Image Stealing

topic posted Tue, May 13, 2008 - 2:38 PM by  Yasemin
This just sucks - I posted it in a couple other Tribes, but jeez..I hate this shit.
Someone tipped me off so I checked out 'Peacock Moon' www.peacockmoons.com/page/pa...7783.htm

Almost the entire page of Skirt images was taken from our website www.Tribalbazaar.com
also so have many of the Tribal pant pics. i haven't even gone thru the whole site yet.
There is no email contact only a Phone #.

Does anyone know them, or are they by chance on Tribe?

If they mistakenly thought they were stock photos, I can understand, but IF they stole the images, i hope they would be ethical enough to remove them.

(yes, we are going to start watermarking or locking our images, but we have hundreds and it will take some time.)

      *hands Nisha some chapstick and politely looks away*

      There really is no excuse for using other product images as your own.
      Well, except maybe laziness or the fact that their product is so embarassingly inferior to yours they are ashamed to post their own photos.

    I think we were discussing them on the "Boycotts" tribe recently (not as a don't buy but looking for recommendations) ... I'll try to confirm that or figure out where else it was ...

      Update, I spoke with our skirt supplier, she's pissed also as they took images from their catalog without permission and didn't even remove the item # (talk about dumb).

      Anyway, they took images of our cotton pants, but ours were specially made for us out of Crinkle Cotton. They don't have those pants!
      Haha talk about misleading.
