Big brother is watching you…
Ok, maybe not THAT big brother but rest assured, whatever you’re up to, someone is watching.
Case in point - I placed a listing on eBay a few days ago to sell a bit of radio gear I don’t have a use for anymore. For convenience and because I couldn’t be bothered to take a picture of my item for sale I used a picture from another sellers listing (as many do, apparently). I was today emailed by that seller who was a bit miffed that I’d used his picture without asking permission. Oops - busted!
Now as a photographer, who has at times had my own pictures used without permission, I should know better so an apology was made after a brief email exchange. I suspect that what really annoyed him though was the fact I had an identical item for sale at a starting bid of less than half his asking price!
