Please Don’t Use Other People’s Progress Photos As Your Own

Thank you to a fellow Fitblr who recognized my LEGS photo (in white shorts) in this person’s PROGRESS profile.

http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/Genieabs/

It’s unfortunate that this person feels they need to use someone else’s photos as their own… but I guess it’s an indirect compliment. I just don’t appreciate image stealing.

  2. vinyasatovino said: that’s awful!
  3. fitnessandbodybuilding said: That is weird. That person looks fit enough…could more of them be fake?
  4. tone-n-tight said: ugh, i’d be livid
  5. isopoda said: It’s because they’re trying to sell whatever “genieabs” is. They post the link in their pictures.
  6. femme-enforme said: Hrm :-/
  7. mariahcatfitandfierce said: Wow I can’t believe they would do that! -__- so lame!!
  8. countchoculr said: Wow that’s weird and just unbelievable. I’d be pretty upset and feel violated.
  9. sarabreathes said: I agree with the watermarking. I thought people grew out of doing stupid stuff like that..
  10. moremuscles said: That’s so strange that anyone would do that!
  11. runrunningrunner said: Maddening - I saw once where someone used a full body pic of Jamie Eason!!! and used it in her webpage for her training business. People have no darn shame. Grrrrr.

  14. celebratingorselfmedicating said: Wow, that’s so weird, and really says something about that person’s self-esteem if they feel the need to use someone else’s photos.Have you considered watermarking your pics? It’s a shame you even have to worry about that kind of image theft, though!
