Who are these guys?
http://www.osrocketracing.com/

I have contacted them about their use of my photos on their site- which they did without permission and removed the watermark, but they failed to respond within a few weeks.

If anyone knows them, please give them a nudge.

Never heard of them before - but aren't there laws about this kind of thing? Surely there must be a legal proceedings form or something you can send them, at least if anything it might scare them into removing them??

Well for now I'll just let people know what they did and maybe then they will respond to my emails.

Thanks for my secret informer who spotted this a while ago and told me about it. I'm sure they are 'good guys' and 'overlooking' my email was an accident.

John replied to me now, perhaps they lost my previous email. It was funny to be asked which images I was talking about.... hmmm, the two big ones with a huge white box over the watermark perhaps?

They didnt even do it properly and just crop the image, just put a big white box in the way :P Bit harsh!

Those would be the images that were blatently stolen from oOple. I generally find that when I find my car on oOple, when I right click, copy and paste into something else, I remember doing it cos it's a fairly dliberate action...

Sorted now - never got an apology but there you go. If they'd asked I probably would have let them use the photos for nowt.
