Just has a Google alert of my company name appearing on a web site. Turns out it is a picture within a Powerpoint presentation placed onine and the link is the fact they have snatched a picture from my site to put into their presentation but the picture retains the source link back to our web site.

You would have thought they would at least have saved it and changed the file name so the source couldn't be seen!

So, Ok to sntach other people's images or should you stump up for a photo library web site (probably not the best place to ask given the Numbers game thread running!) or ask permission?

Rename that picture to something different, and stick up a new, but NSFW picture on your webspace with the same filename as the first picture.

ETA ^^^ that. I'm a slow typer.

I have heard tales of people replacing their original picture on the website with a new version (so a new link but your website appears to be unchanged to the casual observer) and repointing the old link to something less than tasteful... not very efficient, but potentially entertaining smile

I was thinking more of that weightlifter with his broken arris. Not thinking about it too much, mind.

Then screen dump the image and post it to failblog - captured for posterity.
