Its just a search engine, You have to contact the owner of the photograph which clearly states it copyrighted . Unless your planning on selling your work I wouldn't worry about it... Microsoft does it along with flicker. Avian websites are really bad with this but it clearly states that they are copyrighted . No big deal really . Just my thoughts ..
"You have to contact the owner of the photograph which clearly states it copyrighted ."
Correct.
However, it is ironic that myriad of our photos pop up under the heading
"Free Stock photos".
A large number of people worldwide will see that as a licence to just copy what they want.
Of course, they do that already:):):):)
Personally, I am not that worried about this, but I found this very ironic.
True .. I came across this months ago and at first I was outraged . After I thought about for a while I realized that it was a search related tool on the visual side . If I Google my handle (domesticfix ) I can see almost ever post and image that I downloaded under that name. we could contact pixsy and ask to be removed from there search tool . That might work .
Has ft made any comments on this yet ? I see your point though it shouldn't be under free stock images ..
Agree with the word Jomoud uses: "ironic".
I don't like it at all and I also don't think it's funny.
Of course everyone takes anything from the Web, and you can find all you ever published everywhere at the web.
But this is something else.
FT could block the FT-content. But instead of that: FT is just allowing Pixsy to get our pics.
"free stockphotos"........ridiculous !
