I'm not sure this is worth posting again but..... I don't have the
end of any stick (friendly response, not irate) but was just trying
to clarify issues, again:
Yes if the guy is using someone else's photo he is stealing. No
brainer - proving it to an internet company is a different issue
(DMCA or not which by the way I have a response to but did it off
list if anyone else is interested I would be glad to send it but
actually I doubt it)
If the original post was about the car in the picture and not about
who took the image, there is no stealing, the issue would be not be
copyright or trademark but fair trade (endorsement)
Please note the original post said "This item: 250199658652 has a
picture of my car!" Note the sentence is not: has my picture of my
car. The claim of ownership is on the car in the picture not of the
picture.
I bet everyone is sick of this topic!
Mike :)
