Somebody's pinched my pictures!

Quick update from Flickr site staff...

For now, you'd have to remove your images from the group in question to remove your photos from their demo, although we agree that they are not doing it right. We're actually working with this company to get them to change how/where they pull photos for their demo.

However I don't put full size pics up I limit them to about 1100x800px or so.

That's big enough to use for a multitude of uses - if you value your work - don't let others steal it. Using Flickr is a recipe for disaster in that area!
 
As a final word, I have to say that I'm impressed with the way Flickr site staff have addressed my issues very quickly.

I received this tonight...

Hello Janet,

I just wanted to let you know that the developers of that slideshow have changed it so that it no longer pulls All Rights Reserved images.

Thanks for reporting it to us; we appreciate the head's up

Well done to them for sorting it so quickly. I know Flickr isn't for everyone, but it suits me and the way I choose to share my pics with friends and family.

Glad it got sorted for you Janet. Having read the topic I ended up changing a few of my settings on Flickr. I always had my flickr to allow no one to download them but have now changed the API settings.
 
The same s***t happened to me around a year ago, so I did what Arkady suggests in his post.
The images were removed within a few days.
The mention of money soon sends them running.
 
A friend recommended a website to me which does a reverse check on your images, can also be added as a Firefox add-in. www.tineye.com

Hope this helps someone! Has given me piece of mind before
