Just come across this one on Flickr @Tony
Took screenshots of 6968 and 6969 and posted them 'so more people can see'. Not sure on your views of people doing this - they're not claiming them as their own at least

On the first video, the pic of at 6712 at 0:35 appears to be their profile pic on Flickr too

If I may add my four penny's  worth,  If you do not wish anyone  to pinch your photos  this will have left you with two options, One is to have the setting on Flickr  so that only you and possibly friends  can see them  or Two  just delete them that way they cannot be stolen,   till  recently I have just under Six Million  views of my photos on Flickr,  that was till I saw how easy  it can be to have your photos stolen,  I use  Opera Web Browser  to surf the web, it unfortunately it comes with software  called Snapshot, using this software  it is possible to nick as many photos as you wish, I have now deleted all of my photos from Flickr rather than have them pinched,

Try Snapshot (it is free)  it made me rethink about having my photos on the web, all of my photos had a Watermark on them but apparently there is software that can remove the Watermark  from the photo, I hope that this has been of use ?

I haven't been on Flickr for a few years, but my photos are still on there. What a shame if you've deleted all your content. You had some amazing photos.

Greetings

The problem is that they leave your photos on Flickr  but are able to make a decent  copy of the photos  and do as they please with it and I am rather possessive  of the Copyright to my photos trying to take these thieves to make them pay  will cost a great deal of money I
aint got I am till taking   photos but they are going into my database of photos

You don't even need to do that, even if you disable downloads of your photos on Flickr, you can just go into the developer tools in Chrome and probably other browsers, and download the image from there.

You can remove watermarks in Photoshop fairly easily, although it is more difficult to remove ones that are larger and cover more areas, but then it doesn't look as good.

Tbh, although he has not taken credit for the photos, he has used them both on Flickr and You Tube and this is wrong. It is still an infringement of copyright, plus the simple fact is, this guy (hope its nobody on here) hasn't taken a single photo and yet is getting credit for them.

Had a look at this guys videos and someone had commented that they were pics from WM Bus Photos and he said yes.

So I asked if he had intentions of asking the owner of these photos' permission to use them, I got the following reply

"Itz LD713821 replied: "oof I will ask now, if he says no then I will take down the vids I used with wmbusphotos""

It looks like it is Chris Clarke. So far it is only Ronnie Morgan's photos he is using. Nice if he credited him though

True  I though you like to know as you have spent a lot of time putting Ronnie's photos onto your website which all photos that you do put onto your website are 10 out 10 in my book
