They’re at it again…
Building Design are at it again! Using my imagery without permission! So on last Friday the issue of BD hit my desk where I find there is a full page use of one of my site images of the Ashmolean Museum taken shortly before it opened to the public last October. Great I thought and nice to be published again.
They were provided this image in a press pack last year for FREE and have obviously kept it on their server for later use. Unfortunately the license was clear that a credit must always be provided. BD don’t seem to care about this bit. The copyright information is also clearly embedded in the IPTC metadata of the file.
So I’m going to send them an invoice for each time they use images against the terms of the license. It’s not as if it’s the first time it’s happened with images at BD? If they keep using this image uncredited in the rest of their marketing material for this event I should be in for quite a windfall.
