    I've seen a picture on pix.ie that seems to have been copied by someone else on pix.ie and posted in their own account.

    Should I post a link on the original photo?

    Hi can you post a link and we'll investigate.

    [UPDATE] or better still email us "support at pix dot ie" with the link. Thanks.

    Cheers,

    Because they had smaller resolution images, they had copied more than one image from different accounts and when they received our copyright violation notice email, they responded with an apology... :)

    No... We take the view that not everyone is aware of or fully understands the laws or meaning of the word "copyright". Our policy is innocent until proven guilty and to ban repeat violators rather than punish people who may have made a legitimate mistake.

    Sorry! Couldn't resist, I fully endorse your policy though.
    With so many people unaware of copyright implications it's best to treat them with a fair hand and accept that no malice was intended.

    Keep up the good work and I'll keep posting photos, at least I will when I'm shooting digital again :)
