Default How to stop Callum's fb rip offs

Hi all.

Don't know if this is the right place for this but here goes.

I've just had a quick look a Callum's fb page (I do that some times) and what do I see staring back at me but a picture my XR8 that I had previously posted here on the forums.

He did not ask if he could use it, he hasn't acknowledged my ownership or said thanks, nothing.

What can I do to stop this bloke doing this?

Mods please move this post if it's in the wrong place.

Cheers,
Garry.

Callum is the bloke who runs the "support the 2014 Falcon" face book page.

Many on this forum have some serious, and sound, dislike for this bloke.

I've sent him a message and asked that he remove the pic.

And to actually ask permission next time.

Looks like he's had to have a few days off school as he's in Hospital with a rare condition.

I managed to point out the error of his choice of pics though.........Had to use a different name this time, my other one is banned from commenting on both of his sites

You could complain to F.B. support, mind you once you post up a photo on the internet regardless where or how you are open to this sort of behaviour & there is no way of stopping it.

That's copyright infringement, plain and simple. If it were me I wouldn't bother with the pleasantries, I'd send him a sternly worded cease and desist letter and report the page to FB.

Just had a browse of the page, ironically he's jumped on some other bloke for posting an FGX photo that wasn't his. But of course he's happy to log on here and steal all of our photos- something he's been repeatedly asked to stop doing, yet clearly still does.

I don't see the issue of having a picture of your car on the Internet. Is there something in it that identifies you, and you are worried that somebody will look for the owner of the vehicle, stalk you, and kill you? Or are you a professional photographer and somebody is stealing your work (a photograph that you took) for their personal gain? I would understand if it is the latter, but seriously, I couldn't care less if someone posted a pic of my vehicles somewhere. As long as the camera isn't a speed camera, what is the worry?

What is with dudes getting ****ed about someone posting a picture of their car? And what 's the problem with the number plates showing?

Seriously, WTF?

When I started reading I thought the guy stole the OPs car...but then realised it he simply posted a picture of it.

Seriously get over it, if this is the biggest problem you have...lucky you.

Do you blokes drive around with your number plates covered?

Then dudes suggesting to send a cease and desist letter

May be sue him for hurting your feelings? Maybe get your mum and dad to talk to his mum and dad.

Another solution is stop looking at facebook.

I must be missing something because I just don't "get" facebook.
It must be an extroverted thing, just about everyone I know has facebook dramas on a regular basis!
Kill facebook!

No problem with the pic being there, if he had done the right thing and asked.
The issue is the lack of manners and actually asking for permission to use my photos.

If you can't see the problem then i feel sorry for you.
It doesn't take a lot of effort to show some respect and ask permission to use someone's photo.

I think that once you post an image online, you should expect that it will appear elsewhere. Don't want your photos used online, then don't post them. Its simple really.

LOL OK

Judging by your SIG you don't own an xb coupe track car, did you get permission to use that coupe as your avatar.

Your signature should have details about the picture

Hes a flog!!

The best ones is when he goes around saying hes got a FGII, when thats actually his daddy's company car.

Im still waiting for him to buy his own FGX and update that EBII/ED clone hes got.

In his defence atleast hes done some marketing for the FGX.

I used to post all my travel pics on a blog when I first started out. One day, I stumbled across some slide shows of several different cities and realised that the pictures were mostly all mine.

Didn't think much of it to be honest. If I'm posting a pic online then I really have no control of it. I guess the person could have added the name of my blog somewhere in the corner but I wasn't fussed.

Having said that, perhaps having a bit of tact when posting someones pride N joy wouldn't have gone astray.
