Flickr Theft

Well, not mine. But a member of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier group seems to have come across an Ebayer who appears to take from Flickr and then sells cards.

Best of all this ebayer claims in replies to flickrmail (posted by the recipient) that buyers aren’t bothered that the images are stolen. When reminded that it is copyright theft the ebayer replies…….

“lol a thief indeed and I didnt need to where a mask the irony is we are a couple one being a police sergeant and an SO in the prison service lol !! Anyway the items are now removed and I assure you this causes no problems to me at all yet seemingly has caused you far more stress!! Judging from the length of your reply that is!!
I hope you find to find prosperity in these images 🙂 ”

The superb original image.

One positive I’ve discovered about this is the ability on Flickr to SpaceBall (it layers over a blank gif image to prevent dragging to the address bar and downloading) your images, though plug ins are available to circumvent this (as usual!)
