Since these pictures don't belongs to me, I'll have to talk with the owner.
I know that you use to advertise your sources and this will help a lot.
Thats fully understandable, - but I hope it can be sorted out.
Sharing sources on internet has become difficult in the french Matra communauty.
The reason is simple : abuse;
This is a genuine issue, - however with the speed of new media being distributed on the Internet, people relaly should look other places than simple photos.
One day, I had to realized that somebody registered nearly the same url and used 90 % of pictures and texts coming from my web site. Even some private pictures displaying my house in the background.
what a sad guy. He obviously has no life.
but the key must still be to be ahead of the copiers, - I do get slightly annoyed when I discover sites using not just my pictures, but also a number of the drawings I have made up using long evenings, - but hey!, my main focus is to spread the word about Matra - and if people are interested enough to copy the whole thing without asking, then thats actually "sort of" ok. It won't give then a billion hits on their banner-ads anyway
He angrily refused it with the "excuse" that he had copied and published the pictures 2 years before.
Now thats really bad, as you have genuine reasons for having the picture taken down.
Shame on him.
But of course you know all this
yeah, it has been going on for years, - and I have tried to keep credits where credits are due, - but even I have pictures of dodgey origin. Most of my original stuff has been removed and replaced over the years though, - but I really feel strongly about putting credits/sources on pictuires, so we enthusiasts can learn where to go for more.
Entente Cordiale! :-)
