Motul India stole my picture
Motul ?? Ehh, What is that ??
Motul is a French company, now worldwide, which creates, develops and distributes lubricants for engines (motorcycles, cars and other vehicles) and for the industry.
What happened ??
Back in 2013, I pulished an article over Yamaha R15 coolent replacement.

Notice the picture, second last in the article..
But today I see, Motul India, editied the picture and used it in their facebook page without my authorization or mentioning the original credit..
https://www.facebook.com/motulindia/photos/pb.179262582121760.-2207520000.1406573408./718088574905822/?type=1&theater
Feeling stunted to find such giant organizations indulge indulge this type of copyright infringement..
Now what ?
Does anyone know how to complain to facebook ??
Reason: Question added
Why don't you mail them instead and earn some bucks? Think about it biker.... offcourse, unless you're too sentimental to sell your photographs [grin]
Why don't you mail them instead
I have already sent them emails, but I wonder if they would respond..
earn some bucks? Think about it biker....
Please explain in little details..
offcourse, unless you're too sentimental to sell your photographs
I wonder if they dont response, in that case I wont have any option apart from asking for third party judgement, that's facebook as the picture is posted there only..
Aare bhai, paati kothay dhamki dao.... soja chiThite lekho, apnara bina anumoti te chobita use korechen... er sothik mulyo na dile ainer sahajhyo nite badhyo hobo, through legal notice against motul India. Janiyo ki bollo....
Sue them thru copyright infringement act you may get out of court settlement
Contact Knitha for further guidance

Guess they have removed them now...can't see it
yes, same here. I went to check the image, finally, and it isn't available on FB Anymore! Any update, Hunky? Did they apologize or something?
Knitha ka naam sunte hi darr gaye honge 
Exactly VP @!
@CK..
They have accepted the guilt and took down the post after apologizing !!!
Today I find they have shared another of my article, but this time with original credit given !!
You should really send them a legal notice 
It's great that they have actually accepted the mistake and apologized. Otherwise, like BA did in case of Knitha, they might have gone to justify it. 
Still, did they ask for your permission before doing so? 
Though, it's not that bad, because this'll get you page views via their page, and it's actually good for your blog.
I am preparing a second email which I would be sending out to them within a day or two..
come on sue them , send them a notice
Remember the golden rule bro, anything negotiated out of court-kacchhari is more beneficial for Aam aadmis like us... Try what I said before.... nahole kichu hobeto nai sudhu sudhu nijer energy nosTo... poysao....
