I openeded Facebook earlier to an article from my town’s local newspaper with at least 5 of my photos from a local music festival included in the article without any credit. I gave the band permission to use my photos however they would like, as long as I’m given credit. They used my photos to promote a show they’re doing, in the newspaper, and they told the newspaper who I was. But then the newspaper printed off copies without crediting me there, nor online and I’m not sure what to do. I tried to contact them and they said I could “leave a message” and they never got back to me. I don’t know if there’s anything I can do.
LOL, that’s hilarious. OP has not relinquished their copyright, and are fully able to issue a DMCA takedown. Doesn’t matter that he supplied the pics to the band, he’s still in full control of the photo. Furthermore, when he supplied the pic, it was with the express condition he be cited for his work, he was not thus…he’s fully within his rights as owner to pull them back.
Next.
