Angry why do this?

Hey Lexus Grill reposted all of my DIYs on his site w/o even giving me any credit for it. What the heck.
http://www.lexusgrill.com/dyi.html
I feel violated. I will have to edit every single pictures on my site and put my signature in it.

LOL.

Sorry to laugh about it, but I think he knows this and is probably getting a kick out of it.

Anyone know the specifics on legalities about personal web copyrights? There's probably a good chance you can force him to remove all of it.

Definately not cool.
I didnt know the guy other than reading some of his posts on here. Wasnt too crazy about his "stickers". Is it me, or does he advertise that he is chroming grills. I thought its more removing the paint to expose the chrome.
Best way for pay-back, other than having him take the stuff off his page, is to go to any other lexus sites he posts on, and dissuade people from doing business with him.
........just an idea.

Yup, anyone who wants him to remove the picture have to send him a cease and desist letter/demand.

I would be pissed if that happen to me. I had a chance to deal with this guy once before. He is not very professional at all. Glad he got banned.

Gee, I was kind of admiring a couple of the grills over there. Guess I'll shop elsewhere.
