How annoying is this?
-
Hi,
So I’m not a Pro, just a hobbiest.
Recently Joined FaceBook (swore I never would) to see some images belonging to a friend.
After a couple of days and after gaining a few “friends” on the thing, I started looking through some of my familys profile pictures, and some friends profile pictures, when I start to see some of MY images on their pages.
Nothing special, just some rally pics and some pics from the afters of a wedding that I had on FlickR.
Ok, so I was flattered a bit at first to think that my mates liked my pics enough to put them on their FaceBook Page, and seeing as they were at the event themselves I didnt mind too much.
But when I saw a cousin of mine had some rally pics on his page, when he wasnt even there, and then his missus has some on her page when she wasnt even “his missus” at the time they were taken, that annoyed me.
I’m not going to say anything to them at this stage, but its just very annoying to think that these picture have been on FaceBook much longer than ME. And what else have they coppied?
Rant over……Non-photographers don’t see fault in this – it’s just a picture. I’ve had the same with websites grabbing images. A quick comment on facebook will surely hit those who have taken your images as Facebook is open to the world…word it strongly and they’ll know!!
Or just report the images to Facebook as being your copyright images. Facebook may take 1-2 days, but they will remove them.
