I wonder how this happened? I noticed one of my pictures just recently on someone's website!! The picture obviously came from the Better Photo website as I hadn't posted it anywhere else. I wonder how that happened. I would have look at the site as I wouldn't be surprised if other photographers' work is on this particular site without the user's permission (as in my case). http://portalstopeace.com/All%20Quotes%20Categorized/Love%20&%20Peace/Love%20Does%20Not/Love%20Does%20Not.htm

It happens all the time, Janet. We found a lot of our photos on Flickr a few years ago. You never know where they are going to turn up..the disabled right click only stops the undetermined. I've seen my shots on other sites, but since they gave me credit, I didn't get too upset. Most people just email the site and most of the time they remove it.

Thanks very much for that information Carolyn! I didn't bother contacting the person in question because, like your experience, credit was also given and I also felt sorry for the lady whose site the photo was on after reading about her personal background on the site. And after all, 'tis the season to be giving! Regards, Janet.

This does happen a lot! Sometimes, folks give credit, sometimes not. If a photo has been featured as a POTD (or was a previous contest winner), it seems to be more visible...therefore, more vulnerable. You can sometimes find what's been posted where by searching your name (or website address if you have one) in the "Images" toolbar at Google. All of the associated images within that search parameter will show up (assuming that due credit was given) and you can hover over the image to see what web page it will take you to. I found two of mine on Ask.com...which seemed ironic, since they never asked to use them. (Links to my website were included so I let them slide.)

At least our photographic work gets "promoted" on the web!
