I'm going to have to spend more time investigating. It is hard to do with working full-time. I want to call this newspaper that the guys says bought it for his advertising. I do sell to some media companies but those are mostly for educational books, calendars, etc. like to Workman Publishing and Microsoft MultiMedia Publishing. A majority of the companies I sell to, I don't even know what they do with the photos after they have purchased them. Some I find online in "legal" advertising and some I see on products in stores for the US companies. As far as the book publishing companies in Italy and Germany, I have no clue what books they are in.

As far as I know, no one on facebook is posting my pictures without my permission. My settings are set to private on there.

I am pretty sure all of the photos were taken off of flickr before I got wise to the fact and started being more obvious with the "D Trocio Photography" mark on them and uploading smaller sized images. Some were taken directly and used for blogs, website headers, etc. and some were posted to pinterest which then everyone got ahold of them. I have tried getting them taken off pinterest with no luck.

I came across this one tonight ...someone took my photo of my dog and put it on YouTube!! Recognize the 4th from the last dog!? Maybe I should find it in me to somehow be flattered instead of nauseous and angry and leave it at that. This is a big seller amongst pet companies so at least I do make something off of it.
