Stolen Images: Part Two

[slidekellyslide]

So, a month or so back I posted about a local website using my images without permission to promote a fundraiser for the old Western League ballpark in Lincoln that is now used for High School and Legion ball....now I noticed the seller "Blessed Collectibles" on ebay is using one of my images for one of his fake cabinet photos.

What is the legality of this person selling a reproduction of my photo?

if you don't own the copyright, I don't think you can claim any damages

Blessed Collectibles also used one of mine. The auction ended yesterday. They very carefully said that they suspected the "card" (it is actually a photo) was a reprint then used language that cast doubt on what they had said. Typical scammer. While it is irritatating, I'm not sure much can be done.

Kenny, did you email the seller about it?

[ChiefBenderForever]

With skills like that he should be printing up money.

No, I figured it was a waste of time. The image they stole from me was the 1884 Bellaire team featuring Sol White. What was yours?

if you look at his completed listings... this guy is making a small fortune with what I would call deceptive listings.

although he does say "I do not think the images are original and I believe them to be reprints" in the listings..... he does list the items in the wrong category (the category a 'real' version would go into).
