Copyright or Copywrong?

This is one of my Flickr photographs of Castle Monzie: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cthonus/5751262045/

It's an HDR image that I've not posted elsewhere. Image my surprize when it turned up on the ClanCrichton.org

Keep a very sharp eye on them and make sure they do remove the photo.

Also, have you set your Flickr profile so people cannot download your photos? If you haven't, then I recommend doing so.

I did find the "Sadly I do not have a budget to pay" rather amusing and retorted that she wouldn't get away with a "I stole a bicycle m'lud, because I didn't have the taxi fare."

Every time I contact them they block me. I'm beginning to feel a bit like a stalker, only I'm not stooping to personal attacks and am keeping everything factual.

:s I've set Largest view to 1024 and just set "No" to sharing but I can't find an option to disable the download button. However all the images I've had pinched so far have just been little ones.

In Flickr, go to:

You > Your Account > Privacy and Permissions > Allow Others to Share your Stuff > edit...

Also

You > Your Account > Privacy and Permissions > Who can access your original image files > edit...

That should stop them!
