wildblue 7 #29 November 9, 2004 QuoteThat's cool. A good way to keep people from hosting your images on their webpage. There is probably a pretty simple script or methode to do that. ---------------- It's easy... you have the picture, they're just linking to it. Replace it with a picture with same name. A funny series of something similar hereit's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dsbbreck 0 #31 November 9, 2004 It's me......... I have since pulled the photo. But you have all seen it. I got annoyed because he stole the whole ad. If he had just borrowed a picture I wouldn't have minded. Hell, I stole the photo from someone else. But he copy and pasted my whole ad. I just figured he needed to accept the consiquences of copying a link to my photos. Does anyone feel I went to far?

flyangel2 2 #33 November 9, 2004 I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to computers and how E-Bay works. Are you saying that was your ad and some one placed that picture on there? Or, you set up that ad and stole it from someone else. I'm not questioning what you did, I'm just trying to figure out how this whole thing works Can you please break it down for me?May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

dsbbreck 0 #35 November 9, 2004 I have an ad on e-bay selling altimeters. He decided to do the same thing. He copied and pasted my entire ad to use in his ad and then just took out the stuff he didn't want in it. My ad is HTML with links to the photos on my web server. He didn't copy the photos, just copied the links. So I put a new photo up on my server with the same name so that the new photo came up in his ad. I didn't do anything to his ad, I just changed MY photo. Here is my ad on e-bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7113177784&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:ITDavid "Socrates wasn't killed because he had the answer.......he was killed because he asked the question."

I've had people copy photos of my old ads, but never copy my whole current ad, (that I know about). So here is my suggestion: Replace that photo with an image explaining the ad is a ripoff of yours, and give them the eBay item # of your ad. BTW: Got any more of those photos?
