Default Flickr Piracy
I found this on another site thought i would share this info. For those of you who may not already know that have Flickr account. You may have photos pirated off Flickr and posted on another spanish web site to be used for wallpaper free in Hi5, Myspace & Facebook etc. To check to see if your photos are there go to:
http:// www. fotosimagen.com/imagen.php?imagen=Reg, highlite out the REG and put your Flickr screen name in and it will show all of your photos they have and maybe some that are not yours.

When I put mine it it seems to act just like a search engine for Flickr and opens the image in Flickr not like the original that opens in a new screen.

I have my photos set to Copyright, All Rights Reserved so maybe that has something to do with it.

I've been able to find images from my website, though it seems to archive both photos and background (layout) images. I prefer TinEye

The rotten dirty mongrels,

They have many of my photos. Any solutions, any redress?

Flickr is getting the flick

In regard to the post below, if you go into the Spanish site, it tries to load a worm or trojan horse that appears to scan you computer looking for more of your photos to steal.

Flickr Piracy

Just be careful. This site is a disgrace. Does anyone have an answer?

Cheers,

Alot of my photos have been pirated from flickr. I am kind of used to it by now. The photos I do care about being pirated, I keep them "private" so they arent pirated. But the ones that are "public" usually get pirated. I gave up trying to go after the sites, no lawyers want to go after them, without loads of cash up front!

So, my point is - If you don't want your photos pirated, make them "private" otherwise they are going to be pirated! This has happened too many times with me.
