Jill Morgan Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I love the "unknown origin" with the Alamy stamp all over the images as well they had to go there to get them. It's a blog, and Alamy won't chase them, so you'd have to do it yourself. JIll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickfly Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Supported by advertising... I'd be chasing them for infringement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanGibson Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Bloody cheek, indeed. Having had a look around the site, Marcos Peterson (the author) appears to have acquired images from all over the place. I'm not sure what his connection to the site is, but there is an awful lot of acquired images there. Some from magazines, other from merchants of one description or another. Hopefully, they will soon have a rude awakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCat Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 If you click "source" you go to the Alamy page. Alamy does supply a way for images to be shown in places like Facebook and I wonder if this person is using that method. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 As a lot of images on that site have been ripped off Alamy direct,witness Alamy watermark, they should be notified and it is their responsibility to chase the site owner and have the images taken down. Allan UNLESS it is another of Alamy's partners. ITMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoDogue Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I've had some success by complaining to Wordpress when their bloggers lifted some of my images I didn't manage to collect anything but the images were removed in a day or so. https://en.support.wordpress.com/copyright-infringement-what-to-do/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoDogue Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 If you click "source" you go to the Alamy page. Alamy does supply a way for images to be shown in places like Facebook and I wonder if this person is using that method. Paulette Yes, they're hotlinked from Alamy. Alamy does have a share button but it doesn't include personal blogs on Wordpress and clicking on the image doesn't bring you to the licensing page. I doubt this is what Alamy had in mind. EDIT: Some link back to Alamy. The first one doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 When the image is watermarked and links back to Alamy, could it be regarded as free advertising which could lead to a sale from elsewhere? I've found one or two linked and watermarked Alamy images of mine on similar sites where there was no prospect of getting damages, so I decided to leave them unchallenged for that reason. <FX: Runs for cover!!> Am I being unwise??

TeeCee Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I have the same issue with one here on blogger... There's a pic of mine on here (scroll down for nit picking monkeys...), but lord knows how long and how much effort it'll take to get it removed, Bah! Double bah!!
