You seem to be forgetting something rather important.
I'm not here you make you feel warm and fuzzy.
That's us told.

Sometimes competition small print means the company can do what they like with your image and you may (or may not) lose some rights. Pixsy for example are wary of a case if it’s a competition entry or winner.Competition win or not (and it was a throwaway comment not really relevant to the point I was making) there comes a point where it’s simply not worth the effort, as unfortunate as that is. I spent many, many hours putting together the eBay case and it came to nothing, even if I had won that particular case another seller had the image for sale on canvas a few weeks later, then another, then another. I’d be trying to put a plaster on the Titanic.
Time with my family is way, way more important than what was an entirely fruitless exercise.
But, you didn't provide an accurate answer to the post. Your original post was confusing. Rather than explaining what you did, you referred to an obscure term (uplift) and said that anyone who didn't know this was ignorant. That doesn't explain anything - it just insults people.
The real issue with your original post was the use of 'x2' to mean 'add'. You still have not explained why the use 'x2' should have been understood. Just accept that your use of 'x2' was a poor choice and let's move on
And lastly, as a member of this community, you do have an obligation to be polite and support the community and its members. Being short and rude and blunt does not advance the community but excludes people. In your post that generate this set of responses, you seem to out of your way to insult people. It wasn't just a terse answer but one that deliberately as a put down. That is out of bounds.

I use Pixsy a lot but the cases they win are getting fewer and further between. Basically if someone ignores them they don’t chase them...

No problem. I won't bother answering next time.
Good luck finding someone with equivalent legal knowledge on here.
FWIW, after I posted such a link to the page in post #28 ............. various others have posted this and I surmise @robinsslee Robin has had a look???
..... the original photo itself has been flipped 180 degree and slight colour adjustment to it.
getting super legalistic won't help the situation.
Polite first...Legal second.Why not?
exactlyPolite first...Legal second.

I would just pick up the phone - record the unauthorised use and talk to them to work it out Ask what their budget is to pay for the usage but getting super legalistic won't help the situation.
Fair point. I was speaking more generally.I disagree ... in this instance the use of the image is so flagrant (even manipulated in use) that 'legal' should be the way to proceed.
By 'legal' I mean pursuing the matter with a demand for payment (as outlined by Demilion) for both use and misuse of the image ... any large organization should know that the actions taken are wrong.
