Abuse of bonsai photos

Morten, one of your trees has been targeted for photoshop phoolishness at Fark.com:

The one with Charlie Brown is the only one that shows any creativity, which is a shame because usually those farkers do some good work.

Don't they need to ask permission for using the photos???

Funny stuff

No its not allowed without permission, sadly more and more pictures are used at several sites.
I have one of my accents featured on a blog (without my permission)but no problem for me, more people are able to enjoy my accent this way.
But all things said, if this would be my tree i would contact the fark site, some of the pics made are a bit offensive.

Kind regards
Peter

A.Body recently (actually it is still there) used a picture of my large Oak on eBay while advertising Oak Bonsai seeds...sigh.

Waste of space complaining to eBay, they never take any action.

Thanks Pootsie. I have contacted the site and asked them to remove the pictures immediately. It is strictly against the copyright laws, and I do feel offended of the way my work and photos are used. Normally I would laugh and accept with normal funny uses, but some of this is too vulgar to me (and I do have a good sense of humor). I am not being sensitive normally but I am very strict when it comes to copyrights. I always allows use of my works for non commercial use when asked, but steeling photos is illegal. Thanks again for exposing this here.

Best regards
Morten Albek
