I have seen a few post about this in the past and was always wondering how people discover their stolen photos.
I was going to post a photo of my favorite pony (cutesaurus) in a thread and since I post most of my pony photos on my blogs, and didn't know wich one it was, I thought it would be faster just to google it since there is not that many cutesaurus.
So I googled it and on the fourth row I saw one of my photos. So I clicked on it and came to.... Etsy? Say what?
At first I was wondering if it really was one or if someone had taken a similar one. But no. 3 out of 4 photos were mine....
They sold the cutesaurus one month after I posted my photos on my blog.
So what do I want with this post? I dont know, it just feels reallt weird. I'm not mad or anything (wich is why i didn't post it in the WYP)
I just dont get how they cant take my photos and post in a sale site. And since they had one more photo I'm guessing that they CAN take photos, if they didn't steel that one too.
(And yes I knoe that the photos dosen't belong to my, it belongs to the blogsite since I posted it one their server or something like that)

Yeah.... those are definitely the EXACT same photos. It's really shameful thing they did... for the sake of the buyer, I hope the Cutesaurus was actually in that condition. If you can, find the buyer and tell them about the fraudulent pictures; you never know, they may be getting crap, and will want to press charges.

Don't feel bad, I found a photo on My Little Brony that was a photo I took for the arena here..
I also love to take photos and I've found some people use them as their profile pics on various sites.. It bothers me somewhat but I figured I'd be nice and share.. but I do make it known that they were my photos! lol

Oh wow, I'd be so annoyed if I was the buyer! They could be getting nothing.... I hope that's not the case!
I'm sorry you have both had photos stolen. Not good. :(

I think that i wouldnt be as botherd by it if it werent on a sale site as i feel that they are tricking people. Especailly when my pony is so mint.
