I recently came across a website that had used an image of mine without requesting, permission or even a credit, nevermind a link to the original on flickr. Recently I also learnt about a fantastic online tool called Tineye that searches the web for your images. So, I tried the said image because I knew it had been used in one place without consent. The result was that it found that one and a parallel site, so there are 2 websites that have just taken the image with no questions asked. When I first came across the image on the first website I posted a comment on the site explaining who I was and for them to get in touch. The comment was never posted and I have heard nothing from them and they have persisted in using the image without my consent.
