[Papa_Smurf]

lol i clicked on it and @ first i was like, dammn Guy this looks just like your car... and after a minute he showed me the actual picture, haha.

guy, you need 2 contact the company, and tell them that you're suing them for unlawful use of your picture :goodjob:

really? yeah thats super gay.

[uproot]

I sent them a polite request first, we'll see what happens

at least this company is based in the united states, so i might get some sort of response

[Sammich]

really? yeah thats super gay.

yea i'm pretty sure i made a thread on here about it..i know i made a thread on some forum raising cain..almost nothing i could do..i mean yea i confronted him about it and he tried to BS me talking bout he got it from a meet in cali or some BS..that was my car from the myrtle beach meet we had...

also a host of pple from diff forums backed me up and hasseled the guy..but it was never removed til he got shut down

[Papa_Smurf]

2 different ad's, one for the corner lights and one for the bumper lights.

lol guy you need to tell them you want money fool!

[puregroove]

I vote castration.

People have stolen my pics as well.

[Papa_Smurf]

^ did you ever try to do anything about it?

i mean, if you push it hard enough, there has to be something you can get out of it.

unlawful use of a copyrighted document/picture...:thinking:

[bigdare23]

booooooooo

[yogi08]

sue the **** out of them!!!!

i "know" a guy that has an ariel atom, and there was a CERTAIN shop using his pictures to say they worked on it (i took the pictures), when they DID NOT... he proceed a extremely large case and this SHOP paid good money for him to drop all charges.

this guy just so happen to be related to be in a strong way... BTW!

there is a ton of money to be made, and im going to be extremely upset with you if you dont take advantage of this situation man. good luck :)

[Papa_Smurf]

guy, maybe they sell altezza tails, and they could just use a pic of my dad's car for the bumper lights and tails, they wouldn't need to photoshop :D:D:D

[puregroove]

See this is what sucks about it...I don't have the time to press charges--unless I knew it was worth my time.

[LIKEG6]

GET BOTH THEIR ASSES!!!!!!!!!!!!

:goodjob:

[Papa_Smurf]

Guy, i'm sorry, but you need to take sum kind of legal action.

take some time out of your day and give a lawyer a call and see what they can do. seriously....seriously.

[rbwdriven]

send both of them paypal payment requests for using pictures of your car.

demanding money or legal action.

[yogi08]

but what if THIS guy, is using their car ;)
hmmmmmm. SUE SUE SUE!!!

[twinj]

Eww, I like the ambers in the bumper better.

[KevinT707]

Hrmm, your car looks good on Ebay homie! :)

[jfrolang]

I don't think that litigation is automatically the answer. If they ignore or deny your request to remove your IP, then you can take further action.

Everyone is sue-happy until they realize that a dumb little mistake can have them on the other end of a case where someone wants a ton of money for basically nothing.

[DeeAOne]

hey look at it this way, at least they thought your car looked good enough to use in their ad. :goodjob:

lol.

[Sammich]

lol.

i tried to sike myself into thinking the same thing..but i was still pissed

yeah thats pretty much what i'm doing. I have asked them to remove it, and I have submitted 1 of each of the auctions to ebay's VeRO program which protects individuals intellectual property rights. So hopefully something will happen soon. If not I'll move further... carefully. :goodjob:

[Papa_Smurf]

Aye folk, I need a spark plug cover (B-Series). LMK if you or anyone has one, & don't try to charge me some outrageous price either, or I will straight DDT you :D

[rbf]

This is dumb,how hard is it to just ask someone if you could use their photos?.I am sure you wouldn't mind if they asked plus if you got something out of it,like alot of free amber corners and bumper lights.hahaha

[eva6206213]
