Title: Re: [Aroid-l] people on eBay using photos without permission
For me, no objection.  If you think I'm right or wrong, go ahead.  But some websites do object.  I received a very nasty letter from a lawyer for a "garden" website a few months ago demanding I take a link to his client's website down.  I posted the link because the information they gave was incorrect and I had attempted to explain why.  But they did not like being told they were wrong!  So it may be a good idea to ask permission, just in case.  And I promise you, just about everyone on this board has been to that website at one time or another!

I think we all agree that using someone?s photos is wrong and most likely illegal, even if legal proceedings are impractical.

However, what if someone merely posts a link to your site, as in: ?A photo of this plant may be found at http://www.basilsplantpage.com?
What if the site is a commercial with an on-ling catalog?

I have never done this, but have wondered if it would be viewed the same as simply taking a photo and publishing it without permission
or attribution.
