Most liked posts in thread: My MINI is being used in an ad without my permission

A letter from your attorney would probably cause the laughter to come to a choking halt...

Also, if they don't have the photog's permission, there is a whole other can of worms, especially since they are using the image for commercial purposes.

Juss sayin'!

 

I'll go and post something nice over on the sewing site. :devil:

 

I also added some comments and added the tag line.

I am just sayin........:aureola:

 

Did it get taken down? All I see is pictures of parts on the ad, no car pics, and it appears the first pic is missing now....

 

No, this is what happens when you try to contact the management:

That was last year and it still hasn't been updated!

 

Yup it was just pulled today after a few of us from MA posted. LMAO

 

It used to look like this.........


So, the seller 'steals' a pic of somebody else's car, then the ad goes on to say that he can only accept cashier's check and the like, no PayPal. If that aint a red flag.....

 

Scittinbend found a tunershop in Ct. using a picture of Kelli's MINI to advertise their MINI service and products. I emailed them and asked what kind of sponsorship package they had for using her car to promote their site. He told me none and so I asked him to remove it since he was a business using our image to sell his products. At first they basically said "yeah, so what." I told him that we didn't have a lawyer, but her car was well known and that I would post what he did on all of the MINI sites about how he refused to cooperate and then he could deal with how that would affect his small business. He removed it and apoligized so all was well.

 

A well known, respected and established MINI vendor (also an MA sponser, btw) lifted my pic of my JCW steering wheel from NAM and used it in their web product catalog. There was some garage stuff in the background and they blurred it out :lol:. I didn't know about it until someone posted a question about the JCW steering wheel and linked to the photo. I posted my surprise that it was my picture. It was soon quietly removed from the vendor's website and I was never contacted.

 

Glad that got resolved, you bunch of renegades

How does that work anyway, is a photo posted on the web without a disclaimer not considered public domain?

You guy's remind me of an article I read about.......

Two British traffic patrol officers from North Berwick were involved in an unusual incident while checking for speeding motorists on the A1 Great North Road. One of the officers used a hand-held radar device to check the speed of a vehicle approaching over the crest of a hill, and was surprised when the speed was recorded at over 300 mph. Their radar suddenly stopped working and the officers were not able to reset it.

Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact latched on to a NATO Tornado fighter jet which was engaged in a low-flying exercise over the Border district, approaching from the North Sea.

Back at police headquarters the chief constable fired off a stiff complaint to the RAF Liaison office.

Back came the reply in true laconic RAF style:


"Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file on this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Tornado had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked onto, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it.
Furthermore, an air-to-ground missile aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also automatically locked onto your equipment. Fortunately the pilot flying the Tornado recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile systems alert status, and was able to override the automated defence system before the missile was launched and your hostile radar installation was destroyed.

Good Day..."


Gee-sh, this should have been posted in "Top Speed In A MINI", can you move it Nathan?

 

I was going to put this in the Marketplace, but then remembering all the confusion that occurred the last time I did something like this, I'd figure it'd be safer to put it here:

FOR SALE: Whore-izon spring booster

Almost new, barely functional sprint booster. Asking $400.00 (paid $350.), firm. Pictures below:

 

How do I get that Tornado doohickey into a Mini? I want one.

 

My ex had a picture of his truck used in an ad and it didnt even have their products on it.. we emiled them, and they gave him free stuff... so it was all good after that

 

Would you happen to have 2 for sale?

 

Probably not, but I'm sure if you send them the money, you may:rolleyes5:, or may not:yesnod:, get one shipped to you.

Actually, I do have two highly used and heavily malfunctioning unit for sale: the special offer still applies (One for $400, or two for $900).



I was kinda thinking, with the recent frenzy over the "Rick Rolling" on NAM, maybe we should start a new fad: "Nate Rolling," where we put pictures of Nate's car without his permission on as many websites as possible. Person with most posts of Nate's car wins like a free grill badge or something (at Nate's expense, of course). Posts of Nate's car on NAM count double.

 

Me too, please.
