Are they?

Yup.

One example, taken from the 26" frame section; every picture stolen from Tarty.

Nobody likes people using photos without asking first, but you get your site advertised on another website which means free advertising, so it all isn't that bad.

As Luke said, that's not the point. In a commercial environment (especially in a small community like trials) it's just lazy and unprofessional. It's also only a step away from (and probably actually worse than) copying descriptions and specs.

I don't remember getting a pay cheque from them for taking the time to actually take and edit those photos? Equally, if they're next to a 'Buy now' button, do you think people are going to go "Oh, it looks like Tartybikes took these photos. Maybe I'll go there instead", or just click 'Buy now'? Especially bearing in mind they've also cropped out our watermark from some of them.

Are they?

I can't be 100% sure, but evidence would suggest it...

That's not really the point though, is it?

I agree, they're just ripping all the other trials company's off who try hard to make their website look professional and appealing to the consumers, and tarty doesn't really benefit from it at all (other than the fact that their website is watermarked).

Mark, if you wanted a pay cheque from those photos then put them on a website like www.istockphoto.com and you could perhaps get some money out of it.

I didn't mean to offend anyone. If it makes you feel any better, I'd never buy from any bike website other than tarty. :/

Part of my job description is to take the photos for our site, so I don't need to license them anywhere. Me gaining money wasn't really the point I was making...

On behalf of the forum is anyone really bothered about that?

Yeah.

If I was looking to buy from a site and they were too lazy/half-arsed to take their own pictures, but to use (generally lower quality) rips of another company's images, still with their watermark on, I'd run the other way.

If that reflects how seriously they take things, I'm not going to trust them with a fat load of my hard earned cash.

Who's bothered? A picture is a picture? Any picture does justice right?

You've got way too much time on your hands dude to go through all that. Just saying...

I could rinse all the pictures off Tarty's site right now, throw together a shit website just like that one with the pics and some blagged info from around the net. Few people like yourself that don't give a shit about a company being professional ignore the shoddy attempt at marketing their business and send me a load of money for a load of bikes/parts and away I go with your cash, leaving you with nothing. Guessing you'd be pretty stoked? (Y)

he has no checkout either and he uses yahoo messenger for sales im staying well clear

haway lads theres no point arguing about the photos just contact the website owner Mark, im sure you'll need Tarty at one point Andy so no point arguing with them over some low res photocopies, here's a slighty odd looking beer each [()()]b
