Is is OK for vendors to "steal" pics for use in their threads?

Well I guess since its my picture in question Ill chime in. Strafe sent me a PM asking if he could use the pictures for his thread selling the same replica bumper, or similar. I never responded because quite frankly I thought it was a stupid question to ask a customer that went through a different company for the product, and taking into consideration that they wrapped it in carbon and painted it. So he went ahead and took them anyway. So I wrote that comment above ^ that someone quoted me on, and he took them down. Now, if they are back up again then I can see issue. But to my knowledge he took them down immediately. So I don't necessarily have a problem with Strafe, he complied when I explained the situation and we moved on. But I agree that it is not very honest to display a product that you literally did not sell to that consumer. I believe he is still using AI's picture that they sent me of my bumper painted before it shipped, but I didnt take it so I have no say in that one.

I have no idea if they are using it anymore. I started this thread months ago when it was an issue. Then some clown felt the need to bump it saying the mods can't do crap.
Glad to hear that they did respect your wishes in the end.

Jekl, you make me laugh man, has nothing to do with respecting mods. So stop trying to think of them as your mother and getting me in trouble when I am disrespecting no one. You said that you spoke to the person in question about this, and I guess we find out your full of it now. You stated that you spoke to the person with the pictures and now he comes in here, and says that he never even replied to the vendor with an answer. I guess we know who the real clown is now huh, way to try seeming smarter then you truly are.

Let me spoon feed this to your stupid ***. Here is exactly what I said...
How is that not exactly the truth? I said he never gave permission, the owner of the car said he never gave permission. Are you really that much of a retard to not see how that is the same thing?

First of All We are not Auto Infantry. How many times do we have to STATE this? Auto Infantry made things a lot harder for legit companies to try and sell the same Products that all vendors sell. Mainly everybody sells the same kits. It comes down to Price and customer service.
We have a good relationship with VIS racing and few other companies. We sell replica and authentic kits.
We got rid of one of our Partners Robert (- who is now with M1 Autosports and worked for Peter when he was@ M1 )because of his actions on here with People like the OP and the guy's picture he used without permission. He almost lost us a big vendor account because of his same actions. My Partner Dustin and I take our company serious. We try to run on 100% satisfaction but we realize there are the 20% who won't just get any satisfaction. We still try for to 100%.
We have access to the same kits AI did, and that makes us them? Come on be real. Don't you think Internet Brands have made sure we weren't AI? Really!!!. Now do we know those guys? Yes it is a small industry. I started Strafe because of a messed up thing Peter did to me with a supposed custom made bumper for my G35 and he had it copied. That is when he left M1 and started Auto Infantry. I thought that was messed up and started Strafe to stop this madness, and to get prices back down to where people can afford them again. Our margins are small and we want business on service and price.
I understand how they messed up the market...Give us a chance not too mess it up. We are going to be on our website soon instead of 350z based on cost versus sales. We have more than just kits, we have almost all your needs. We aren't just limited to Nissan/Infiniti products either. Even if it isn't on our site email us and we will try to get what you need sales@strafeautomotive.com

Well you have put nothing to rest. The issue was never was it illegal so your point is worthless. I guess you are not familiar with forums so let me educate you, there are these things called Terms of Use (TOU) that mods enforce. If they feel that something violates a TOU they can ban you, regardless if it is against the law.
Unlike you, I do not assume anything. I had spoken with the owner of the car and he flat out said that he did not give them permission when they asked.

Help yourself out and either look at your own posts before you own yourself, or just GTFO of here

This fool has selective memory. He must have a real medical condition that makes him seem like such a dousche. JEKL, re-read your own posts and stop embarassing yourself.

Jekl, you are worthless, you said YOU DIRECTLY SPOKE with this guy and HE TOLD YOU HE didnt give permission. Now the guy comes in here, and says otherwise, I dont understand how you are still trying to be right, maybe its time for a short ban of Jekl to learn to read?
Mods jekl said the A word, lol my morals are hurt and I dont think its right, maybe he needs some time off haha.

Please quote the comment where he said otherwise. Because all I see is he supports what I said and the vendor supports it too. I am already waiting on the other dipshit to do that, I guess I can wait on you as well.

JEKL, my concern is not about you contradicting yourself, it is about you trying to butter up yet ANOTHER guy trying to get on his nuts. This issue has nothing to do with you...why are you bringing it up? The owner of the car doesn't seem to have a problem with it. The problem is you're trying to side with the owner hoping he'd take you to dinner and then give you butt hole pleasures, just like you were hoping Colin would do in the other post. Dude...try eharmony or match.com, my350z is clearly not the place for small d*ck fools like you to find gay homo love. It is a site to discuss cars, namely the 350z, not an online dating site. So please refrain from sticking your nose in places that you want to stick your small d*ck f*ggot. Thank you

If I get an infraction for ONE word, then this deserves a ban.
