I don't think you're wrong in how you feel. Considering you don't mind others using your pics, it's not too much for them to follow your rules for use.
Well if I snag anything from you, I PROMISE to credit you!!!! And if there is something out there that's yours and I don't know it (because there is much floating around with no owner) just let me know and I will make sure credit goes to you! :)))))
I think it's pretty shitty that, not only did she (or he) take your name off your own pictures, but she put HER (or his) name on it. That's pretty dick. Say something, but - in all honesty - I don't know that she (or he) is going to do anything :-\ Not to seem negative or asshole-ish, but if the person didn't even ask if it'd be okay to use and basically just took your name off your own pics, then I question whether or not they'd care to give you credit or recognition.
Yeah, that's what pisses me off the most. They took my name off and put their name on it. That's called stealing and it's not cool lol. Heads are gonna roll. I know saying something isn't going to do much, I just what them to know that I know, and that I'll be watching lol.
We have had NO END of trouble at dailymisha with people stealing our pics and then reposting them directly to tumblr and fanpop. We spend AGES finding good shots and we ALWAYS credit, and it's just so bloody infuriating to see people posting over our beautiful shots with their ugly watermarks and taking credit for our work. We almost shut down over it at one point.
And then we realized we don't do all that for the thieves, we do it for the people who enjoy it and DO say thanks, and as a service to a fandom that gives us back a lot in return. That kind of made it better.
It sucks though, I hope you send them a message and tell them what a douche they are. You paid good money to be at that con and then took the time to take the pics and post them up- the LEAST they can do is credit that.
I totally agree. For a second I entertained the idea of not posting pics from the next con I go to, but I'd rather people enjoy them instead of having a few assholes ruin it.
I probably will send them a message (if I can figure out how the fuck Tumblr works.) But it will be nicely worded :)
I'm sorry someone did that to you. I totally sympathize - I saw Jared at NY Comic Con when he was promoting F13 and posted the pics I took in my LJ. I asked people to credit me. Then some months later I found someone using my own personal Jared pic (he'd posed for me during the autograph session) as their user pic on Facebook! And yet another person was using it on one of those other sites - Bebo, I think. Luckily the pic had my watermark thingie on it, but still, if people are going to use my pics I'd appreciate them letting me know and crediting me.
It's totally up to you but I would say something to them. People shouldn't be allowed to get away with things like this.
OMG are you kidding? I think that it's totally crossing a line using someone's personal pic for things, especially without permission. I know that if my photo ops end up anywhere, I will be raising holy hell lol. Sadly I think I might have to put watermarks on the actual actors next time. I was trying to avoid that, but it might have to be done.
And that's totally it, too. They probably thought I'd never know hahaha suckers. I have feelers out there (not really, but that'd be sweet.)
