Found a picture taken by gyaban at TheChive. Its photo number 16 of his Knight Rider Blue Ribbon Winner.

Thanks for pointing that out, didn't know about it. Hurray, I'm becoming famous! ;-)

You have another 14 minutes of fame coming to you. Spend it wisely.

They've got some balls, putting their watermark on your image. I'd be seriously pissed.

I don't care much about their watermark tbh. Photography is just a hobby for me, so I'm happy if some of my pictures obtain attention :) I agree it is not an extremely polite behaviour, but well, better some consideration than none.

Would be a different story if this was my source of income, I suppose.

It's just a "posted at" watermark, not a "photo by" one. They should do what DarkRoastedBlend does and at least make an attempt to give credit to the photographer underneath the image (with a link).

Frankly, they should do nothing. Other people's property is no place for their watermark, and their website is no place for other people's property.

You are correct, both legally and morally, however, I interpreted George's post to mean that should they disregard both of your points, the very least they could do is attempt to attribute it correctly.

If it were my picture, I would be pleased it was enjoyed, but displeased that they had stolen my work.

I think it would be cool to find out that my picture was posted elsewhere, especially a site that get's loads of traffic. I would just respectfully ask them to use a picture with a watermark instead and would include one in the email I write to them to use.

isnt that like illeagal?
They obviously got it off this site, which in the first place is bad, and they don't even give him credit.

It isn't an issue if the owner doesn't mind.
