shawn Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 so i'm on ebay, looking for some stuff about that one particular cut'n'weld project (the red one), and i see my truck in an ad for stripe - decal kit. i'm sure this happens all the timeand they must have gotten the pic from flickr (or here). still made me laugh though, i took that pic the day i got that old truck that i paid $3oo. running and just wailed up into the bush , snapped a pic or two and now here it is in an ad . haha. http://cgi.ebay.ca/MJ-JEEP-PICK-UP-COMA ... 1|294%3A50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallon2064 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 :dunno: Maybe you should find out where they got it and claim part of the money they making off of your truck and photo. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 That's a tad illegal. They need to ask your permission to use your photo like that. I think Wade(89eliminator) went through something like that. It's definitely a sue-able situation if they don't immediately remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 You could always look at it this way shawn. The guy liked your truck and used it. Afterall, Plagiarism is Best form of flattery. :D Yeah, I'd email the guy and tell him he owes you two sets of stripes for using your pic to help sell his product. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula69 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 hmm. I'd make them give you a set of stripes, and then sell them on eBay. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 i would'nt be too unhappy with a set of stripes, and maybe one for the eliminator too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemsee Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 If they just found the pic on the internet, I believe it is fair game with no expectation of exclusive rights for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Yea, I seen that picture the other day...........Had no Idea it was your MJ. The way I see it...........contact the guy, your owed some type of "royalties" on this, and if the seller don't answer you in the way you feel fit, Flag his add to e-bay and I'm sure you'll get some results from the seller :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
