Stealing My Peafowl Pictures From Here Is WRONG!

[NYREDS]

well, what about the harm to HIS buyers....the ones who respond to his craigslist ads. They thing the photos are the parents of the birds he is selling, when actually they are not. That is about as dishonest as it gets.

And actually, the law states if you do not have specific permission (preferably written!) from the owner of a photo, you cannot legally display it on a website, post it to the Usenet, copy it, send it around by Email or other means, make photos derived from it, sell it, or otherwise exploit it. It's nearly impossible to actually sue someone though, unless you can prove damage. It's still illegal though. It does not become public property just because you posted it on the web.

Under provisions of the Berne Convention you may be right but in this instance it would be difficult for thr owner of the image to show they had experienced any loss as a result of the unauthorized use.

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that you can't get on those Craigslist ads to removed them?

If this is the case, you had to have registered with each Craiglist city in which you placed those ads. The links above that were kindly supplied to you need to be contacted individually. With each one, you must be able to input the username & password with which you created your account.

From there all you need to do is sign onto you account, for each one. There will be listing of everything you've posted. Simply delete them.

If you'd like to repost WITHOUT the pics, you can do that. But you MUST DELETE the ads you've created.

If you're sincerely remorseful, this is what you should do.

How about you go back and edit your post where you list their phone number and invite people to harass them?

You are breaking forum rules.

An apology has been made and I feel is sincere. You can't prove any different, so let's put it aside and welcome a new member. We all make mistakes. (I'm sure I've made more than my fair share.) Let's follow deerman's example and say welcome. Time for a fresh start.

Everyones got opinions. So heres mine. First To the OP .If something bothers you that dang bad you need to talk to that person FIRST.Then see what can be done if that dont work.And here if just three people flag it on craigslist its gone anyway. Next I know darn well Im gonna ask questions all about the birds. Because if you dont then youre stupid. Why? One main resaon is THIS IS THE INTERNET!!!! NEVER EVER forget this!!!! It just about all public domain. I personally dont care if people use my photos. If any of you that feel like the OP does about photos then you had better copyright AND watermark them. I see it as that simple. Also the person apoligized AND gave the reason of his thinking as well.This is a great informitive post at the very least. Even if I dont agree with alot of what people posted. Also some people dont read all these posts so good because there was never ill intent by the pic poster.So if that isnt good enough for you at this point To me you are just pretty hateful.Because If a sincere apology dont work. I know I personally want nothing to do with you. We all make mistakes, myself included.

I totally agree with you- didn't even read all the thread- just the first message.

Yeah don't worry I messed up one time on another forum. I made a local breeder mad and I didn't mean to. It made me feel really bad and I still feel bad just thinking about it. I still hope they don't hate me because since then I have sometimes e-mailed them just to ask a question and be friendly to show that I am not mean or don't care. We all mess up because we are human and it helps us learn. My Marine Biology teacher was telling us just today that no matter what even our textbook is wrong sometimes because people write it and people make mistakes sometimes.

Any time you post a special photo, run a banner across it with your name or farm name. They can't remove that. Copyrighted photos use that tactic all the time. It works.
