They have used my photo to illustrate something. Problem is, I cant seem to find out what kind of website it is. Seems like some kind of stockbrokers website, but I am not sure.
Second of all, I have sent them an email a week ago, but I havent had any response. Can you look for the email adress you think I should send that email? Perhaps I have chosen the wrong one.

Hi Wietse,
This is from their website, so it looks like you're not far off in saying a stock trading website:
"DebtTraders is a specialist in distressed and high yield bonds globally. Through offices in all major regions of the world, we research and trade debt instruments with institutional clients, 24 hours a day."
It seems to me to be quite commercial, but I can't seem to figure out why they would use any airliner photos there. By the way, there are about 7 or 8 other EVA air photos from a.net on there too, if you just scroll down, and click on the link to the other tail numbers. Other photographers might want to have a look! Anyhow, good luck!

I guess that's what happens in the end, you start thinking about the beginning.

"class action" with combined ripped off photographers against the company should have some impact, or at least force a quick settlement. Get some input from an attorney who is a member here. GOOD LUCK!

I have been emailed twice by this company, requesting permission to reproduce other photographs on airliners.net.
Since I was unable to establish the exact nature of this company's business, I declined to grant any permission at all.
If any fellow photographers wish me to forward the name, email and telephone number of the guy at Debt Traders, just send me an email. I'm not prepared to disclose it here.

Guys,
This is major. I have spotted a lot of images taken from A.net. Some have been edited (planes in a white sky), others haven't been edited. I think an inventory of all images involved could be made, but it would take A LOT of time.

If someone could try and get a username, we could log in and see the full versions of the pictures. It looks like all copyrights from A.net and the photographer are still attached to the images.

It's a bond-trader. They deal in just about anything, aviation assets included. I'm not sure why they seem to like pictures with the aircraft stuff though...

Hi guys,
I got an email back from them earlier, all images removed from the site. They apologise for their actions. They also said that they have not used the photograph I mentioned in my email (Wietse's) in any of their electronic or hard copy publications.

and in both cases when I've done this, we got results.
Just removed the photographs and apologised?
That's disappointing.
What if some of the photographers wanted to belatedly have allowed permission for a payment (normally double)? Was that offered?
Looks like a very good earner has been dashed for a feeble 'sorry'.

This seems to be getting quite a few views, so I'll post another update
I'll have all the images emailed to me on Tuesday, then I'll let the photographers involved know. It appears to be 104 photos in total.
Edit: the employee who uploaded the photos has now left the company. The displaying of images he uploaded was disabled as soon as I sent them the email.
