Ok lets clarify here

If you post images on facebook then only facebook has a licence to use em ON facebook only. Anyone else taking images from facebook for any kind of use unless authorised by the photographer is unauthorised usage.

Ok there are two remedies here, you can issue a cease and desist so the images need to be atken down by the infringer
Secondly do you want compensation?

First you just take screen grabs along with dates and times. You also need to show screengrabs from where the images where lifted and assert you are the copyright holder.

Next you have to decide how much you want for the infringement, is depends on the usage and the size of the organisation that has done the infringing, getty web site is good for calculating actual cost and then double this for the infringement.

You then need to send a cease and desist along with your demands, i.e removal of images and how much you want.

Some examples of cease and desist are here

Explain they have sven days or legal action will be taken, you can then sue through moneyclaim or the new copyright and patents court which costs around £75 and is done without your presence.

As the infringer has claimed public domain bqloney you will have no problem winning your case as they are in efct admitting the infringement.

Hope this helps.

An excellent lens, enjoy!

The £130 difference for me was to big to justify and as i never print any of my images bill board sized would have been just a waste.

I have put the £130 towards my saving pot for the 50mm 1.8

The k-5 autofocus is not a patch on the mkii, in low light the mki will hunt, particularly with the tamron 17-50 attached.

The low price of the new one in ebay maybe due to the finishing time being 4.00am

And it comes with a sigma 1.4 teleconverter

Unfortunatel i cant make it due to being called into work this weekend.

Have fun everryone

I heard there where 24 photographers there last night, looking at your photos they must have taken turns as i can only see six there, some i recognise.

Enjoy i love mine...

Cilliary blue will replace the lens in an om53 for around £15 for a prescription lens
