There seems to be a lot of wrongful usage of the images we post of our vehicles. One good example is this...
I was browsing eBay for M3 parts & accessories and randomly came across this link. It's from an eBay seller that claims to sell carbon fiber trunk lid spoilers. Funny think is that Azurite Black Metallic M3 in the pic does not have a carbon trunk spoiler on it. In fact, the M3 in the picture is from a post by Samb95 that can be viewed here.
I just want everyone to be aware that the images you post may be used by others in an unlawful way. Be diligent in your posts and take the extra measure to remove/block out your license plate number too. Watermarks do help, but as you can see in this scenario the image was cropped to remove the watermark.
Oh, and Samb95 thank you for sharing images of your ride. I absolutely love the combo and stared/scrolled your thread for countless hours, debating between Azurite Black Metallic or Laguna Seca Blue.
I've attached images below for reference. |
Thanks for the reminder!
This happens all of the time from unscrupulous sellers.
The license plate issue is my biggest worry. I appreciate people loving to photograph our vehicles but the license plate thing worries me to no end. If I am around, I actually ask people not to photograph the rear of the car. My next step is to get/make an easily attachable cover and put it on when I park.
