Still Not Famous Enough Syndrome

Sophie H wrote: Going to show my ignorance now Becky, but how do you find out if your photos are being pilfered.

Fairly simply Sophie, people write to me to tell me that they've seen my pictures somewhere. In this case, a friendly Belgian blogger. There's no magical image-matching Google search, although that would be cool.

Every time it happens a little Tranny conscience appears on my shoulder (you know, the ones that look like a tiny version of you with angel wings), and shouts "woohoo! We're so pretty that people want to be us!"

And then a devil (which always kinda looks like Siobhan) appears on my other shoulder and screams "but not bloody famous enough or they wouldn't steal your bloody pictures!"
Blogger sophie h  Hee hee, I know what you mean Becky. I did a google search a while back and found one of my photos on what appeared to be a russian site called 'God Girls' of all things. Not sure is the person in question has vision problems (LOL) but I think all the other pics he's pilfered seem to be GG's.
Well it made me laugh anyway. 
Anonymous Angell  It's a pet annoyance of mine that Google (or Flickr) hasn't developed anything like that yet - they have the technology and the catalogue. Instead they (Flickr here) insist on releasing pointless features and meaningless industry posturing (teaming up with Getty?). How about a "who's nicking my pics and reposting them under a different account" button? Bit of a "duh" feature really.

Maybe they (Google here) will buy www.tineye.com - which does what you want in a situation like this... 
Anonymous Jessica Sideways  Sophie, if I were you, I would be mortified to find my picture on a site that advertised "God Girls" 
Blogger Jessica Sweet TV  There is a site http://tineye.com/ that tries to do that, you put an image and searches the web for places were that image is. Being new their search catalog and capability is small. 
Anonymous Monica  Another alternative to search for your pictures is to try GazoPa - it can also try to find pictures of what you draw :) 
Blogger Lynn Jones  developed anything like that yet

I bet you a fiver all tranny related images vanish from the t'interweb when it's released. :-) 
Anonymous Anonymous  I want to expand on a comment that I made on this Blog . I was the one that said I wanted Trannies should be banned in womens only spaces , I mean in womens dressing rooms where i have known that transvestites have exposed male bits in front of other women and possible children . the so called men all have been arrested by the police and will have a police record. I should not judge all transvesites in the same light and i am sorry for that , but remember any transvestite has a risk to be arrested if they use womens spaces !! i have tranny friends to whom i love very much , but please use logic and good sense of the law . stick to LBGT venues as they are safe , even Becky as said that quote " when she when to Madird " unquote. i have been put in a bad light as i did not expand on my thoughts , now i have
