# i'm not sure i have the funds for it :/
i did manage to get my tag reinstated, which i considered to be a minor victory.
there's a thread about it here

# hmm. Well done but...
Is it really so much research for the Sun to go to the website in the tag on the image and see if the image is on that site? 5 mins max?
Lies, lies, lies, but woo to you for your victory anyway.

# hehe!
and no cash... and i'm still miffed about the copyright right click thing, but i think that's a site wide thing on the sun site

it's all rather irritating - i actually don't mind people using my pics, the only thing i ask is that they keep my url on... doesn't seem that much to ask

# I wouldn't have thought so
but then I'm not a newspaper owned by a twat

# they can remove the tag
and they have one good picture, stolen. What they cannot do is create hundreds of them, or a website chock full of them. They can steal a pic, but not the talent. This is what I tell myself when worrying about people stealing the music I write.

Edit- except I have no talent. Hmmm. Shoulda thought that through...

# but then the original author
wouldn't be credited, potentially missing out on work

imagine if Slim's gopher euro cup picture hadn't had his tag, he might have missed out on work

# absolutely
I agree, but when it's been stolen already, you have to try and be philosophical about it... or buy a small firearm, take all you clothes off, paint eat me on your chest and go postal!

Actually, on reflection...

# hehe.. this is all true
although if you don't mind people using it i do recommend contacting them and saying "credit/link me"
a fair number will do it, and at leats you get some benefit of your work being out there
