Flickr ...
Hi.
I have recently heard that one of my contacts found some of his (especially high resolutioned) pics were stolen and sold as a postcard in his own country, or some other products in the US with somebody else's name(s). It is a sort of luck that he found it out (he was informed by his contacts!) otherwise he would not know anything but only his pics were out globally.
What do you think?
It's OLD and NEW and EVER-PRESENT problem in this Flickr world (I know it would not be in only the Flickr though) and the Flickr is the easiest platform for pic thieves.
Once you upload something in the webs, you should, maybe, prepare for the possibility that it could be stolen but it is really sad and discouraging. I would like to know if you are doing anything against it and what it is. Thanks in advance.
BTW the contact is now thinking to quit Flickr, or even, quit photography itself.
Oh, please don't! I love to see your pictures.
