Thanks for the feedback Graham. I agree with your comments about the deal site.

I’d really like to hear if anyone has been through the same kind of thing before, and what their experience was like.

Well, the deal site has taken down the image (and replaced it with one from another company in the US, for which I am extremely doubtful that they got permission for either). Do I have a case, is it worth my while? I just think that for a large corporation, as they are, to be engaged in such practices is wholly unethical. I guess their defense would be that they just took it from the website of the company who are offering the deal, without knowledge that they too were using it without permission. With the company, it is not just about the image. They are a competitor and have been using an image of our facility, passing it off as their own. The one that ran on the deal site today has been a bit butchered in PS, but is clearly the same image. They have the actual image, unchanged, running on their own website.

Any advice? The competitor company is very small, but the deal site is a large corporation. I have no experience in these things, and don’t know if it is even worth the legal costs to pursue.

Thanks
Scott

Hi Graham

Thanks for the reply. I’ve already taken screen grabs of all the relevant pages. I’ll have a look now to see if there are any hit counters on the pages

Thanks
Scott

€300 seems a bit low. The lens is mint and is going for about €550 new.

I’d split the difference with you at €340. Let me know, thanks.

I forgot to mention that it comes with original case and lens hood, and for another €15, I’ll throw in a Polarizer, so €400 for the lot.
