...some random website takes one of your photos for a "Photoshop this picture" thread without permission!
FARK.com: (4899882) Photoshop this dock on the bay

Of course I e-mailed them to remove it, or at least credit me, and heard nothing back...

Just saying...

Though the thread is sort've amusing...

I really don't know what to think! First off... yeah, it sucks that they would do that, and if you ask and they don't take it down... I'd be thinking legal options... if you really want it down. Second off... its actually sort of a twisted honor... they thought your shot was pretty darned good! Third... some of those pictures are absolutely hilarious.

You take your pick.

There's really no harm being done, so I really won't waste my time with it, it's just a little annoying.
I found it pretty funny that someone wanted to print out one of them, so the 'creator' apparently e-mailed them a "larger and... better quality" version.
Not quite sure how they're going to get a good print from a 600x600/72dpi image, but they can feel free to try.

That being said, I thought this one was pretty hilarious:

Lol, that's cheeky! But kudos to you I guess!

*edit*: I just had a look through that site, and there are pretty funny 'shops!! I like the Tornado one! But then again I like planes, so a bit biased there.

You kept your cool: I'd have lost it.

Do you have a link to the actual flickr page (because what Fark is doing goes against the TOS)

It is hard to prevent things like this...but at least they could have acknowledged the source.

First off, let me say that some of those are pretty cool!! Secondly, if you click on the Flickr emblem towards the top, all it does is open the picture in a new window/tab. It does not link back to your account. I'm not sure why they would do that. Seems to me that it would be pretty simple just to link back to your account to keep within the rules that Flickr has set up.

Going back to check it out a little closer. I'm kind of partial the one that's NSFW.

It's Fark. Sites like Fark, Break and some others just grab images without permission. It's just one of the dangers of putting stuff on the internet.

Good times on the internet. One of my photos got on failblog once, except that it was photoshopped to be wrong first. The entry was promptly deleted when I pointed this out.

I'd send them a bill!!!!!!!! One bill for each photo they screwed with.
