COPYRIGHT Infringements on FACEBOOK Ship-Lovers
« on: November 25, 2014, 02:05:03 PM »
Hello folks,

I came across a site from facebook, named "Ship-Lovers"

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ship-Lovers/512232695535502

The owner of the site, who is not named, does pick photos from sites like FleetMon and possibly shipspotting.com too, and upload them.

The tricky thing is: Watermarks are removed and replaced with his own watermark.

I have found already few photos where I have verified, this has happend.

Check yourself, if you find some photos, and you can report that to Facebook if you want, or inform the site owner.

Greetings,

Cornelia

I was informed that he took 2 of my photos, but as I have no Facebook account I cannot contact him, and I have no idea how to inform Facebook by mail.

Good morning Derek,
thanks for reply, I found a site as a non-member

https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/208282075858952
reported my issue with the sources of my photos.
Just received a mail from Facebook that they had deleted my 2 photos.

I reported the whole site with all copyright violations also as a non-member to

Facebook, Inc.

Regards

Many photos are taken from FleetMon. Their logo was removed and replaced with own one. I have contacted FleetMon directly, as I am not a member there. They have written a public message on the site of the group, as well I received mail from them, that they are watching.

If any of you have an account with FleetMon it seems to be worth to check, whether the person has also taken some of your photos and replace them with own logo.

Greetings,

Cornelia
