Photobucket Ripping Artists Work

[coupekid]

Hi all,

You may wish to do a search on Photobucket.com to check to see if any of your work has been 'copied'.

I have searched my user name 'Coupekid' and have seen that four of my images are there. I havent delved any deeper, but will be.

There is a news article on another website here to explain a little more, and what to do if you find any of your work:

Cheers!

Mmm seems there is also someone using your username too with an album.

I have to say that I always keep my Photobucket albums Private. They are not for public browsing though I can link to any photo when needed.

Sadly, I dont have any copywrite on the username.....
My pictures were copied from my DeviantArt gallery.

Ben,

I too like Stephen keep my images in a private Album. But I haven't yet gotten a personal website finished yet.So none of my images are yet online. Don't your images have watermarks?

Re: Photobucket Ripping Artists Work

A quick google shows that my username is quite commonly used - mostly by other people!

I guess I should think of something more original but even then there's no guarantee that someone else isn't using it.

I have a number of albums on various sites but keep the majority of them private ever since I got a dubious email about some pictures of my granddaughter (on Photobox).
