Default WARNING "They did it Again"

Someone stole pics of my car once again and put it on there site to sell body kit parts.

I emailed the website to remove them and they said NO.

Here is the email response I got:
Hello Gabriel

You should know that Federal Law of Canada say that each pictures shown to general public or over the internet doenst have any copyright. The only way you can give copyright to picture is by tagging them with a embed watermark by a digimark program. This cost approx $10 000 per year to get the digimark software and we scan each picture before putting them on the website, your pictures doenst have this watermark. We are not talking about layers OVER the pictures but watermark encrypted INSIDE the pictures, in the code.

You should also know that pictures on cardomain or any other public website are used for general public and they are free to be used by anyone at anytime for business purpose or personal purpose.

You should know, at first, that if you don't want the people or company to use your pictures, well simply don't show them to general public and keep them for yourself.

You should know also that there is a way to ask something and there is a way to earn something. If we get a polite email that ask us gently to remove pictures, we would do it within 5 minutes.. but the way you asked for it.. I will be more than happy to keep them on the website.

Have a nice day

He did not even have the courage to sign his name.

What I find amusing is what do they tell there customers when they don't get it with the side vent?

Check to see if your car is being used also

Here is the link

and the picture from the site

I know it was a little direct, but I know of a few others that have sent emails to them (about their cars) and they were as mature as the response I got.
They are getting a bunch of bad coverage over this from a number of other sites.
