My anger was not in envy, FTG. Several travel blogs lifted photos from my trip reports right here on FlyerTalk, which is unauthorized under the Creative Commons No Commercial use and No Derivative Use (NCCUNDU) license that protects them and ensures my proprietary rights.

As I said before, I sent cease and desist letters to these bloggers ordering them to take them down immediately or face legal action. I now also use reverse image search technology to discover if any other bloggers are trying to steal my photos.

And no, I'm not going to say which blogs stole them but let's just say that they were some of the prominent, clearly - commercial ones that may or may not have been mentioned previously in this topic.

Any blogger who uses MY trip report pictures for their own "opportunity" will be viciously gone after by me. I will not tolerate their theft.
