...my image of my car used WITHOUT PERMISSION.

I would gladly let them use my image if they are willing to give proper credit, and maybe throw in a set of open GTI grilles

Here's the image in question (rehosted as hostdub is in shambles...)

Shame on you, ECS. Hopefully you'll do the right thing and at least ASK me to use the image. I love seeing my images being used in that context-just not without permission...

why, because legitimate company HIRE photographers to get pics like that?
I am just looking for proper credit. If you were a photographer you'd understand.

Guys...I'm not looking to lynch the company. It's just poor business practice.

I agree with you ... maybe not in the sense of "poor business practice" but just some common decency.
Have you tried contacting them? Maybe best to do that first and foremost.

not necessarily, it can be reposted on the same forum. but if someone takes it and puts it on their personal/business website, thats a whole different story.

Thank you.
I realize it's a stock car pic (which is probably why they stole it). It fits perfectly into their MKV GTI section...
