Using Arbtalk images on Facebook

[Steve Bullman]

Its been brought to my attention that an arbtalk member has been using images from arbtalk and passing them off as his own work on facebook.

 

Whilst this is a breach of arbtalk copywright i dont personally have the time or inclination to worry about it....

 

however...posting someone elses pictures and palming them off as your own work is very poor form and totally unacceptable....added to that, the internet is a small world...to think that you can get away with this is a little bit on the ignorant side.

 

Although im not publishing who the member is....YOU know....and id advise removing all said pictures to save your own embarrassement when your facebook page is inevitably brought to light on the forum at some point

 

thanks

What is a face book?

Can I just use images from google and pass them off as my own instead?

[Steve Bullman]

and just to clarify....i have no issues with people using arbtalk images as a rule

[Frank]

6 people I know on facebook just deleted all their pictures. Haha

[Steve Bullman]

wow your entire friends list then!

[Frank]

Well yeah. How many have you got?

I suppose we all put pics up on here of allsorts and never really know if they might get copied and used elsewhere, but its a bit much if folk are using work pics to make out they are something they arent.

 

Just curious but was the offender using the copied stuff as part of promoting work Steve, or do you think it was just to look good to mates etc?

 

Doubt there will be much of mine worth copying though anyhow:001_rolleyes:

The pics i put up on here are genuine and i use them in my line for work and i put them up on my facebook page. It sounds a bit dodgy but if ya want my facebook link feel free to ask.

its a facebook business page rather than a personal page
