Easy stealing during DIGITAL ERA
During the film era, there was not that many cases about stealing images compare to our new era of digital photography.
These days the crooked people under the good name of Pro-Photographer could steal any images thru internet very easily. Then they could change them little bit and present them as their own hard work to few fools.
I DO have a proof.
I managed to caught a thief during my daily critic/comment writing among images. [(K=37501) on 3/3/2006]
Then I managed the spot this.

Now examine those images for yourself and judge if I am right in my reason.
Good luck.
I have to admit it but I really like what the guy has done with the fake photo in your link. I suppose the only way of protecting yourself from this type of thing is either not to upload any images or perhaps watermark them. Another option would be to use someone like iStockphoto and link to that image in your forum posts. That way is someone wants the image thay pay for it and it’s theirs to do what they like. Perhaps this guy bought the image?
well, stealing is very true and unfortune thing nowdays.
I do have a proof also.
My friend found pic that SHE have taken in a porn site, some years a go, even her “sign” was still on those pics. The photographer that had those pics unher HIS name was totally different person than my frind.
So she made some moves, and they shutted down that site, but never found out who was the one that stole her pics.badbadbad.
Poor show! Fact of life, unfortunately – only way to stop it is to not put your images on the net….
I only ever upload up to a max of 1000px wide for this reason – normally more like 800 or 600.

Oh noes?
It’s an absolute fact of life that if you put up a photo, people will see it, love it and probably take it to use. I’ve sidestepped worries over this to a point by releasing my photos under the Creative Commons – I only hold back those photos of my family and I. I figure trying to hold back the unwashed masses from using my photos is a futile gesture, so I may as well embrace it and work with them.
