"koala on the road" UNAUTHORISED IMAGE USAGE ( copyright infringement / image theft / photo misuse )
By Cheryl Ridge, Australia

As a photographer I sometimes have to deal with the issue of my images being used
without my knowledge or permission. Links to samples are below. Besides trying to create
awareness, I aim to contact the various parties/sites to resolve outstanding issues.
In the meantime more information on copyright and moral rights can be obtained from:
AUSTRALIAN COPYRIGHT COUNCIL and Arts Law Centre of Australia

CURRENT SAMPLES OF UNAUTHORISED IMAGE USAGE OR NO CREDIT LINE (at 6 February 2022):
Reference image which I simply call "koala on the road" : https://pbase.com/chezzyr/image/120104114

Below I have posted some links or samples where:
- the image usage was not licensed by me (the photographer / copyright owner) AND/OR
- there is NO reference to the photographer (no credit line, no acknowledgement, no attribution)
