Lucky you spotted it, it makes me worry if any of my pics have been used without permisison. I don't want to have massive watermarks on photos but may be the only way.
Having worked for quite a while as a photography editor for a weekly student paper (of around 35 sides + pullouts), I find that quite a remarkable statement. For me to have done that for our images would have taken a considerable time. Do you have any idea in the slightest how much work that would take for a daily paper?They'll no doubt claim that the photo was sent to them by someone, possibly purporting to be the photographer. Not sure what the law is here but I'd assume it's up to them to determine the provenance of the photo before using and not simply taking the word of the person submitting it.
Are you really that fussed? It's not exactly a piece of artwork. It's an amusing snap for sure but it's not as though your original intention for the piece was to make money, thus you haven't lost any revenue from it.
https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk might be worth it, lots of companies have t&c that don't stand up to law imo.
I can't seem to find anywhere on your pbase site that says it's copyrighted material, you put it up on the interent for all and sundry to see, public domain surely?
EDIT: Oh there it is, hidden away on the pbase home page, might want to make it plain on every image/page.

indeed, you don't need to say "COPYRIGHT ME 2009!!!11" on every image, thats not how our copyright law works
Paragraph 8 of their T&Cs may have you over a barrel tbh, as said above. I'd try the softly softly approach, as per Raymond Lin's suggestion above. See what happens, you have nothing to lose by sending them a letter by recorded post!
As the person hasn't it has no regard to the op.8.3.2. for which you have not obtained all necessary licences and/or approvals;
Sorry, but what?
Please don't use the small claims court/moneyclaim etc for this. Apart from anything else, you'll end up wasting more tax payers' money than you'll win back, and it's not as if you have a huge moral point to make. If you ask them to remove it and they refuse, then that would be another matter.
Do you have any experience or knowledge to back up your shock at my assertion? Where did you get £250... your ass? Sounds like it.5 figures? calm down..
i think around £250, but i'd bump it up a bit due to the whole copyright theft issue.
All original works are implicitly copyrighted until otherwise stated. It isn't the other way around.I can't seem to find anywhere on your pbase site that says it's copyrighted material, you put it up on the interent for all and sundry to see, public domain surely?
