car in YOUR avitar your's ? Or did ya HiJack it from the web ?

Hell, I have seen Guys on this site useing other peoples Hot Rods as there avitar so it makes them look like a REAL Car Guy.

Its just a pic & if its not some scammer .. Who Cares ?

Some people will Whine over Anything !

 

Toothless Waffle House waitresses are hot.

 

Yeah!

Like my avitar..and im not really a "Car Guy"..I just play one on here

 

at lunch im going to knuckle bust a crack whore in the tooth

 

.....sweet.

 

LOLOL...... You know what i mean

 

Yep. Sad and true.

 

Yes I do..I was just playing along...like the good boy that i am

isnt doing that a sincere form of flattery?

I would be proud to have one of my cars on some publication..even if i didnt get anything for it..why does it always have to be about money?
