So you hate it when people use pictures without your permission....

[Illusionsir]

a friend of mine left me a message on MSN with a link asking me if i gave permission for this site to use a pic of my engine bay...

i just want to know if anyone has ever heard of FULBLOWN motorsports and has any idea how i can get ahold of them to talk to them about it? strange thing about it is this picture was taken at VUB... they didnt take long to post it...

That's why you always watermark pics you own and posted on the web.

To bad he's not stealing your bandwidth by linking. If he did, you can own him by changing the pic to p0rn.

Yep, people steal everything they can, trust me. I watermark and make all my photos I post online really poor quality.

Contact them and demand the removal of your photo, or ask for a purchase of the rights of the photo...50-100 bucks is par.

Hey yeah I had to sue or at least serve them with papers of copy right. I also had to prove it was my car in the photo.

Just call them and ask whos car is in the photo and if they had permission to use the pic.
Them tell them they may purchase the right to use the photo. If you have a laywer on retainer it would be good cause they could make the call for you.

Just ask them either to take it down or pay for it. I got $250.00 USD for my pic.

Well with a car show, when you have a car in for public viewing, there is not a whole lot you can do in regards to how people use the pictures they take of your car. I was under the assumption you or a friend took the pic.

Generally if they are using it as advertising, they should be contacting you, as you did not give them permission to be associated with you. Personal use on the other hand, you cant do anything about.

[BigMass]

Those guys are %115 HOMOS. What they are doing is not only making money on your picture, what's worse is that they are using YOUR WORK to represent their work. I would never give these clowns business. People that surf their website will think that your engine bay is credit to their work, which it isn't.

I would call them and basically ask them "What the fuck is my car doing on your website?" If they dont like it server the fuckers with court papers. I wouldnt take money from these guys for my picture either because they're a bunch of bastards that are going to use your picture to lie to customers about their crappy work and business.

This isn’t the same as people taking pics of rice and posting them on this site to make fun of. This is stealing.

[MrHeavyFoot]

Like Ben said, if they took the picture, it doesn't give you as much to complain about. I didn't take a long look around their site, but it looks to me like they are using the picture to illustrate what the hoses look like as opposed to claiming they did the install and everything lse.

Anyway, they have a forum on 780tuners.com (if you're in the mood for a public pissing match):

IllusionSIR....if that was your pic....which it could have been....
'cause

Every tuner knows his ride down to the last detail!!!

The picture was taken down promptly as soon as you left a POST on 780tuners. I apologize for the use of the car on the site and site administrator has been contacted. The picture was one of many taken in Calgary over the weekend and the administrator that updated the site mistakenly used your engine pic instead of another that Fulblown was 'authorized' to use. Again Sorry about the confusion.

Wrong pics.... I took 3 pictures at the show and 2 of Adam's car!

So who ever was taking pics wasn't matching cars with bays!

Looking at the picture (out of thumb-view)...it is a SiR!!

The pic was in order with a blue RSX but there were no SiR pics!

Weird!?

Again...sorry about the confusion.

Joshua

Hope the guy with the Blue RSX did well though too!
