  1. <p>Thank you Seth. I agree, the link you posted indicates that Facebook don't take the copyright infringement and photographers rights particularly seriously. (" If the photo is removed, you will not receive an email confirmation, but you will no longer see it on Facebook. If we take no action, you will receive no follow-up email.")<br>

    Bizarrely the image in question has been used to reinforce an argument between Facebook account holders discussing an international, high profile copryright infringement issue - Lucasfilm v Ainsworth and discusses the ability of UK courts to enforce US judgements.<br>

    For that reason alone I am inclined to take the matter further as the image use indicates an amount of hypocrisy by the poster. I think a phonecall to solicitors tomorrow morning may be on the cards. Thanks all again. </p>

     

  2. <p>Thanks again for the replies. UK issue. I am not unfamiliar with copyright infringements - I am sure we have all had the issue at one time or another in our long professional lives. I am just unfamiliar with online thefts and in particular with social interactive websites. The image in question is, indeed fully copyright protected so I will probably refer it to copyright solicitors but welcomed the experiences of colleagues. </p>
