Stolen Pictures of Jamaica

[ECO]

Generally I get bent when people steal my pictures and use them on their website without my permission. Today I was looking at my website stats for http://www.ecotours.me and noticed some traffic from a Jamaica site

Code: Select all

IMO my pictures actually look good on their site even though every time someone views the images it's costing me bandwidth and not the people who stole them.

Once their site gets traffic I might change the image on my site to an ad and then it will show up on their site............sort of evil but that's what they get for stealing images and bandwidth.

Isn't there a way to stop persons being able to steal photos? This is one of the reasons why I prefer to have only members viewing images.

I can stop them from stealing my bandwidth but they could still steal the my images, at least now I know who is stealing if they copy paste them I would never know.

That a bit of a cheek isn't it! :O

Can you not put that watermark on your photographs?

Once in a while I'll watermark them but the process takes a while.

There are ways to stop copy n paste. The reason I know is I've tried to copy and paste a few images of a pic I wanted to use as an avatar and the site would not allow it. Maybe it was a good thing because I don't want to get in the dog house over an avatar. Like my avatar > Maxine.
