Hi there folks! Today I found one of my images on another 'image site'. I have no idea how it got there... After a quick look, I also found one of Cosme's (isacos) images there. Apparently they have been posted on that site by a person (in this case 'gdmora') who just posts other people's images. The funny thing is that the name of the 'creator' is mentioned (in this case: 'miss you by girsempa'). I guess that prevents it from being classified as image theft... but still I'm a bit uneasy about this, because I didn't give permission to post one of my images. Have a look here: http://xwall.metropoliglobal.com/galerias/details.php?image_id=70523&sessionid=d23e0ea72d137347406c83823c4d3c19 (it's a spanish site; you may get asked to confirm your agreement to view the images, and if you want to further explore, you have to register) Has anyone encountered these or similar situations? Maybe there are other images from other RR members on that site... Try doing a google search with your 'artist name' and 'xwall' to see if one of your images is there... who knows? One thing's for certain: my image was posted by somebody who has seen and copied it here on RR, because it hasn't been posted anywhere else on the net (by me that is) ;o)) I would like to know what you think about this situation, and if I could or should do something about it...
