Sorry Dev' but all are simply relevant shots of stuff we like around here and yes saved and sourced randomly online...I don't think any came directly from your site so totally unintentional if so.
If important to you, best may be tag your pics w/ a watermark that shows were they originated otherwise and like anything on the web, they get passed around without credit exactly as has happened here?
Thanks for speaking up though also kudos and credit to you for the pics that are yours also thanks in advance for any others that may inevitably appear in this or other threads here.

Someone conveniently removed my watermarks from my pictures. And I know they came from my site, cause they could not have come from anywhere else.

And wouldn't it be better to share your own pictures, rather then just stealing them from all over the internet. And then there is no context to anything? For 46 pages, most of the pictures are self shot pictures with the stories behind them. If you just 'shotgun' a bunch of stolen pictures here, they lose their meaning.

Hi Pete, Hi Ryan.

Are links ok to your website, etc?

Ryan</div></div>

Yeah, that's fine of course. I've posted pictures, links to my site and videos before. It's no problem.

Not sure what you're suggesting but I'm certainly not the one who removed your watermarks even if I knew how to do so...which I don't.
Again only shots relevant to what most here enjoy were saved and posted also please keep in mind that not everyone is as computer savvy as you and I may be cruising the web so many site brothers may not have ever seen and enjoyed them if not posted here?
Again as I said previously, thanks and credit to you for any pics that are yours also thank you in advance for any others that may appear in this or other threads here in the future but w/ unmarked pics all over the net, it's somewhat inevitable when like minded subjects the topic.
That all said, if you still really believe I took the pics from your site and removed the marks, sorry but no and best may be check into the &quot;Pinterest&quot; website as quite a few were found there also others from elsewhere on the web plus more saved on my system somewhere in the past.
Lastly and this is for everyone reading this, I have lots of shots saved including more old warbird stuff I was going to add but waiting to let the group enjoy those already posted...shall I and others who find cool shots on the web we don't know the origins of stop sharing or what's best from here?

When I post an original pic on the internet I do so knowing that others will save and later share that pic, and I don´t have a problem with that. I just don´t want other people to make money on my pic unless they pay me first.
So I´m with you Pete. Don´t stop sharing.

</div></div> I really don't think anyone on these forums is making an $$ off pictures, etc. displayed here. If there were any money to be made the Chinese would be hacking in and collecting $$, I mean data.

So I will keep posting things I find interesting and hopefully so will the rest of the folks here ... you also Pete!!

how the hell is reposting a picture from the internet, back on the internet 'stealing'

Guys, I know Ryan. He works very hard to support the hobby, but some people - disreputable or simply naive - have removed water marks from his efforts.

I don't think he's accusing anyone here of doing this or asking people to stop posting pics online, but merely trying to protect his efforts.

And I don't blame him.

Now that everyone has this new awareness, please don't remove the water mark of any pic you find online - we are not the owners of those pics.
