stealing on flickr continues...

There are few pathetic people who steal pictures from others photostream and put it in their photostream.
My photos have been stolen by one such person! He stole 2 of my photos and posted them in his photostream. I requested him to remove my photos, but that shameless creature still continues to keep it in his stream.

I hate to see my self potraits on this stream. my pics may not be the best but still they are MINE!!
Go and check his photostream maybe you'll find another stolen shot! www.flickr.com/photos/99679264@N00/

Lets make everyone aware of such people, lets block them, let's help knock this crap off!

what..
the..hell. You should also report the photos, as well as him sweetheart.

That is a bit sad. I know that people for sure take others photos and use it for personal use, all the time...but damn..

according to your license you even say it is fine to take your work and copy it and share it...but CREDIT CREDIT CREDIT..

this individual is a fool, and should be aware of crediting someone for their work (be it grand or not - that is subjective).

you can stop this -- by simply going to your preferences and choosing how can download your images --- I don't let ANYONE download my images -- try it! You can screen capture my images -- but just right click on one of my images and see what happens -- you can't do it --- take the time to learn your preferences...

"dulhan_26 is no longer active on Flickr." !

I saw ur photo sometime back. I was about to leave for vacation. So couldn't make a comment. Nice to see that the thief's account is deleted.

I had faced similar issue in orkut. (2 weeks back.) Few guys stole my identity and they were able to fool my friends, parish priest and lot of others. And one of my flickr photo was stolen too. So i know how u feel when u come across such a thing.

check info on my "orkut account cloning": here:

freebird.in/orkut/orkut/phishing.html

flickr photo stealing: flickr.com/photos/freemind/141130043/

anyway its good that the issue is solved. lets keep our eyes open and punish the criminals.

Just clicked on one of the links, and that link says that person no longer has activity on Flickr, but sometimes, even if somebody has had an account terminated doesn't mean he or she will strike again unless the staff told this person he or she isn't eligible for posting to Flickr and signing up for a Yahoo! ID ever again.

The Internet as a whole is nothing but a BIG HUGE encyclopedia. My favorites ones, however, are wikipedia.org and dictionary.com. There are a lot of pictures that can be stolen as well. It is only proper etiquette or netiquette to provide the link back to the photographer like I did below to show where I got the photos from (photos are attached).

en.wikipedia.org/
thesaurus.reference.com/
dictionary.reference.com/

The picture attached is from flickr.com/photos/samiksha/

Here’s the link...

Sorry if it isn't there when you check, I might have to delete it for space (VoiceThread only allows 3 presentations at a time)

Thanks again!

Here is another site who steals photos. I sent a message and asked that my photos be removed. It used to be if you clicked onto any of the three photos you see on the link below ( that are mine that are stolen ).....it would take you right back to my flickr photos in my photostream. NOW it takes you elsewhere.

The site is terrible. Someone is profiting and you can....EDIT....the title of the photo....YOUR OWN PHOTO. It stinks:

nachofoto.com/search?q=lat454205

These three are my photos and two of them are marked as private....I have no idea how these people who stole them got my photo from a story where the photos are marked as private....

Has anyone else had trouble with NACHOFOTO ??

Very Creative. This has just happened to me. A person had posted 4 of my photos on their stream. I was in the process of emailing them when 3 were deleted. One still remains. I then also commented on the photo asking them to remove it. To my disbelief, this person had the nerve to delete my comment, block me from being able to email or comment on anything else & left the photo on their stream. I created a temp flickr account to make 1 last request for them to remove it. People are unbelievable!
