Cheeky buggers!

It happens to me all the time.  Pictures from my website get taken and also description of goods.  I found a  knowledge base website telling people "The search is over"  They had taken an image from my website and the full description of the item, without my permission.  http://governmentauctionsuk.com/knowledgebase/questions/666/Wemyss+Ware   The goblet on this website was mine (sold now) taken from my website will the full description.  I did add a note at the bottom of the page, but it seems to have gone unanswered.

I know it's frowned upon on ebay. If someone uses your photo or despription you can ask them to delete it.

I notice that there is a watermark on them.  Perhaps the person copied and then watermarked as thier own?  Oops!!

The site is similar to Ebay, and it is the site that watermarks the photos automatically when they are uploaded to the website. The person who nicked them didn't watermark them.

I've had a reply from them thanking me for my interest in the property!

At least I think that's what it says  :)
