He is using it as his profile photo here on picturesocial. Sorry guess I should have been more specific.

down the very bottom of this site there's a link called "report an issue". Click on it and you can pick what type of issue you have and write a little description and hopefully they'll come and tell this guy off =)

No it's still there, it's the sunset with the kids playing in the water.

Ok...I understand now...I thought you were talking about your profile pic (self portrait)......Have you tried contacting him and asking him to cease or else?

I recently found another person on here using someone else's picture. I first contacted PictureSocial about it, and never got a response. I also contacted the original photographer, who must have contacted PictureSocial, because the picture was removed the next day. I have subsequently removed all my pictures that didn't have a watermark on them. I originally had about 110 pictures on here, now I have 4. Not sure if I'm going to upload pics anymore. In fact, the person to which I am referring, seems to have a lot of expensive software to offer people for free. I would think twice before giving unknown people your email address and/or downloading anything from him onto your computer.

Hi Ceri,

Thanks mate for the info and for letting us know what is going on here. I'm really quite surprised that anyone can think of using another person's picture for their own ends. It seems so strange. I wonder how people think?

Who knows how many copyright infringements are happening on the internet and how many people are using other people's pictures for their own dishonest gain. Hope it all gets sorted out real good.

Blessings to you mate.

Regards,

Rory

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for helping us sort out this issue. Once Terri reported the issue to us using the links at the bottom of the page (Report an Issue), we contacted the person who was infringing on her work and requested for him to remove her photo from his profile. We chose to give him a chance to comply rather than just ban him immediately. But we still didn't receive any message from him so now he has been removed from the site. I'm sorry if this caused any of you concern.

The best way to get a hold of the moderators of this site is to "Report an Issue" located at the bottom of the page.

Thanks,
Please continue to enjoy the site.

I think the ball was dropped on this one.

Personally, this is one of the first times I have seen or heard something like this. We now show nearing 3000 persons on the site and until now it is surprising how good it has been. The ones that come to mind are the cartoon characters and just the past three days where someone is using a picture of Johnny Depp. I say, let the flames die down and see what happens. The other idea may be to not allow a save, save as and/or copy on all photos. That would surely put a stop to it. I think Kelly and Terri have a legit beef as would anyone who felt wronged.
