Groundspeak Portal

This person is good at posting your waymark photos on Panarimo and tagging them to Google Earth...although their coordinates are off.

Did you email Google?

WOW, He stole some of mine too. I've been putting my copyright on the photos for most images, but I get lazy sometimes. I just didn't think someone would want to steal a photo of Jack In the Box.

I am reporting every one of mine.  There are several.

Photos stolen from my waymarks:
2 photos from http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM5VGN_Jack_in_the_Box_Yermo_CA

Stolen from Waymarking but not mine: 
Ernmark's -  http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM5136_Rio_All_Suite_Hotel_Casino__Las_Vegas_NV

Midnight Cobra's - http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM5M76_Jack_In_The_Box_Edinger_Huntington_Beach_CA
http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM5KQE_TGIF_Windmill

Gryffindor3 - 2 photos from http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM5J0Y_Honda_Center_Anaheim_CA

Bruce, Who do we contact and how? Is it Groundspeak, Google, just posting a comment on the photo?

For the ones on Panoramio  I put the comment and then clicked the button for inappropriate.  Hopefully when they review those they see the comments.

Saopaulo, There's a lot of fast food photos up and down the 5 & 101 and the Bay Area and they all use the waymarking naming convention of "Place - Street - City, State." Odds are good they're yours.

i bet i got a few....

you all have my permission to flag them as you see fit...

As George Orwell would say, "This is very ungood".
As a side note, how appropriate is nazi1944 for a user ID with Groundspeak?

I looked better and I found a bunch. I emailed Google (the email for copyright is http://www.panoramio.com/help/policies_legalities) I just copied the photo idea and copied the waymarking page in list form. We shall see.

I recognize a lot of Featured Waymark photos there.

I found 2 local waymarks, but none of mine.

Holly Hotel by Farkles http://www.panoramio.com/photo/18241856

and Henry Ford by Wrightstuff

It looks like the map is the easiest way to spot them.

Do we have a primer somewhere here on protecting your work?  I'd like to see one.

I was just about to have my feelings hurt that none of mine were stolen...but then I found one of mine.

Flagged it and added a few more notes. Saw a few of silverquills in O Brian Oregon in his list.

From Panoramio's Forum Faq.
"7.4. What do I do about unsuitable images or Copyright violation?
For just one unsuitable image, click the 'offensive/unsuitable' link between the maps on the right side of the page. For a page full, or maybe an extreme image such as pornography, email questions at panoramio with a link to the user's site or image. Do not post a link in the forum.

For copyright violation, again drop an email to questions at panoramio with a link to the offending site. The user will be removed quite quickly."

Wonder how long until this user is "removed quite quickly"

seems to me that if this person recieved enough flags they would 'trash' all of his stuff....both here and there.....

Ooops

I misread the comment on Panorama, I thought he was saying the Farkles stole his photo!

is Rayman's waymark http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM4H7G_Tim_Hortons_Route_5_Lackawanna_NY

Since he likes to post photos not belonging to him I thought I might steal one of his and post a link to it here.

Nazi1944  You know the Nazi's stole artwork too. Maybe that is it.


This guy is a loose nut.

Check out a few of his other online locations.

Here & Here


Here he says he is in Colorado Springs (he's the one in yellow)

Here he says he is in Thailand

Damn it my pics are good enough to steal. I just might email him to ask him why mine aren't good enough for him. Swizzle

Found photos from two of my waymarks here in Bend.

A quick glance at the map and I see a DUK from txoilgas.

I could have worded it better. So I changed it to
"Photo originally posted here
http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM18NFHistoricHolly_Hotel
Please move from Panoramio, quit stealing other people's photos, and what's up with the nazi crap?"

I signed onto Panoramio (since I had no choice) as nazihunter.

Time to write a note and get some photos dumped....someone suggested to me that watermarking might help keep this at bay.
