Wow, looks like I am being stolen from!

[HeavyMetal]

Look at this shit! I got a PM on JF from some guy letting me know some magazine is using my work without my consent, gave me phone numbers, page numbers, so on, talk about a nice dude... and the magazine names and the product in it. The mag seems like it isnt involved, its an ad in the mag from a separate company...so i did some google looking, and this is what I came up with.

Unreal. Bastards stole my XJ photoshop work, and just slapped it on their boxing and website after editing out the text I had on it.

I need to figure out how to pursue this.

The guy who sent me the PM called them to ask about it and they said:

i called and asked them about it they said it was a real jeep produced in the 80's

You kidding me?

Id call them and talk to a manager and see where they got the pic from.

Did you have a copywrite, or HMCs logo on it?

They got it from JF or the HeavyMetalConcepts website, only places other than here I have posted it. Unless it spread otherwise.

I dont (well officially), but I have the design file that I created it from, and it is clearly my vehicle anyway. Me not having some registered copyright isnt open season for them to use it,it seems they know that considering they lied about it to the guy

the company should have called you in the first place and actually ask you for your permission to use the pic. this isnt right, hope you get to the bottom of this man
