Hi guys,
I have a question concerning a client's website who doesn't protect images!
I have a client who own a talent agency. The talents pays a fee to the agency and it includes a quick photoshoot, but the talent doesn't have any images for his own. If they wants images from the shoot they have to buy it from me (the photographer).
I charge my client(the owner) per hour and it includes 3 images(600x900px) per talent.
She use those 3 images to send to casting directors. She bought the images and the photoshoot...i'm ok with that. The problem is.. Since a few years, almost no one buying extras images from the shoot because i found out that some of the talents right click on the images and do a SAVE IMAGE AS.. and get the images for free!! Her site doesn't protect the images, so her talents steal my images!!
I met my client last week and explained the problem because we were supposed to do another photoshoot soon. She refused to pay a script to block the images. When they do a save image as they have the exact 600x900px.
From my point of view, it's a negligence from her side.
Is there anything that i can do with that with the law?
I probably lost a few thousand bucks because of that!
Any input will be welcome!
Thank you, and sorry english is not my first language!
