Kotaku is stealing my Pics

[StandingInAlley]

Gizmodo? Or are they Engadget's rivals?

afaik, Gizmodo, Kotaku are run by the same company where as Engadget, Joystiq etc are run by another company

I will wait for 24 hrs for the reply, if i don't get a reply, i will send a follow up email and if they choose to ignore it

then i will simply go to the rival sites

HAHA, your front page news buddy. This is funny.

OT: I want that shirt Peter Moore is wearing :laugh:

The guy allegedly has GTA4 and Halo 2 tattoos and you're picking on his shirt? Haha!

I think any of the big sites would be interested to know to be honest!

You mean... Digg, Reddit or Slashdot? It would be a fest. Edit: It's on Digg already!

OT: That's a pretty big avatar, creamhackered

[forster]

Did you actually have anything on your blog that said external sources couldnt use your pictures without permission?

Internet sites take pictures from other sites all the time. You've taken a picture of Robbie for your avatar, an image you didnt photograph yourself, and you dont have the copyright for. How is this any different?

Nothing bad against you mate, its always nice to have a heads up.

[Cormier6083]

Joystiq would be a good site...

How could they do something like this?

[JonathanVP]

YEAH..sue them for copyright infringement, just compensation, and extreme emotional distress that this is causing you...should amount to like $10 !

btw, who did you email with this on Kotaku?

[Aleck79]

good luck, can't believe they would just steal your work like that... i used to think it was a respectable web site.

I would demand no less than a public statement by them

[Coldgunner]

tbo, I think its a genuine error, no doubt it'll be resolved quickly

[rajputwarrior]

dugg it, and this is bs, definitioely keep harassing them, hopefully this hits the front page on digg

[Berserk87]

rofl.

front page neowin.

this is gonna be all over the place!

as compensation make them post an article on how awesome you are.

[Kushan]

1up will be glad to hear about this, they're ****ed off because Kotaku made a big fuss when that brazilian guy stole EGN's exclusive on SFIV and posted it on his blog.

[Shasoosh]

first gamespot.. now this.

The whole system is falling apart

[Kushan]

I say we BOYCOTT THE INTERWEB!

[EcPercy]

Payback for all of the pirated software over the years? J/K I had to do it though. :D

I would just make sure to handle yourself professionally. Ask them to take the pictures down or give you credit. After this I would invest in a program that will allow you to watermark your photos.

[Cormier6083]

Mph, I still read Kotaku. :D

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

That shirt is fugly in my opinion.

Wow. You. Disagreeing with me? Never!

:rolleyes:

Couldn't believe it when I had an MSN alert this news made the front page of Neowin :laugh: Good luck with it dude ;)

[Tech Star]

Wow, what is wrong with people this month, first GS and now Kotaku! Hope you get it all sorted out. :)

What is it with you people and suing everyone else? Face it, if Kotaku didn't use your pictures, they wouldn't of seen the light of day. Second, good pictures sell themselves, no need to result to suing to make money. I'd be flattered if a such a company used my images.

I'd be flattered too, but no one is going to know it was your picture if he didn't put credit for you.

[neoadorable]

shame they couldn't be bothered to give you a credit. make sure you talk to them about this before proceeding, but don't let it go so easily. i wouldn't sue though, pain in the butt and not worth it.

[SacrificialSoldier]

Just threaten suit if they dont either credit you, pay you or remove the image! See what happens!

[Popcorned1]

I don't think anyone cares who took the picture to be honest. If it was a really nice piece then yeah, but it's a picture of an XBOX conference, get over it.

It doesn't matter what the picture is, if Kotaku wanted pictures of the conference they should have gone there and taken pictures of it themselves. I think they should have at least given credit and since they didn't bring those bastards down! :D
