Toyota has been caught using various photographers' photos on at least two of their websites without permission, without compensation, and despite at least one photographer's obvious copyright notice and contact info.

Where did they find them? On Flickr of course!

Thanks for this story. Good to know.

I learned long ago that if you post on the web, your images will be taken by someone. It's how it is. Found several of my images and Klaus's on a web site once. Photonet is a huge source for image thieves, so think before you post.
