I don't like our bikes used without permission

I don't like my bike used without my permission. I guess it is inevitable that our hard work and ideas for our bikes will be used without permission. They have links to this forum but not to the owners. I asked him to remove my bike. What should be done? Have fun, Dave

I don't know why people "borrow" without permission....I guess take it as a compliment that this is the second time your bike has ended up in an unauthorized place.

That does suck Egor. I dug around a bit and found this. Fascinating read and worth the time. 7 Deadly Myths of Internet Copyright

.gov site to register photos $35 but allows one to sue and include legal fees, U.S. Copyright Office - Registration of Photographs

true, they should have asked, or at least given props to the site/owner of bike pix were taken from.

found this. Would at least deny others from taking credit for your work. It is an artical about adding text to pics with MS Paint. Picasa Fun: Adding Text To Your Photos
Not sure why I got so into this other then I am out of parts.

I ran a photo business for years and the truth is you dont have to copyright a photo it is automatically copyrighted when you shoot it. All you have to do is prove ownership. The downside is it would cost you more to sue than you would ever get for the damages I expect.

I have had brides take the photos to the copy shop to have them copied. That took money out of my pocket but I could only sue the bride since the copy shop always swore the customer told them uncle harry made the image.

Hey! they are using my video.....I've known about that site for a long time now. Thats why I left a comment and a link to the forum. I do not know who it is but it is someone who visits this forum.

Pic # 1...You see how SpookyTooth added "spookyTooth.com" to thier pic? Anybody know how to do that?

Pic# 2 You could add your own text in photo shop to your pics.

Something like " No use without permission" or something like that? Just a thought.
