The other day Rage Web Design received
a phonecall - “someones been using my portfolio images on their
website”. A long standing client who are manufacturers of booth seating was
not happy.
The CHEEK of it.
A few direct phonecalls and Rage Web Design was rewarded with the offending party removing the images. This particular customer has been conducting a very successful SEO campaign with Rage Web Design for over four years now - unfortunately such exposure to the outside market means this comes with the high risk that their portfolio could be stolen.
Luckily its very easy to prove when an image was launched to a particular website. We also recommend however that you (and we) always hold onto the original file even if it is now online.
If in doubt. Don’t steal images. Try stock photography images.
