We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Although a little weird and the idea that someone would say my camper was theirs seems sad, I wouldn't really care.
But, what if someone photo - shopped it with an image of a pervert doing something disgusting in front of the RV and inferred you were involved? My bottom line: trust no one.

As an amateur photographer, I generally do not post my photos on any internet forums, FB, Twitter, etc. I've known multiple artists who have had images stolen off the internet - the thieves were usually using those images to sell mugs, mouse pads, and such on cafepress, etc. The sad thing is, those thieves weren't even stealing the "good works" - they stole anything and everything.
I'm the other way around, as an avid photographer and pilot I've got a huge number of my aerial photos online, BUT, they are only posted on places where it is clearly indicated that they are copyright protected, that they are available for commercial use (for a fee of course) and that any unauthorized use will be prosecuted.
I've 'sold' way more photos by finding them and sending a demand letter than I ever would just offering them. It's also REALLY hard for 'offenders' to negotiate the price they're going to pay after the fact. ๐
I should clarify. I do have my photos posted online where someone can purchase them, etc. However, I don't post them on forums like this, FB and other sites with TOCs that claim rights to what I post and don't let me cancel those rights, and so on.
Assuming it's me personally who both owns the copyright and posts the photos.
They'd have to get whatever forum owner to divulge all the details about the registrant, good luck with that, and then prove Elmer J. Fud (the registrant) had the legal right to give up those rights.

BTW, please excuse the pic of the bear sitting at the picnic table. I'm not sure where that came from.

I don't see what the big deal is. You posted a picture on a public forum and someone from the public used your photogragh. Remember that you provided the link to your picture to the world.

Fearful, paranoid? No. I am certainly not going to PROVIDE the information to the criminals.
It's called common sense, keeping my property and families safe. IMHO many people are just not thinking of all the ramifications of all what 'can' happen allowing so much of their personal information to be out there.
