I just saw one of their chat line ads and it used a pic of mine which I've never given or sold to anyone to use !!!

I recognised it as it was the first model I ever shot back in 2001 !!!

If you don't want to post a number here, please email me at webmaster at sahara gets dirty dot com not the one on my profile as its's playing up..

Thanks

I can't believe no one here had the phone number !!... But I got it and I have to pay Ben Peel and Fleur Hicks a compliment.

I told Ben about the problem and 5 mins later Fleur called me back with all the details... Now I have to go through the chain of the company who sold the advertising space to the producer of the ad and then to the company who own the chat line to send them an invoice for the pic being used for two weeks and I don't know yet how many times...

So thanks Ben and Fleur

Joe,
Call me, I've lost your number but have what you need.

Only just seen the post, but you got through to the right guy in Ben, always helpful

Thanks for the offer Marcus.. My old land line number is only for outgoing calls now.. I stopped incoming a few months ago... I'll call you later and give you my new totally ex directory number that only friends have

Thanks Ecucamman as well...


The latest news is that the ad has to be aired tonight and tomorrow, but has been pulled from Saturday It's the chain of people to get to the thief that's the real pain in the butt ... Any ideas what I should charge them for each time the ad was aired.. LOL

If you watch TVX tonight it might be on around 12.15 am and is for "Asian Babes" chat lines... It's the Indian model in red pvc

1998 Design and copyrights act.
Unauthorised publication or copying of photographs is unlawful, and could be a criminal offence.

Think up a figure and times it by 10.

Is that the DMCA you're talking about ? If so I'm a wiz at that, even if I say so myself.... LOL. I've had this on line to help others since 2001:

If you do mean this, I thought that it's only for theft and internet publication... hmmmm

Joe,

The DMCA is Digital only as the name suggests

BUT i think James meant Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 but got the year wrong

Its also worth looking

for the 2003 ammendments, i also think there are som 2005 amends with more regard to the disabled acessability rights act and converting information

^^THIS WILL BE USED BY SOMEONE TO CONVERT A FLASH SITE TO HTML SOON ^^

I quoted the act to a television company that used images belonging to me without my permission.
They paid up.

Yes, I did get the year wrong, sorry about that.
