Image theft warning.

Just a quick heads up guys.

There is a Facebook group called ''The Greatest Planes That Never Were'' that keeps on posting up pictures harvested from this forum.

On one hand it is showing off some of the models built by members off this forum but on the other they are continuing to do so without giving any credit to the members of the forum who own the images.

I've seen this page as well.......

Can we lean on them to give credit where it's due? Whoever's posting them must be a member here surely?

Tim Morley AKA The DarkMaster is the guy in charge for that particular group, and he is a member here.

I once saw a pic I took in NL of a CCG Bo-105 broadcast all over CDN news following a crash. It was cool.

Not cricket. All they need to do is add the link to where they found it. Is it too much to ask?

So, if he's a member here. ask the moderators to tell him to stop or see is he can be banned. If I was a moderator, I would do it.

At least ask him to mention this forum on his FB Group.

Have you mentioned this on the FB group? Perhaps a reminder there might help.

I'm not a member of said group and frankly, (redacted on legal grounds). End of rant.

Captain Canada · July 13, 2015, 07:12:35 AM

I guess that's one way to do it....just kick off any members of who's models you'd like to show

but isnt it good for the brotherhood of wiffers if our talent/work/affliction is introduced to the unwashed masses

I have a few times and got nothing but abuse from some of the members on there for even mentioning the fact that they aren't giving any credit to the owners of the photos and the sites they find the photos.

And if I see the words 'FAIR USE' one more time......
