Sorry to start everyone's Morning with the mention of a copyright Thief on site. But its true so - we have one lurker that does not post but comments to others postings- yet lays in wait for just the right picture to cross his screen - change the EXIF to his copyright and post it to Flicker, as his own.

I strongly suggest you downsize your quality photos and water mark them to high heaven.
Maybe we can weed him out and keep honesty back where it belongs.

I strongly suggest you inform the admins who this person is, with examples of photos he has stolen from the site.

Wouldn't an easier way be to block him from the site

I would think so, but being a sneak- he would just come back in under a new name.

If you know this to be a fact. Please give us the Flicker link so we can check for our own images. This doesn't need to be a secret. They have been exposed before.

Exactly! Everyone who finds one of theirs can send a takedown notice and have a significant effect.

Not unless you identify the Flickr page.

The miscreant need not be a member of UHH to steal images posted here. Hence having ADMIN boot someone off has no effect whatever.

What does work is when Flickr starts getting a dozen or more takedown notices. They won't miss the significance.
