Old News; Do I Care Anymore? -- Alert! Unauthorized(???) Use by http://mapsights.com/
Randomly, about a quarter of my geo-tagged Pano photos (like this one) are now on mapsights.com without my authorization or knowledge ...

... and no, I did not copywrite nor name-imprint any of the photos I uploaded to Panoramio, relying on their protection instead ...

... (subsequently, I have heard from a big-gallery Pano user [New York/New Jersey] that 'Mapsights' is an API that Panoramio authorized a long time ago to use Pano shots ... don't know how reliable that info is) ...

Hallo Poly ...
There is an Ipernity group called 'Panoramio Refugees - Forum' and in there was a discussion thread about 'mapsights' ... all in German (and Ipernity translate button does not work too well, so I only got an overview of what was said) ...

Oh, tanks for the hint, Wally!
Yes, I know about that group, but I missed this discussion.
And Yes, the translator at Pano was better. Not really good, but better. The translator here sometimes has problems with the spaces for instance...

I checked mine - not yet! But then they haven't majored on Cornwall or Spain in a big way! Give it time.
Sorry to hear your news.
I like this shot.

Many of my photos are now on mapsights. I don't know what percentage. Also photos of my Siberian friend are there. Your photo of the church is very nice.

Well, could be that I've heard about long time ago, but there had been so many products and ideas that I can't remember them all.

... just curious: do you have more information about that? ...

Same thing I discovered. They have obviously uploaded large quantities of photos from Panoramio to populate their site with places to see and things to do. I've had a few stolen before, but never this many for a single site. (Yes, attribution, unlike some others!)

Yes I have found lots too, but they note my copyright and credit the images to me so I'm not that bothered really

Is a beautiful image, yes, they always, in panoramio geotap in google maps I have several that appear in the google map currently, however there are people who can steal them, because I have plagiarized several that I have seen on Flickr under the name of another author.It is something that if I do not look in other galleries I would not have been able to check it, Best regards Happy day of the harvest

A lovely image and I'd not previously heard of mapsights.com. It seems the use of images is all from Panoramio, so not being a member I don't expect to see any of mine there. That said, I've had them 'borrowed' without attribution in the past, which is why I always now watermark them.
