What Would YOU Do - Stealing Your Dog's Pic???

[frogdog]

To my surprise this morning...I noticed where a member of one of the French Bulldog groups I belong on Facebook has taken my profile pic of Yogi and made it her own. I, personally, thought this was rude especially without asking. I mean she blantaly stole my doggies picture! Should this be a compliment or wrong???

On a side note, I do not know this lady and we have never conversed.

Her profile: https://www.facebook.com/#!/lucille.robertson1

Opinions or thoughts, please....

Well maybe she's already been found out! When I clicked on your link, the picture came right up!
Very Cute btw!!
Her link said the page was unavailable...??

I wouldn't be thrilled.. I'd send her a message asking her to remove it and go from there. This is one reason why I've considered adding copyrights to all of my pictures.. god that'd take forever!

Thank You! Ummm, link works for me and profile pic is still there.

I was going to send her a message but her profile doesn't have the message tab available. This is the second time this has happened with pics of him. I would never even think of utilizing someone else's pic and especially if I didn't know them.

Links work for me. Cute pic! But wrong that she's using it.

I would try adding her as a friend, so then even if she declines, she will know that you know about her and her profile pic, and she may change it. If she accepts your friend request, you can talk to her about it (or can you talk to her on the french bulldog site?)

It doesn't work for me ether. But that is very strange why would someone do that. I would not like that. One more reason I don't want to be on facebook. But I guess it is a compliment.

Thanks Hayley! So funny, I just did that...sent her a friend request. I'm a laid back person and not much gets under my skin at all but this just rubbed me the wrong way.

I thought about saying something on the group page but didn't want to start something in the open when it's just regarding the two of us. I still may just ask why she is using my dogs pic if she does not accpet my friend request. Not COOL!

I thought it was strange too. I guess, it is a compliment but not right in my opinion...make a comment on the pic but not use it for yourself.

When I was selling on ebay, you could check and see if they had downloaded the photo to their own server, of if they were connecting directly to yours. If they were connecting to yours, you could change the photo to say something about the person using the photo being a thief. It was pretty funny, really.

I guess you couldn't do that with an avatar, though - they are most likely putting it into their own account.

People do stuff like this all the time. i never understood why. I wouldn't want to show someone else's dog under my name - it would be like saying my dog wasn't good enough to show a photo.

I would be pissed beyond pisstivity!!

i would take it as an annoying compliment and i would
contact them through a pm. i would thank them for
liking my dog so much but i would tell them i want the pics
removed. if that didn't work i would contact a Mod.
