It's unfortunate that I have to contend with so many companies just swiping my photos for their marketing material without permission or payment. But this is the absolute weirdest: a live insect trafficking company, of dubious legality, has copied my self-portait from a few years back in Ecuador, and uses it on their "Our Story" page, as if I'm the dude out there poaching the ants for them.

@alexwild Eww :( Any chance serving them a DMCA takedown notice via their hosting service would be effective?

@mycrowgirl I’m pondering that, versus sending this off to ImageRights, my regular enforcement service that seeks payment.

@alexwild yeah, if you’ve already got an enforment service… if they’re that brazen for the landing page, probably more scraped content farther in 😬
