Dokumentation eines Diebstahls

Zu diesem Foto erhielt ich heute den folgenden Kommentar:

Are you aware that this guy has stolen your image?:
flickr.com/photos/jpigraphics/242680642/

I spotted at least five of mine that were taken.

Ich verlangte sofort, dass mein Bild aus diesem Stream entfernt wird und benachrichtigte Flickr von dem Diebstahl.

Heute abend erhielt ich von der Inhaberin des Accounts, in dem mein Foto als "eigenes" Foto erschienen war, folgende Mail:

Dear lichtundschatten:

I am sending this message to you and a number of other people this morning.

I apologize most strenuously that your photo is in my photostream. I was informed on Friday that this photostream, which was created for me by a former employee who's no longer with me, is chock full of photos that belong to other people. I did not know this. He represented the account as photos that he took (and uploaded a few that I took myself). It was also originallly a private account, to be used as research reference, and before he left he switched everything public, probably for this very effect (he was somewhat disgruntled). I tried to change the account for other reasons after he left, but he is the administrator of the account and I ws not able to do so.

I have been cooperating FULLY with the person who first noticed one of her photos in the photostream (you can email her to confirm this, she is agilitynut - probably the person who contacted you). I am contacting Flickr myself (as she has) to try to get the account shut down. Please accept my apologies. I really had no idea the account was being used this way and I am doing everything I can to put a stop to it.

Thanks for your patience.

- Annie

Ich werde weiter berichten, auch darüber, wie Flickr in solchen Situationen reagiert.
