i'm so angry. The people refuse to remove the pics because SOMEONE sent them claiming that it was their car. WTF man?
MATT from streetstyler refuses to reply back to my email. I even provided links to my ride ak.7thgencivic.com and on the bottom it says Copyrighted by some company.
Moving to Legal questions...

o, ****, im sorry, man i mistook iamboo's car for yours. take additional pictures of yourself with YOUR car and sned it to them, if they dont reply, tell them that legal action will take place to remove those pics. also, ask for the e-mail of the guy who sent them the pics, or at least that he send pics with him and "his" car to furnish proof that it is his.

Rep Power: 292 Copywrite law
EFF

Somebody infringed my copyright. What can I do?
A party may seek to protect his or her copyrights against unauthorized use by filing a civil lawsuit in federal district court. If you believe that your copyright has been infringed, consult an attorney. In cases of willful infringement for profit, the U.S. Attorney may initiate a criminal investigation.
Could I be sued for using somebody else's work? How about quotes or samples?
If you use a copyrighted work without authorization, the owner may be entitled to bring an infringement action against you. There are circumstances under the fair use doctrine where a quote or a sample may be used without permission. However, in cases of doubt, the Copyright Office recommends that permission be obtained.
Get the U.S. government on your side! 30 bucks!

Thanks sooooo much. I'll be reading the links in great detail tonight. My last resort will be to copyright the pictures, does anyone have any clue how to do this? I've never done it.

Rep Power: 0 Alex, I'm so sorry for this is wrong what they have been doing to you! What is the latest update please? I would love to sticky a link in here where everyone in here could send them a direct yet professional e-mail about their wrong doings and lack of care about it. I know you are giving them the benfit of the doubt now, but, after all you did with them recently and they are still playing games, I would like your permission to do this. It is the absolute least we can do if need be. Excellent ideas and help from you all btw!
