Copyright / Flickr

[Feirny]

Just been looking at my stats and have 2 random referrers...

One is using my pictures, and not just one but a whole set.

http://dartsmap.com/photos.html

Surely this is against copyright?

The other is http://mashfot.com/moreflickr.recent.html

Tough call, they arn't claiming that they have taken them and they link back to your flickr?

Change your privacy?

Must be just loading pictures based on their keywords from flickr..

lol, thanks Seb.

Its probably just an auto thing with tags mate on that darts one. A load of mine are on some "Greatest Peugeots" website.

Ive got one referal from facebook too.. No idea what that is..

it is a nice pic

 

[Feirny]

Yeah they link back to my Flickr, it's nice that people like my pics but with out permission its pissed me off a little.

I don't really want to change the privacy, as I like people to see what I do and hide the ones I don't.

A few of Gaz's have been used like that on sites.

How can you find out if your images have been used?

Not that mine are good enough to be used.

Look on your stats page mate, and go to referrals.

I would say one way to avoid it is not to advertise your flickr account in your location information.

even if you set flickR to no links/downloads you just have to look at the source code and you get the link to the image
