Hey, Sunway: That's my photograph. Please stop the copyright infringement.


Hey, Mr. Sunway, since you chose not to reply to my very polite PM two weeks ago, I\'ll say it publicly. Please stop using my photograph to sell your product without permission.







The Amazon link:

http://www.amazon.com/SUNWAYFOTO-Discal-Compat-DDY-64-Sunway/dp/B004E635JO/ref=pd_cp_p_1

My original photograph, which I posted to help other users here in 2010:







And the thread in which I posted it:

As I said in the PM,

\"I was just in a discussion about the Arca-Swiss P0, and reminded people of how well it mates to your disc clamp. I\'ve been curious about whether you might develop a lever version of it, so I looked at the current Sunway listings on Amazon. I was surprised to see one of my photographs of the clamp on a P0 head here:

\"It\'s not a huge problem, but I would have appreciated being asked first. Like most photographers, I don\'t like seeing my images used without permission.\"

I think that response was exceedingly mild.

I like your clamp. It\'s well-made, perfectly mates to the Arca P0 head, and I respected the fact that unlike some of the other new Chinese manufacturers, you\'ve done some product design and development on your own, rather than simply exploit the intellectual property of other manufacturers. I\'m disappointed to see that you don\'t extend that same courtesy to the users of your product -- even those generous enough to post a positive review and share information about how to make it even more useful to other potential customers.

I thought you were better than Benro. Perhaps I was mistaken. I\'ve written to Amazon to ask them to remove my photograph.
