UNACCREDITTED USE/COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OF PHOTOS ON FACEBOOK
April 08, 2012
I was contacted this morning about a shot of mine being used as an avatar no less by this FACEBOOK ACCOUNT...
http://www.facebook.com/AmazingW0rld
I suggest others check out this account for your own work, and put in your comments. I am not at all savvy about facebook and not active there, so not sure how to handle this further on FB... but will take some time this week to do this.
Any tips on how I might contact FB ADMIN will be welcome.
Otherwise, I would also encourage each of you to take our copyright on your artwork and photography. It is simple and free right here, and takes about two seconds.. MY FREE COPYRIGHT: http://myfreecopyright.com/
Thank-you!

Thanks for the info and copyright link. That's really awful!

well...ironically he/she has offered to now post links to my gallery website etc...feels strange when a minute ago he/she was accepting accolades using my standing lion shot as his/her avatar... should i say "thank-you"...?
Posted by rodeorose on April 10, 2012
I had some great help from here Fred... and he/she took the shot down now..but you know, it still happened. Copyright is very straightforward, and you can register work, or even just mark it copyrighted. See this clip for useful advice on the issue and others... http://youtu.be/pEZff-ObSLk

Thank you Ramón. I've deleted it and removed it from my album as well. If you see any other photos from her, please just let me know and I will remove them. Or if she wants me to promote her website/page, just let me know and I will do it.
Regards,

I have been hard pressed for time over Easter, and know you have been busy too....So that means extra hun :)
Posted by ramonfernandez on April 09, 2012
Twas nothing my dear, glad I could help. Still not sure why this person never responded to yours or Liannes or Alli's postings. Oh well, problems solved.

Hey Ramon I did get a response from him of his story that he would be traveling and not able to post much in the next two weeks. He commented to me as he did to you and shared basically the same info. And another place I commented to him and he made the same sort of post to me. More involved got the message to him, but...your comments to him might have been a little more weighter given we had a man in the house!
Posted by ramonfernandez on April 09, 2012
Hahaha, Alli I was never sure if it was a man or a woman. Alls well that ends well. :)

Update::::Amazing World
Hello Ramón. I have absolutely no problem in removing the photos. Please just let me know which of them and I will remove them. Sorry for my late reply, but I am travelling and don't have always access to a laptop (cf the first post on my page). I apologize if it caused problems to Rose. Photos that I am sharing comes from website such as Reddit, wallpaper websites, twistedsifter and so on.
Regards,

Hey there, I havent had time to look through all your photos but that is the only one of hers I am aware of. Thanks for taking care of that and I will pass the word along to her when I see the pic changed, along with your comment above so she can see if others are using them.
I appreciate this very much. Safe Travels.
Ramon

You are using photos copyrighted to other individuals. This is illegal. Your profile pic of the standing lion was taken by a friend of mine in Australia.

A Allison Ashton le gusta esto.
Ramón Fernández She has asked that you remove it. I will report this site as well.

Amazing World Absolutely no problem. Please just let me know which photos you want me to remove and I will do it. I've never claimed them as mine. Just sharing them (as it is written on the description of my page). So please just let me know, and I will remove them.

Posted by rodeorose on April 09, 2012
Thanks Alli- appreciated.
Posted by lianne on April 08, 2012
Registered my own protest on your behalf too Rosie - and Ramon, that's good information to have.
Posted by lianne on April 08, 2012
By the way Rosie - the FB page owner says the following: About
Sometimes I tend to forget how beautiful our World is...
Description
"I am speaking of the life of a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children; who has undertaken to cherish it and do it no damage, not because he is duty-bound, but because he loves the world and loves his children." - Wendell Berry
PS: All these photos are not mine. I just love them and share them on my page. If you are the author of some of them and want me to remove them, please just let me know.
Posted by ramonfernandez on April 08, 2012
Lianne perhaps you can pass Rosie the link for the copyright reporting to save time. I would but mine is in Spanish. Even though she says they are not hers, I dont think she should use one for her avatar at the very least. Also there is the option of sending a private message, that would arrive in her associated email. Think I will go do that right now. hehehehe
Posted by rodeorose on April 09, 2012
Thanks so much to you both!

This is what I get after clicking the intellectual property question. I didn't see one for email unless its under the message option itself. But this is FB's contact page info about this page>> https://www.facebook.com/legal/copyright.php?object_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FAmazingW0rld
Posted by rodeorose on April 09, 2012
Hullo my friend, I know you too have had your hands full with all sorts of stuff this weekend, so your help is something I cherish very much ...I have a personal motto... that "time is the only true currency..."... but I must adapt that to include friends..xxxxxxxx
Posted by lianne on April 09, 2012
My pleasure my dear friend - it looks as if it will work out but I'm taking your advice to heart myself.
Posted by ramonfernandez on April 08, 2012
Rosie, below the large pic of the mountains to the right there is a box that says message and to the right an arrow down, click that and a drop down will open, then there is an option to report. Click that and at the bottom of the window that opens there is a clickable link for anyone who has intellectual rights and there you will find the FB instructions.

Thanks Ramon- I will have to get to it later- hope your Easter wads fun xxx
