| Ethics What would you do if a person went on your personal web site that you have put a copyright declaration on, posted that pictures are not to be copied and took your pictures, removed the stamp you put on them and are posting them eveywhere? |

| That sucks. It's happening way too much with these scammers. I know my cat's breeder has some kind of protection on her website that won't allow you copy and paste or save a picture on her site. I don't know how she made it that way, but that would be effective since people couldn't copy your pictures from your site. I would tell them you have a lawyer and report any listings they've made with your pictures so their listings will be removed. Maybe the mention of a lawsuit and a lawyer will scare them

| Spoke with an attorney and was told that all pictures are personal property and they are copyrighted. Also spoke with an international web builder and I was told that no one has the right to copy pictures off of a web site and to post publicly without written permission. Hopefully this will not have to get ugly. |

| You can go into your web builder and make it so no one can copy pics off your site - I had to do this to stop my dogs and puppies from being listed on Puppyfind by a scammer , If you can't figure out how to do it - PM me and I will help you- unethical people don't care anything about our copyright- they just erase it with editing software - just make it so they can't take it - If a customer or someone wants a pic they can email you and you can always send it to them

Silly me! Guess the Czech site is OK then? Whatever. The 'international web builder' part threw me off and made me ask, sorry. | |

| There is a way to code your website, so that people can't steal your pictures.

| We have contacted an attorney and have taken the steps he told us to. It's really sad when you say that pictures are personal property and not for public use and they take them anyway. |
