Incredible! Someone on Ebay is using my pic

The person who took the picture and/or the person who owns the livestock pictured. How is that not obvious?

Wow, after having read all 13 pages of this I'm amazed!
On many levels really, but first and foremost, I'm amazed someone with association on BYC would use someone else's photo--without permission--when they could have asked--and likely would have gotten --permission.
I know we are all human, we all make mistakes, but I would never represent something I was selling with an image that was anything other than my own.
My husband is an artist and tattooer, so this is a subject near and dear to my heart (and pocketbook). Whatever he draws, tattoos or paints is his intellectual property, and if he photographs it, that image is his too. He makes his living by using photos of his work--people want to see his portfolio--not someone else's. Or worse, you sit down to get tattooed and find the guy who will permanently mark you has used someone else's work to entice you. You'd be pretty upset huh?
I think this is exactly the same sort of thing!
And she (Jody) has the right to ask the offender to remove the image, period

Sigh. Its only polite to ask and then to put "courtesy of".

I agree it's wrong, as an artist I would be upset if someone used a pic of one of my paintings without permission.
I am so sad that it was someone from our forum.

This is why I don't trust products on Ebay.

I think it all goes back to that this person is using pics that are not their making people think that is the parent stock of the eggs they are receiving and that is the deceiving part.

I had a person on BYC before take my avatar and use it as their own even after my photobucket account was set to private. Some people just dont know when to use their own birds.

There was someone in Texas that tried to sell my rooster a while back. Thanks to members here that saw it and notified me I flagged the post and emailed craigslist. The add was removed.

They don't have to go into your account to get the pic. If you post it on the web and it's not copy righted then they can save it to their computer.

Some people are just plain rotten!
