stealing to order
Login
if anyone's thinking of branching out into this field can I offer the advice to make sure your order was correct :lol:
Snow Forecast stole one of my photographs some time back and I see they're still at it. Instead of helping themselves to photographs on my blog they're raiding other places on the internet...

oops .... wrong Schwarzsee idiots :roll:
Flickr has a mailing facility to enable you to contact the owner of the image and ask their permission before you use it.
No, if you post a photo on flickr and the copyright is still yours, anything else would be unreasonable, if you post a holiday snap and the Sun newspaper use it as part of their campaign against "booze binge Britain" you'd be pretty p*ssed off, at the least you'd want paying and you might find your image somewhere you really don't want it to be. That's not to say that's exactly how some photo sites do work, on those you post your photo and sign away reuse rights for ever.
In this case I know they didn't ask the owner of the Schwarzsee image because the owner would probably have pointed out there's many places called Schwarzsee and their photo' was of the one near Zermatt while the forecast webpage is the Schwarzsee in Senseland, Fribourg.
They lifted photo's off my blog of another local ski station which I noticed and complained about, they gave me some flannel about it being a great photo' and representative of the area as though it was a compliment.

Not sure where your pictures were lifted from ISE. However, I am quite wary of using any of the "free" picture storage facilities because of concerns about the re-use of pictures. As far as I can see, their typical terms and conditions can give them full copyright on your pictures :evil: . Probably irrelevant for most snaps but very relevant if you are uploading very good, high quality pictures such as some of the beautiful pictures Ise regularly posted here.
I copied the relevant condition from Flickr and I think this is pretty standard material. If I understand it correctly, they can do whatever they want with photos posted onto the site which are available to all viewers and you can do nothing about it and are entitled to nothing :evil: . I imagine they would not bother including such a provision unless they envisaged availing of the facility from time to time to make some money.

Wanderer I remember ise telling me about the snow-forecast.com incident. Ise has his own website where he posts his photos, which are watermarked. The link is at the bottom of all his posts on here.
