Customenterprises.com stole a picture of my car to put on their website. They put it on the fog light page, its the green 4th generation. Fog Light Page. I contacted them but got no reply. I would not recomend buying from them as they have to steal pictures of cars to sell their cars. If you go to my website you will see the exact picture except without the logo on the picture.

 

Did you email or call them? Or both?

 

no reply? I'd raise h3ll....it's not cool to just steal people images

 

How did they get the picture? If you posted it online, you're pretty much screwed. You forfeit a lot of rights if they can find it through some place like google.com

But honestly, I'd leave it there. It's a stock front end, they could get that picture anywhere that they want to. Just be happy they thought yours was nice enough to use.

Even if they found it in the public domain, watermarking it with their logo is shady.

 

Agreed on that

 

Guys this is a first I am hearing of this issue. I handle all the incoming E-mails and I do not recall ever getting an Email to remove this picture, if that was the case I would gladly have taken it off the website.

Powerman5115, if you would like me to remove the picture from the website please contact me at Nick@customenterprise.com or you could always try calling us or PM'ing me or even our live chat service. We have provided a lot of different ways to get in touch with us, please use them before bashing. Thanks
Nick

 

So it's his fault his picture was used without permission? I would have atleast expected an apology.

 

so true...

 

 

They did that to me too

 

Life will go on..

 

not the first time i have heard of this since i signed up here.

 

Who cares? It looks stock......

Is the bottom car Shurik's?

 

LOL omg oh no they used my pictures wehh wehh wehhh lol. What you got some kind of secret foglights, lol

 

why does it matter?

 

Haha the funny part is that shuriks car doesn't have OEM nissan fog lights. False advertising! FTL

 

lol....you dont own your cars image so stop the *****ing..

 

SuperStreet tried to steal one of my photos and I wrote them a threatening email.

 

How do you figure?

 

It's an agreement when you host them online, your forfeit all rights

 

...Wow, you seriously need a life.

If your biggest concern in a day is your stock fog lights being used without your permission, your deffinetly not busy enough.

Besides, this is the most attention your BONE stock car will ever see...

I'm sorry, it makes me mad to see someone bashing one of the few companies that actually provide parts for our cars that arn't "universal."

 

Yeah I'm not buying anything else from them they steal peoples pictures they find online.

I hope they steal my picture so everybody can see my car.

 

Im boycotting....

 

wow one of the most worstless thread I have ever seen. hey CE if you want to use mine go right on ahead. I would be proud to have my car on some website besides cardomain.

 

that is so completely and utterly wrong that it is not even funny. Just because its easier online doesnt forfeit your rights in anyway shape or form. One of my clients found someone on myspace using images of himself (client) and his family (kids, wife, etc) in his profile. He used a variation of my clients name and claimed this as his life. My company filed charges on behalf of the client and ourselves for multiple violations of law and copyrights. The client is also pressing idenity theft charges.

Obviously thats all the details of the case i am willing to discuss, but my point has been made. If they want to use your car great but you should have been consulted at the very least.

 

LOL! Creating a fake myspace page is FAR from identity theft. If it were as serious as you say, wouldn't you think all the celebrities out there w/ fake myspace pages would try to sue the creators? Get a life... what kind of business do you actually run, you're 21

 

The myspace account was the tip of an iceberg for the particular situation, he has a very strong IT case. My involvement in the case, without going into detail (and hijacking a thread where i merely made a point) is that in which the content, details, etc that were used in the IT case were illegally obtained from the client via the internet. The files were hosted on two of my servers.

Yes, im 21. I have a very good life. I started running my own private hosting company for select clients when i was 18 as a reseller. I moved up from there and i now own 12 servers based out of a datacenter in Orlando FL where i rent physical space. It does pretty well but almost all profit is invested in different areas as i build towards things for later in life. For example i own a few rental properties as well as some land out near my grandparents in IL that is rented for several things. For now i have managed to step back from the majority of the company aspects, and i keep my regular job and still plan to persue a career in law enforcement. I will most likely accept my partners buy out offer on the company within the next two years and bank the profits for later in life. I'm not rich nor will i be, but my goals hav always been comfort.

Not that i feel i need to justify my statements to you, or anyone else for that matter, but you asked.

 

LOL why isnt this closed yet lol

 

Scubasteve, your obviously no lawyer, i will tell you, and everyone here as an experienced photographer that what CE did is in no way illegal. Unless you file for a copyright on your photos they can be taken and used. Case closed. I have been there and tried to argue it. Now i copyright all photos i put online. As for your client, he has no legal right to collect on the charges relating to the Myspace issue. Now all you shutup, cuz you just got the only right answer, from the only person here that actually knows anything, me, a photographer who deals with this stuff all the time...

 

cant argue with the "im the only one who is right because law can only be viewed the way that i read it" logic. Look i am not going to argue with you, but my lawyer is tried and true for myself and friends for over 10 years and he hasnt lost one yet. So if he tells me its illegal and we have rights then hate to tell you buddy but im taking his word over yours.

 

ANYTHING posted online BECOMES PUBLIC DOMAIN.

 

No matter if it is legal or not... It is crappy business. Most people would not care, they just want the decency to ASK THEM!

I was pissed when Jinsu used pics I took to sell the KSport coilovers on here and Ebay. I was to lazy to do anything about it, but I still would have liked to have been asked. He should have had his own pics anyway (he did not even know what they looked like ), I posted them on the ORG because I was the first one to get KSports on here.

Plain and simple, it is rude...

 

True it is rude, and thats something no one can really argue. Every owner of a picture has the right to be notified before it is used. But my post was stating that legally it was not wrong. Like other people said, i would kind of be happy my car is on a popular website.

 

lol...no

It kind of depends, you dont need to file a for a formal copyright, if it is hosted through imageshack or other free hosting company, it is actually theirs, because its posted on their domain. You do forfeit your rights, but to imageshack, not to the free world. If you own your own webspace and have it hosted there, it is technically yours and has an implied copyright. They see it the same way as if you have some photos on your wall, people cant come into your house and jack them. Bottom line is CE shouldnt have used your photo without your permission, however since it probably wasnt hosted on your personal webspace, theres not a damn thing you can do about it so why waste the time.

 

Dude who cares. It is a stock 4th gen. What says he didn't jack the pic for his cardomain. If I wa him i wuld be proud. Some people pour boat loads on money into and car and all he had to do was has foglights as a option. This is stupid.

 

 

Agreed. It seems like everyone on this forum seems to want to jump on some hate band wagon. Noone that has had their pics stolen before have said anything. All of a sudden you all are complaing. Get a life. Get in your Maxima and pick up some PU$$Y. Stop masturbating your keyboards. Seriously, you should feel flattered that a company would use a picture of your car for their sales page. Stop Bi7ching. I think this thread needs to be locked!!

 

Wow,

Of everything said here, I think I am going to side with 'atifsays', merely because of his maturity and intellectual depth! He definately uses words to his benefit!

Grow up!

 

It's a guy complaining about a company using a picture of his pretty much stock car. Where is the need to use intellect here? Please though, if you can inform me where I should place some intellect in this conversation I just might. Statements like yours are pointless and have no bearing on this whole thread. Do you really think that there is any need in posting in the vendor experience when the only experience that you have had is that the company liked your car so much to use it for an example as one of their product. Is that all what people seem to want to do in this site, is b*tch. I swear man. Some people just need to chill out and pull that long wide stick out of their a$$.
