04/11/2007: "Stolen Images (Not Mine)"


I've got to share this with you, it's classic. On one of the forums I belong to a member was having his images hotlinked from his web site. That means that someone was linking to his images and putting them on their site without his permission. In this case the thief had put the images in a Flash slide show and was acting as if they had shot them.
What did the photographer do about this?
He changed all of the images but left the file names the same. In effect giving the thief a new slide show.
Here is the link to the new slide show.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes the thief to realized that his pirated slide show has been pirated.
