Motul India stole my picture

Motul ?? Ehh, What is that ??

Motul is a French company, now worldwide, which creates, develops and distributes lubricants for engines (motorcycles, cars and other vehicles) and for the industry.

What happened ??

Back in 2013, I pulished an article over Yamaha R15 coolent replacement.

Link -> http://nexgenbikes.com/site/2013/04/17/when-and-how-to-replace-the-coolant-or-radiator-fluid-of-yamaha-yzf-r15/

Notice the picture, second last in the article..

But today I see, Motul India, editied the picture and used it in their facebook page without my authorization or mentioning the original credit..

Feeling stunted to find such giant organizations indulge indulge this type of copyright infringement..

Cry

Now what ?

Does anyone know how to complain to facebook ??

It's great that they have actually accepted the mistake and apologized. Otherwise, like BA did in case of Knitha, they might have gone to justify it. :P

Still, did they ask for your permission before doing so? :-/

Though, it's not that bad, because this'll get you page views via their page, and it's actually good for your blog.Tongue out

Why don't you mail them instead

I have already sent them emails, but I wonder if they would respond..

earn some bucks? Think about it biker....

Please explain in little details..

offcourse, unless you're too sentimental to sell your photographs

I wonder if they dont response, in that case I wont have any option apart from asking for third party judgement, that's facebook as the picture is posted there only..
