neonneon Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) Hello.I've discovered my Photo being displayed on the Heatsink Bikes website..They have given me no notice or displayed any copyright info...I'm just wondering what everybody thinks about this..If they asked, I wouldn't have a problem... It's just the fact that they used it..I would have been fine if they just offered a small link.. (or maybe a set of pads )http://www.heatsinkbikes.com/?p=ridersThe image is found next to Steve Rogers, They also claim on that page "Copyright 2009 heatsinkbikes.com" although on my flickr I display a similar message for myself.CharlieEDIT: http://www.flickr.com/photos/charliejennin...in/photostream/ forgot to link to the image Edited May 30, 2009 by neonneon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 He could've got sent the picture by Steve with permission to use it, not knowing who took it. Best is to have a word with HeatSink Steve, not us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonneon Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 have you tryed talking to steve about this. He might not relise.trisI think I will have a word, although. It's not that much of an issue.Thinking about it, I reckon Steve-o created his profile and used the image Just a little link would be nice.

Muel Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yeh, you could have just not posted here CJ and got in touch with Steve, that way you wouldn't make yourself look like a pedantic twat.I'm not meaning to be offensive mate but come on, why would you post on a public forum instead of getting in touch with Steve first unless you were trying to make him look bad? Chances are Steve Rogers just had the pic because he's in it and automatically assumed he had copyright seeing as he's in it and sent it to Steve.If you ask me the law is bollocks anyway, if you're in a picture you should have say over what happens to it, regardless of who shot it.

Instead of posting on a public forum, Not like your going to sue him over it. Edited May 30, 2009 by Connor Powell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yeh well unlike you and most others I actually like Charlie, so I wanted to make my point without being too nasty to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Did you take the picture then, because that is some good camera work. If not you have no right of the picture. You can take him to court over copy right but that would be silly IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The laws are: If somebody takes a photograph, they automatically own rights of it, (unless other wise stated) and are able to do what they wish with it. (if it is taken in a public place) Hence all the Paperazzi getting away with murder.Did you take the picture then, because that is some good camera work. If not you have no right of the picture.

Thanks for the comments.I'm not going to take him to court, I would just like a bit of text saying that the image is mine e.t.c.This post is not meant to make Heatsinkbikes, or anybody related to Heatsink bikes look bad, I was merely asking what others thought of the situation.Sorry if this did come across badly. I'm going to email Heatsink when I can Thanks for the advice,Charlie(I like you too muel ) Edited May 30, 2009 by neonneon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 You should have just dropped Steve a quick email really. Chances are he asked Steve-O for a pic or two and was given that, which he used and was/is none the wiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 The laws are: If somebody takes a photograph, they automatically own rights of it, (unless other wise stated) and are able to do what they wish with it. (if it is taken in a public place) Hence all the Paperazzi getting away with murder.That laws also are technically that if you upload that image up anywhere, such as photo bucket, flickr, facebook, they in turn own the rights to distribute the photo. Not like your a pro photographer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 This is the same guy that threatened to sue his mate for having one of his pictures on Facebook we're talking about...Indeed, I got a warning for it and a big long disclaimer from Facebook threatening to close my account if it happened again.They also claim on that page "Copyright 2009 heatsinkbikes.com" although on my flickr I display a similar message for myself.That set of photos were also publically posted on this forum, guess what... they display copyright in their footer too.
