jaydentaku Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 You're right. It is a moral outrage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protium Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) If you don't want people using your pictures, put a watermark on them. Edited January 18, 2013 by Protium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the boy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1358441663' post='1939277'] So you'd all be happy to buy a bass when the photos advertising it are several months and one owner out of date? [/quote] Yes I would as long as the photos were tastefully done and not smutty. Edited January 22, 2013 by the boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The guy probably did it out of ignorance, not realising that it's bad form. I wouldn't be angry AT him. Although he should have asked permission first, as well as stating in the ad that the pictures are however old, and from the previous seller.

Beer of the Bass Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Leaving out any copyright concerns, I absolutely won't consider buying something something if I spot that the pictures are not the seller's. This is not so much for intellectual property reasons, but because he's just as likely to be a scammer selling a non-existent item with pictures taken off google images. This tends to be more of an issue on Gumtree than eBay though. Edited January 22, 2013 by Beer of the Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefrash Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 As others have said, it will be more down to the seller's ignorance rather than him trying to deceive. If they are nice photos and they portray the guitar's condition then I would probably have been guilty of it myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
