Costa Blanca Spain...

We've just found one of our pics being used by a French dating website.

We've contacted them and told them to remove it, but what can we do if they don't?

OK on the upside at least someone thinks that the pic can pass for someone who is (allegedly) 44

The dating site may not be aware that your image has been copied, it's possibly been stolen by a scammer, so contact the website first. On the other hand, a lot of dating websites build fake profiles so they look like a popular site.

If they don't take down the pic (and they should really kill the entire fake profile), then find the ISP of the dating site, for example, by using whois.

Then file a takedown notice for copyright infringement with the ISP.

That's what we did. We'd never heard of this google reverse search thingy until it was mentioned in another thread (now closed)

So we searched some of our pics and while most were OK one came up as being used somewhere else.

Should anyone be in doubt we not only have the original (un-cropped) version, but also all the others taken on the same day.

Over the next few days we will remove and re-post our pics but only after adding a watermark.

The perils of posting photos on the Web

As the others have said contact the ISP if you can, but I wouldn't hold out much hope

Just see it as a form of flattery

It shows though that people place too much inportance on google search, as yours are genuine on here and nicked to put on another site. Sometimes it isn't as black and white as people think.

Hopefully once you had reported it and provided proof the pics are yours the site will remove them for you.

actually, you don't need to provide proof. You just need to file the notice and assert the copyright violation - there's a standard wording for doing it. You may have to provide a URL pointing to the original image. The ISP should take down the infringing copy automatically.

Isn't providing the url to the original pic providing proof? Otherwise anyone could file a "copyright violation"

no, it isn't proof, because of course it could be you that has stolen the image, and you are falsely reporting the genuine owner. The ISP is not in a position to investigate. That's why the Digital Millennium Copyright act obliges an ISP to act regardless of whom submits the complaint. The downside is that the infringer can retort, claiming ownership, in which case the ISP has to put it back up, and then the parties have to litigate. The ISP is obliged to take down content upon receiving a report, and they are obliged to put it back up if the other side file an objection.

There is no legal requirement that they be given proof by anybody.

Of course, if you file a false complaint, the genuine owner can sue you. And because people do file false complaints, the law requires an ISP to put back content if they took it down.

In this case naughty French Regine may object, but I doubt it, as Regine is most likely a big hairy bloke collecting money from victims via Western Union.

All sounds too contradictory to me but I am sure you know best.

Either way, in laymans terms, she can report it and wait to hear back

This is why a little common sense is needed when reverse image searching.

Watermarking your pics so they can't be nicked is a great idea. It would be better if the fab watermark ran across the middle of the pic rather than along the bottom where it can be easily cropped out.

er, actually, ahem, I do know best

but that's only because I am always issuing takedown notices against people who violate my company's copyright.

My advice however is to approach the website itself first - dating websites can be victims too, and a reputable one puts a lot of effort into getting rid of fake profiles.

The other reason the website should be approached first, and not the ISP, is because, as part of the takedown process, you have to supply your name, address, etc, and the ISP may supply this info to the Chilling Effects database, so the whole world can see what image was being complained about and by whom. The OP may not want this to happen.

I think thats what I said .....

Although some of it did sound contradictory but as I know bugger all on copyright laws I am taking your word for it.

As some will have already noticed we have started to change or pics to new watermarked ones. We've reached our quota for today so will finish the job tomorrow. The sharp eyed ones among you will notice that what was our old profile pic has been replaced by a slightly different one taken the same day.

We would advise everyone to do the same.
