Lets just put the record straight.Buzzer has been asked time and time again to just credit where the pictures come from had he done that it would have been the end of it, but no, he has blatantly refused thinking it is some kind of game.
He also seems to have forgot the rules on here…
Copyright and photo’s-
Post by Rikki-UK » Sun Mar 02, 2008 1:55 pmOn this forum many members post a lot of images that are taken from other websites or bought from photo traders. We do not have time to check whether every image is copyrighted.
If you believe that an image is being shown that you own the copyright to, and wish it removed from this website please contact UKAdmin@Truck.net. Please include a link to the website from where the image was taken.
This also applies to images scanned from magazines, again we cannot check wether every image on here is copyrighted, but if you believe an image that you own the copyright too is being used without your permission please e-mail us at the above e-mail address
Members please note.
There are fairly stringent copyright laws that we have to obey, just because a image is shown on the internet or you bought it from a trader does not mean that it is available to be posted, copied or directly linked to for display on the internet. If we are contacted by the owners of copyrighted images we will/may to remove the image from your post.
For Information
BAPLA.orgThere is a list below of websites that have requested that we do not reproduce photo’s from their collections- please do not copy and publish any photo’s from these websites without explicit permission

Well said. It’s only a matter of common courtesy and good manners to acknowledge a source. How sad that courtesy is viewed with derision by a few vocal people on here.
It’s not as simple as that. If you go onto an online site and save a picture from it, you are in a position to note who posted the picture and in some cases, note to whom the picture should be credited. In those cases it can be courteous to acknowledge your source.
However, if you do what people like Buzzer and I do: ie go into Google images, where there are thousands of truck pictures that have been copied and re-copied upteen times, you end up with no source to acknowledge.
For example, there’s a picture of a BOC Euroshield E-series ERF and fridge trailer that I took in Paris when I was parked up there thirty years ago. That picture is all over the internet with no trace of me attached to it. I posted it on TruckNet about 13 yrs ago and it went viral like thousands of other pictures in the public domain. That’s the reality. The difference is that I don’t mind: I’m only glad that people are enjoying that image and it hasn’t gone to waste.
That’s all fine but, in the case of the Riding website, for example, it has cost thousands to put together, and certain individuals ae blatantly lifting photos which can only have come from there. On Facebook, there is one person who revels in taking photos and giving no credit, and positively gloats in doing so - he’s very proud of himself. Incidentally, Facebook’s own guidelines say, in essence: if it’s not yours, don’t post it.
