I'm opening a second thread for discussions about the stolen photos tracker.
I'd like to keep the actual photo documentation thread clean for easy reading and use this thread for discussion.
My initial comment - some people ask why we don't watermark our photos?
Two reasons - 1: The watermarks obscure the photos to some degree (inherently) and that partially defeats the purpose of trying to show good product photos.
2 - I don't think the the onus should be on the owner to have to protect what is obviously theirs...the onus should really be on why are people stealing what is nottheirs?
Best regards Less

Wow, thanks for the link - they've really gone to town with our photos. I'll grab some screen shots and then submit this to the Ebay IP and get their auctions pulled.
Thanks Less

Sorry, I will remove my other comment from the other thread. Amazing how people will resort to such tactics. Also, if you watermark parts of an image that don't cover up things (like top or bottom) then they can easily be cropped out.

Hi Less,
Here's another ebay photo thief. I believe this is the BTD asscher cut, right? This seller had the gall to watermark YOUR photo!

I would email them and ask if this is a royal asscher cut as shown in the picture or just the standard asscher cut .
