Unauthorized use of pictures
Permalink  
 

I have been getting emails all day that i had sold my car and the new owner has got it up 4 sale already and advertising a car show in June on Kijiji with it

I am flattered they like the picture of my 50 Meteor, but its the point that they used it without my permission and the fact, it is still 4sale by me and not the person that posted it 200 miles away and its a picture i took and have an album full to prove it, they have it posted as a 50 Ford with 10000 miles then advertizes a car show, it might be a different circumstance if they had taken the picture themselves at a local event but thats not the case

All my vehicles have been well photographed and have appeared in several magazines / articles and web sites for the past 20 years, currently my Anglia was in the latest issue of Performance in Motion put out by Performance Improvements and i'm always very honoured  that others enjoy my unique rides

Images of my 52 GMC 4x4 were used years ago to adveritize a U S Government Auction "buy this vehicle now and others just like it for $800.00" boy was i pissed

I will call the person on kijiji who posted my Meteor Monday and politley, take a chunk out of his hide..........

Pretty clear cut case of copyright infringement, particularly since it is being used in a commercial endeavour. A quickly delivered cease and desist communication is definitely in order.

It could be that they may be considered "in the public domain" and thus anything goes. Still. it's not cricket IMO but you may be SOL.

I had a similar thing....I collect garden tractors and saw an ad in Kijiji that this guy wanted tractors like the one in the picture...I thought, that looks familiar.....It was a picture of my tractor on my trailer......Not a big deal really, but it bugged me a little.....If some used my picture and said it was their car when it wasn't, I would be super pissed........

Pretty sad when you have to watermark all your pictures! But I guess that is what you need to do. I collect LOTS of car pictures from the net but they are for my own personal use.

http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-classic-cars-Owen-Sound-Wings-and-Wheels-Event-MARK-YOUR-CALENDARS-W0QQAdIdZ355789628 LOOKS more like a ad for a show not a for sale ad unless I missed some thing.

The way I see it is you guys should be flattered at the use of your photos... the picture of the car and the plane may be a let down to spectators who go to the show and no plane or car... That is the problem I see........

I am surprised that Kijiji even lets that ad stay there Kenny...It is for a show, not a classic car for sale...I tried putting an ad for this site in the classic car section and they deleted it on me the next day.....I put one in the community section and they left it alone

 http://owensound.kijiji.ca/c-community-activities-groups-Ontario-Hot-Rodders-W0QQAdIdZ356061329

Hmmmm....Maybe if I "borrowed" a pic of your car and put it in the ad.........lol

i received an email from a show co-ordinator he tells me the Harvard Plane Club passed this pic on to them to use, I guess they didn't realize that the car is for sale, and how to be kijiji savy to get around red tape, i will be nice enough to work with them and help them out.........

My ad for this site is still up in the Ottawa area as I started the ad by saying new free hot rod forum. I guess they like the free part.

I think I would be super stoked to have a pic of my car used to advertise a car show-There are alot of pics taken at car shows/cruises and the internet is a big place-I think it may be hard for them to track you down to ask-depending where they got the pic.

If the car is for sale anyway-could be considered a great form of free advertisement.

I chatted with the gentlemen involved and we resloved any issues, he was sent the picture by a friend and all is good, so with that said, i sent him several pictures of my meteor in front of several different vintage aircraft, Either on the picture or in the ad it will say picture was courtesy of me and The Rotary Club of Owen Sound is hosting it and proceeds of the event go to charity and i Support as much as i can when i can......

I hope he joins Ontario Rodders, i even found out he's a car guy/gearhead, he also has a RV/Boat repair business........
