    Someone is using my picture for ebay. GRR.

    This picture is mine. More than likely took it right off my website. that really burns me. I wonder if he even has a bike for sale. Might be a scam. man i hate it when people steal pictures...

    I looked at your website and saw the same picture. If you google a paricular make of trike and click images at the top of the page you will find all the pics of peoples trikes. He lies in his ad if you read it....It says this is a picture when it was new...Its not as clean now DISHONEST right off the bat...I dont beleive this one is a scam because he has feedback for other trike part tranactions phone number, "you can come see the bike ", etc...I would be irritated also. Email him

    Yep i just googled ytm 225 and hit images up top and there was your machine. A lazy way not to grab a camera and take your own damm picture. But to lie about it is not cool

    seriously, thats what bothers me the most. I mean I sold it so its not my bike anymore and that kinda thing but I know that is not his picture you know. Defiantly misleading. and if he woulda asked that would changed things abit too. i mean I have used other pictures before but I had permission. blah. it just sucks.

    Actually, any picture a person takes themselves instantly becomes copyright intellectual property that is registered to them. So yes, if Louis Mielke took the picture, then yes, he does hold a copyright on it. If I take a picture of YOUR trike, or even you, its still MY picture.

    Thank you HondaATC for pointing that out.

    I was gonna say, XtremeZ needs (back off, first of all,) and to brush up on his law knowledge before commenting so strongly. That IS Louis Mielke's picture if he took it.

    You think magazine/sports/journal photographers copyright their pics? NO They snap the pic, and THEY OWN IT. They can sell it to the mag, newspaper, journal, or whatever and even then in some cases it STILL belongs to the original photographer.

    Being right is great.
