    << <i> So what's the big deal about someone using an image of a Sacagawea. Maybe the guy just needs a break today. >>



    He not only used my images, he used my text too. I run into this all of the time. I once even saw my stuff used on a web site with a paragraph stating that everything on that page was "original text" of the person that owned the site. I have put many years into my research and countless hours putting it on a website. My only desire is to share it with other collectors. I have NEVER refused anyone permission to use anything on my site. I don't even mind if it's used without permission as long as credit is given. I don't think that's too much to ask.

    Further more, the photos he used are not a run-of-the-mill Sac$. They are of the Experimental Rinse Sac, so in my opinion he's misrepresenting what he's actually selling.

    So where is the link on ebay so I can report this auction with the objectionable photograph? I am offended! I expect a NARU!

    Rock on man!
    That is one of the classics!!!!

    If someone isn't smart enough to take an image and put it where someone can't touch it, then they deserve it image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Cool. It's just not right to use others work without asking.
    This seller has 400+ items running on Ebay.
    He must not have time to take his own images.
    I would bet many of his pics are taken from others.

    That is really funny.

    So was that one where the image owner put up porn for the coin pictures.

    I want someone to steal one of my images now... image

    Well done! People don't think of this as theft, which of course it is... At least if somebody is going to steal an image they should have the "class" to use their own bandwidth...

    << <i>Excellent. And I don't think you were mean at all. I mean, you could've used the goatse guy or tubgirl -- *that'd* be mean. >>




    I'm ashamed of you for suggesting those. I'm also ashamed of myself for knowing both references. imageimage
