Legal question about Pictures on the Internet? - Watermark

Re: Legal question, can anyone answer this?

OK allow me to remove the foot from my mouth!!!

I received a very nice email from Kate Carr, the current editor of the Pro carwashing and detailing magazine.

She reminded me that I DID INDEED SEND THEM THE PIC to use with the mobile vs fixed detailer story.

I am embarrassed that I forgot I sent the pic and that I made a stink about this. I apologize to Mrs. Carr, to PC&D magazine and to Mr. (Bud) Abraham and ask for their forgiveness.

Yah like everyone else said, as long as it is your work, it is your property. You could take legal action if you wanted to. Just because someone posts pictures here doesnt mean that its now copyright by MOL unless it says it in the TOS when you sign up. Many photoshop tutorial forums have that kind of policy.

If nothing else, I never knew there was a Pro Carwashing and Detailing magazine. I just signed up for a subscription. So this thread at least raised there subscription number.

Glad to hear it all worked out. What's that saying about the memory going? Oh well, I don't remember.

A carefully worded "cease and desist" on attorney letterhead should put a stop to someone using your pictures on their site.
