Yeah no facebook here either Jim.

Howie the rights to your work should not be something that anyone can steal from you whether a pro or not.

Many years back my family used to go to Canada a lot and dad took many pictures usually slides using either kodak or the other film company that was at or near the top for the film whichever was available. I think maybe it was Ansco ?
Anyhow the slides were processed through the usual methods not by dad, only the pro photographer up the street had a private color development and printing lab in his basement at the time , so done in a lab provided by the film companies through your local camera shop.
So about a year after one of the trips we discovered a tourist advert with a shot that was either one of dads or done by someone who was in the exact same spot with the exact same lighting conditions and the same tidal conditions as his shot which was of a fishing boat beached in a bay at low tide on the north coast of the Gaspe' peninsula.
It was a fine shot but how to prove that someone had lifted a copy during the processing would have been almost impossible.
Any way we always got a kick out of the poster or brochures that used it because we knew it was his photograh even though no one was given credit for it and it was really something that caught the spirit of the rural fisheries oriented culture of the province so not really a bad thing at all.
