Subject: Using my photographs without my permission


> It has been brought to my attention by several people including my sponsor
that you are using my photographs to advertise your products. I also noticed
that the pictures were used right on ground dynamics homepage as well. I am
the owner of the sunfire and I did not give permission to use these photos
nor am I giving permission now. The body kit was not produced by ground
dynamics but was pieced together from andy's autosport and customized from
their design. That is simply misrepresentation along with copyright
infringement on my pictures. Regardless whether the pictures were posted
online or not just like any works the copyright need not be registered, I
took the photographs myself.

> I have also filed a complaint with eBay to remove the pictures from your
listing. I will also be contacting ground dynamics who I would imagine my
sponsor also contacted. If the pictures are not removed I will also contact
andysautosport and possibly take legal action if need be.

Wow thats wierd. I couldn't tell what you were all upset about at first because I got to the links too late, and they already changed the pictures.

I've heard a lot of bad things about ground dynamics and this is not the first time they have done this.

The pics have yet to be removed from their homepage. To be honest its not Kevin (the ebay auctioner's) fault because he had no clue. Ground dynamics is using the photos to advertise their product its only natural he used them.

Trance if you look above and go to the ground dynamics homepage the pics are still up on his site...makes me wonder who the ebay auctioner ripped off now. I know I've seen that car before somewhere

Wow, they even have a copyright on YOUR car on thier homepage! You can't right click it to steal it from them, but they can steal it from you!
