Its really pathetic how people copy others work and claim credit for that. Is there a way to report this person as bogus? We can do that for you, if there is a way. Also its good to frame the picture with the copyright information but then when they are intending to copy they can always remove the frame add a one with their name on it. The only solution would be to leave a copyright mark on the photo but this I feel would spoil the beauty of the pic. So can't think of any way to avoid this without making the photo look ugly, which I hate to do. Vish Rubic,

All I know is that the pic is the exact copy of my original. It could be a problem with Flickr. I have been thinking about it for a while now and there are some ways in which this can be a Flickr issue. If the guy who "seems" to have copied has genuinely done so, I still want to know why. I did not want to go on the offensive right at the beginning and ask "How come you showcase this as your work when it is mine?". He has not yet responded. Maybe it is time that I take it up with Flickr now. One positive reason that this has been blogged is... a) people know that this is happening and will be on the lookout. b) it is possible that someone else has had a similar issue and will come up with a resolution method. And for the record : I do not copy pictures. If I did, I do mention the websites that I pick them up from. To the extent possible, I have not copy-pasted even code nor reverse engineered stuff. Just so that the argument of people staying in glass houses does not arise on this topic. Jacky – why was I polite with him/her?

Btw, why were you so polite with him/her? My point is if it's raised as a moral issue to ponder elsewhere then it's better to do a bit of self-introspection. Easy. Rubic_Cube,

I am not complaining about why he has put it up on his site. Also, if you notice, he has tagged it "Deccan Herald" which surprises me more. If DC has published the photo without my permission, then yes, this is an issue. If the photo is simply sitting on that website, then atleast appropriate credits should be mentioned. This is more like an Anu Malik style copy. Copy it exact and claim it as original! Jacky – It is not about copyright issues. I am not complaining about why he has put it up on his site.

Why can't we give back something to Net? This might sound strange but we are all leechers, we download movies, music and almost everything that is copyrighted but the laws are non-existent if it's not our intellectual property. As long as the photographer is not aiming at putting his work in any competition it's better to ignore these things.

There is a framing tool that is available from flagrantdisregard.com site. http://flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/frame.php Also, I have seen Anita Bora signing her pictures with a frame. Maybe I could so something like that. There are other Flickr toys available at http://flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/. Hey Ferro, Thanks for bringing this up.
