This week, as most weeks, there are various stolen funnies from b3ta.
However; this issue contains a picture of my private parts to which I own the copyright.
Not only has said international publication printed a picture of my penis, but they have stolen it also.
This picture was taken when I was 16 years old.
In light of above facts, what should I do, b3ta?
Let's not get carried away with 'ZOMG!!!1 SUE THEM LOL!!!1!'.
Special thanks to Riverghost and cr3 for the heads-up.

Edit: Someone here replied to a riverghost thread about their mum being a lawyer. It sounds daft, but why not just ask her for advice?
Edit2: Ah found it. See below...

I'm an old fella, retired businessman. Well versed in corporate bullshit. Let me know if you'd like some help in a pre-legal manner. I'm pretty good at shaking the tree plus I already have legal council on retainer.
Seriously. I'll open the initial discourse if you would feel intimidated by it.

as you already published this pic in the public domain with no attached copyright to it, I'm not sure you have a leg to stand on.
I may (hopefully) be wrong
You may now all begin the beating

the internet is not public domain. You can post images on the internet and still retain 100% copyright ownership. Most of the images posted on here are illegal, because we use other peoples images with only minor alterations, but we're rebels so we don't care.

You are allowed to use an image for the purpose of parody.

but in this case there can be no doubt that you own the copyright since it is you and you haven't used any other copyrighted images to produce it (I assume all the bits stuck to you you actually made) which is the usual argument.
I would try calling them or writing to them advising that they have used your likeness (pfft) and at least try and blag a Wii off them.
If that doesn't work then I would suggest ZOMG!!!1 SUE THEM LOL!!!1!

You could get them in very, VERY big trouble.
Then again B3ta would probably get in trouble too.

They're bigger therefore easier to handle, less wriggly, more likely to just snuggle in your jumper sleeve and go walkabout with you, and are SO much more intelligent. Like little dogs.
My first rat used to go literally everywhere with me, he claimed a little wicker basket with flaps as his own and from that day forth he basically lived in it. I took him to Morrisons, to the library, to the hairdressers....

You have to be over 18 to show your private parts legally. That's why you have to be 18 to do porn.
The legal age for topless shots however is only 16.
Plus - you can have actual sex at 16 but you can't buy videos of other people doing it until you're 18.
So what we have here is a photograph of an underage boy's penis.

go to a free advice bureau.
I, as a law student, can state this with utter certainty: You should seek free legal advice.

Tricky one. I think perhaps consult citizens advice, then send a strongly worded letter.
Although first of all I think you need to be clear exactly what you want from them. An apology? Compensation? Recognition?

Then explain why it's kiddie porn.
Then watch them shit themselves.
Then post any replies you get from them.

Fact #1: They cruise b3ta for their pics
Fact #2: Your nob shot was not only a front-pager, there was a running gag about it being a front-pager for days.
Fact #3: If they didn't ask, it's because they didn't care or because *they* are nobs.
You made that image and you can prove it, yes? They used it without making a reasonable effort to identify you or locate you.
Send them an invoice.

Contact details in profile if you need them.
