I was browsing through evil bay and noticed someone has a soft top for sale with a picture of my beloved FL1 in the listing...........

Soft Top For Freelander | eBay

Obviously downloaded from LZ, is there no protection on anything anymore?!

I'm amazed that people sell stuff on ebay using someone else's photos, or no photos at all. I'm even more amazed that people buy them.

It does state in the listing that the one being sold is not the one in the photo

im sure I read that if you post a photo on the web without adding some kind of image rights logo over the photo then you give up any ownership of that photo, could be wrong though.

Noticed that listing (came up on an alert), thing is if they can't be bothered to take a photo how does a buyer know the condition? Wouldn't buy it based on that alone.

I have stopped selling on evil bay, their policies suck.

If someone does buy, they'll be entitled to a refund under the 'item not as described' rule

Those windows in my pic were immaculate, have yet to see another sift top in such good order.

True, but does the pic not actually belong to Landy Zone, been a long time since I read the Terms and Conditions of LZ

It does seem a bit of a half hearted effort?

If it bothers you, report them to ebay.

cant see the problem - cant identify your vehicle and states "pic from internet - not the one for sale". anything posted on the interweb is, correctly or not, fair game if not copyrighted.

Glad this is resolved. In fact any picture has an owner and it is not legally a free for all on the internet. However, galleries like Google Picasa say in their small print that any gallery pictures posted can be used by them for publicity pruposes (it is the terms and conditions box that everyone ticks but doesn't read!). I am a semi pro photographer and moved from Picasa for this reason out of fear of picture theft.

Thanks for the info,

the only place I have uploaded pics of my FL1 is to Landy Zone.

I don't use photo bucket, cloud software or other 'communal galleries', even stay well away from Facebook (due to the whole content right of ownership and the targetted marketing algorithms!)
