Sick of people stealing my product images

[Mattie]

Yet another email has just gone out informing a Ebay business seller they are using my product images. I'm getting really fed up of people stealing my images to use on their websites, flyers, Ebay stores etc.

I have previously took people to court, and had their hosing companies close their websites down for copyright infringement and will happily do it again if needs be but so far this year a quick email notice normally works if not a solicitors letter does the trick

[Mattie]

this is the email I just got back from the seller

"I guess I will see you in court. "

he clearly doesn't think I will go through with it, well he is in for a shock

@Justin just wondering if i'm allowed to name and shame as the seller has other images on his listings that may belong to someone else on the forum

I would....

[Justin]

I don't see any issues with this, as long as you have proof to back it up (which of course you do) then you're simply stating fact.

thanks Justin just thought I better check first

http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/2015_the_pers ... 7675.l2559 this is the seller using my images and refusing to remove them.

I have contacted Ebay and they are meant to be removing the images and as Ebay said possible lifetime ban, suspension of his account for a period of time.

I have also emailed my solicitor to send a infringement notice and if this doesn't work I will file the court claim

Have to be careful with ebay I noticed a while back that ebay requires you to opt out of your images automatically being added to a catalogue of images for other members to use in their listings... totally rediculous concept

[Mattie]

I'm not selling on ebay. I never have and never will be honest as read a lot of bad things saying its not worth the hassle

[Justin]

How does the seller get away with copyright images from Frozen etc????

looks like fella is selling whatever he can pull off the google search... not a bit of his own personal work. all stolen stuff.
