Being that the member is in prison and the car is long gone, I think it's a moot point.

Who cares? He is using a bunch of different pictures of cars just to explain what a flip flop trunk is. His auction has nothing to do with the actual car, its just a kit that will accomplish what is being showed in the picture.

Plus like fr33way said, that car has been gone and the owner isnt around to complain.

first of all in order to sue them your gonna have to show proof that its your car not that it looks like it showing the plates and when they do show the plates they blank them out

That is the dumbest ****ing thing I have ever heard. What are you going to sue for? There is absolutely no way to prove that they stole that picture. Plus, its not like pictures posted on maxima.org are protected under some copyright.

You can only sue if the pictures are under copyright not because it's a picture of your car no matter if you are the one who took it or not. You all you should be proud that someone went out of their way to look at your car.

FYI, if an image is not copyrighted then it is free for anyone to use. I steal pics of items I'm selling on Ebay, it's quick.
