Do you own one?

**ChiefRocka** · 03-25-2011, 06:45 PM

I had one a while back, but I wore the s#it out of it !!

rcrahn · 03-25-2011, 06:48 PM

I think that Steve the "repo" man wears one......

**ChiefRocka** · 03-25-2011, 07:05 PM

Well hello there Mr. Rahn .... that was funny !!

*blackedoutharley* · 03-25-2011, 07:27 PM

Send him an email asking for you "cut" from the sales... I mean he is claiming it is from his own original photograph.

Good point !

Your Truck will be FAMOUS!!!!!!

61_FL_Apache · 03-25-2011, 09:05 PM

Say didnt you see the copyright on that picture? Then he might hand over your cut.

**aerotruk63** · 03-26-2011, 11:49 AM

Actually went through a similar situation with a siding material company that I purchased the products from. They wanted to put pictures of the house in their new brochure. I consulted with a professional photographer and he explained that anyone can take a picture as long as the topic of the picture is not being used because of the artistic value of the subject matter. Once the artistic value has been determined, the subject artist has the right to profits of the photo or to sign a waiver allowing the photographer to profit by it. When I asked for some compensation for my client who paid me to design and install the siding panels, the supplier tried to convince us that this would be a compliment to what we had done and that they could do anything they wanted. After checking with their lawyers they dropped it all together.

My brother had someone paint my truck on a shirt but not making money on it.

VA72C10 · 03-26-2011, 03:35 PM

I don't like how he said

Quote:

From my original photography

When you sent him the picture.

It's a compliment that he's making money selling shirts with your truck on it....but wrong because he's lying about the picture....

***Liz*** · 03-26-2011, 03:50 PM

I would email him nicely. Just say thanks for the compliment of using my truck. That however was MY picture and unless I signed a release for the copyrights, you are not the owner of that photo. Please send all profits to me or blah blah..

Thing is, if you did sign anything for him to do the work.. you may have signed the right for him to use the picture as he sees fit.

I know this was not the intent of your thread, but copyright infringement irks me badly.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 03-26-2011, 05:19 PM

He has only sold one so far.

RollinKaos · 03-26-2011, 07:41 PM

Chief, Love your old truck!

kojac · 03-27-2011, 09:35 AM

I own a shirt shop and a printing business. what he is doing if that is your pic is wrong. even if he has just sold a few shirts you should call him on it.

Mabey I will .... I'm not the kind of person that usually goes that route (even though Californians are known to be 'go for the throat' sue happy people)

**Chevy Fleetside** · 03-27-2011, 10:36 AM

I think if you just let him know he shouldn't do that kind of stuff. You don't have to sue him at all.

Just send him a copy of this post....LOL

mikie 1954 · 03-28-2011, 02:12 PM

Are you sure that's your picture? Maybe he contacted the new owner & took his own picture with new owners permission? If it is your picture , let him know he is wrong and maybe you can us all one hell of a discount. ps always liked your truck!

"Send" is to mean that Chief should "Send" a copy.

"Sent" would mean that he has already "Sent" a copy.
