	I recently stumbled upon a french explorer's post on Facebook, warning other explorers about a new book that is currently selling on Amazon. Apparently, the author of the book used other explorer's pictures without their consent (nothing new under the sun), but at least was kind enough to give credit to the photographers. I strongly doubt they'll receive any royalties, though. Please take a moment to review the screenshot above, maybe your name or the name of a fellow explorer you know is on the credit list? In this case, I suggest you take the proper steps to get justice in any way you can.

	Lol, giving credit means nothing unless the publisher had written permission from the shooters. It does make it easier to when they catalog their infringements [last edit 11/27/2019 9:57 PM by blackhawk - edited 1 times]
	Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

	I graciously allow others to use my photos with credit given, no wait, better not do that Ciano boy (rhymes with ciabatta boy) threatened to dox my real identity if I kept being an old meanie! At any rate my Legionnaire attorney is board certified in France, ...and Egypt, and Sudan, the Belgian Congo and maybe Micronesia.

	Sure enough, my photo is on page 46. Even though it is a Creative Commons licensed photo, it's specifically marked as not for commercial use. So I submitted a copyright claim on the Amazon English page via: https://www.amazon...eport/infringement [last edit 12/1/2019 5:59 PM by kenfagerdotcom - edited 1 times]

	The book appears to have been taken down from Amazon. Thanks again for posting this. It was worth spending $5, because now all the other artists' works cannot be further exploited.

Glad for you it was spotted

That's one lame poser...
