I use another picture-finding-service and they found only one illigal used picture at time. But http://www.picscout.com/ only scans business websites. Maybe this is not enough. Thank you for talking about TinEye.

Good to see not only here, but others around various blogs and forums are finding their images in use, … and TinEye is getting ready to index about 200 million more images.

Cool stuff!

Thanks for stopping by everyone,
Michael

Agreed in FULL….it is an amazing tool and I have found numerous instances of my images being lifted as well. Seems a lot are on Russian wallpaper sites, FWIW…this is a massive step fwd though in being able to track down things.

This is off topic. I’ll tell you what is really weird though. Your shot of the butterfly was so close to mine, I had to investigate. I feel relieved you didn’t lift my picture. Go to the link (http://kenkisch.com/travel/china/default.php) and go to image 50. Sorry you have to keep clicking the forward arrow. Similar butterfly, similar flowers, similar composition only rotated. Maybe try re-orienting your image and scan my website and see if it declares a match.

Hey Doris, … give the plugin a try.
Works like a charm using it directly from your browser, and saves you a ton of time on searching.
