spacecadet Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Any experience of unlicensed uses on the .co.uk site? I'm checking with MS but I suspect infringement as it can't have been found by searching on the name they've used as a caption because that word wasn't in my search terms until today! They have a UK office so I may have a go. it's on dozens of the national sites though, not much hope there, and no email address for takedowns.

clupica Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I saw several of my images used in a video on tripadvisor and contacted them. I never heard from them but the video disappeared. Try sending them a form. Go to http://www.tripadvisor.com/help/contactus then select "general help" from the little menu on the left. I don'tr remember if that's how I got a hold of them, but see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'll see about that but they're already up. I'll be going after the UK company straight away. Will Imagerights take on a single case as it's also on the .com site- a small image but they do assert ownership of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidC Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 It's always worth sending them an e-mail with the URLs and screengrabs and ask them if it is viable - they have associates in most European countries, Canada, Australia and of course USA - rather than upset anybody by pasting their basic info and getting into the commercial use of the Forum saga I have sent it to you in a PM. Lots of these infringements are just not financially viable to follow up - I've just had to abandon a claim against the Washington Sheriff's department because the costs were higher than the claim and no law firm seemed to want to take the case on !!!

spacecadet Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 David, I'm grateful. I can find a dotcountry URL for most of those so time to cry havoc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidC Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Regarding the info which I sent to Mark - if anyone else wants it 'message' me and I'll paste it on to you........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
