The page has just now changed, and it's been reported as theft.

This is the link I get when just right click and properties:
"http://members.shaw.ca/sizzlechest/92toyota.jpg"

Looks like his stuff to me....

HAHA.. That updated pic is perfect! Seriously though, how many people will actually see that page through ebay? Those 218 hits are likely a large portion of YT members!

EDIT: Is the code written to size the image? If not, I'd put up a HUGE image! Ah sweet, sweet revenge.

OMGoodness! My wife and I are just losing it!

Good image choice even though she looks a little malnourished

I thought that pic looked out of place. I didn't see the original so that's why.

OK, here's a the deal. Sizzle chest rights have been violated by the unauthorized use of his vehicles picture. Sizzle can demand compensation from the seller. This is based on a torte. I say start sending emails demanding payment.

i kinda want to keep things quiet and see if he starts another auction with the new picture. i know i won't get any money unless i take it court and that's not gonna happen.

The truck will still show up in those two places b/c the image thief saved the image onto his hard drive and uploaded it w/ the ebay online selling software. However, arse clown created some html and hyperlinked sizzle's pic in the description itself.

DUMBA$$!!!

She's a beaut.

Bob

Edit: also, if you look at his auction sale items, everyone of them has some broken image link

Looks like this FOOL is also copying other owner's vehicles too.

OK, here's a little more info ... the seller "webounce" is using

http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7h4c8/s...ilderpictures/

to upload pictures. As you can see his Verizon ID is "vze7h4c8".

At least you can send a nasty email to Verizon demanding copy right material be removed. security@verizon.net


I hope this helps.
