What's the point of taking other people's stuff and reposting it?

Didn't even rename it.
Ugh...

I hate to beat this to death, cause I'm sure it makes me look like an awful
person, but it still rubs me the wrong way...

First of all, the person that have copyed your image do not claim that it is
his/her work. And since the picture is not altered or renamed, and you have
not made a watermark or copyright note on the image, I cant see the trouble.
And if you go further and looks at the rest of the images in that folder,
there is nothing there that indicates that the user claims that this is
his/her owns work.

"All Gallery content is property of the uploader, unless otherwise stated."
So, indirectly, the person who copied the image hase claimed property of my
work by leaving out any statement saying otherwise.

I dont ONLY have MOC's on my Brickshelf Gallery pages, but I've made all
pictures myself and the works that is not mine has a note either that its a
orginal LEGO design/set or who's design the MOC is inspired by.
I have put an copyright note on the page, but have not put an watermark on
them, so I cant realy stop people copying my images. I dont want that
either. If someone wants my picture I'm happy with it. But as I mention in
the copyright note, if someone try to make money on one of my own creations,
I want them to apply my name in their credit list.

Every page on my site says:

"These images and pages are provided for your own
private personal use only. If you wish to use the
images or models for any other purpose, please
contact me first to obtain permission."

I think that's pretty clear...the problem is that people never read the fine
print on either of these pages or any other document.

(...) I say way to stick to your guns, Bram. I understand what everyone else is saying, but at the same time, people need to put themselves in your shoes. I'm sorry your MOCs have been the target of image theft repeatedly, and I'm sure it's (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) Oh I'd bet they read them and then ignored or didn't understand what they read. Of course, then again I've grown more cynical lately. Mike (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
