You have a couple options: call them and demand the pictures of your vehicle be taken down. Not only is it illegal to use your vehicle for their advertisement, but also it is just plain fraud for them to post a picture of someone's truck that they have zero connections with.

The second option is obviously to speak to a lawyer.

Hell they want to use my photo to sell BG on their site, then they can pay me for the junk photo.

It's cool at that point I didn't know which way to to take T that's why the head lights are blacked out. Something deep down makes me want to punch babes in the face when I see this photo.

I doubt you'll get $ for it but you can ask them to take it down or have them sign an agreement for the use. Or ask for $100 but you won't get big $. You should at least get credit for the pic if the money isn't important, and you should get acknowledgment that the pic is yours.

I think they have cause you personal and public humiliation by using your picture and midifying it to misrepresent a vehicle that is near and dear to your heart. The picture has cause you to be rediculed by your peers, causing loss of sleep and sexual disfunction. I'd say thats worth a few bucks.

I run into this pretty often, I often google search terms that fit my photos to see where they're being used. It would cost most than it's worth to actually go after them, but generally you can squeeze a few $$ from them for what they did. Anyone with a brain knows the basics of copyright law, and they KNOW they did something illegal.

I generally shoot for $200 is it's a company that looks to have good revenue.


Since these guys are lowball bait & switch bottom feeders (check threads about steelcraft winch bumper for reference, they lie about stock then tell you later they don't have it), I'd hammer them. Don't let them off for nothing.

solid, you 1st need to contact them and tell them that you are the photographer, own the copyrights to the image & demand that they remove the picture, before you try to get them to pay you any money for your "emotional distress" and/or "sexual dysfunction". :) If your going to go after money damages based on "sexual dysfunction, you might as well include your wife's claim for her "loss of consortium". * :wink:
