Copyright laws are really messed up...alot of confusion...But ill just say that the original photograph you modded for this particular pchop was not "yours" to begin with so I might suspect that voids any need for them to give you credit...But i could be entirely wrong.

 

Looks like Autoblog picked it up...

Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 Limited Edition leaked online? — Autoblog

 

I was paid a good sum of money for one of my 918 RSR renderings, and those were based on one of Porsche's pictures.

TEAMSPEED, my watermark, and my signature were all on the car for a reason.

 

I think you may be playing with fire if Porsche catches wind that you got paid for one of their pictures they may be asking you for a good sum of money. lol

But like i stated earlier i could be entirely wrong...

 

^ unless the photo was shopped beyond recognition would you worry about that. Probably wrong though.

 

Hehe, wasn't that great a sum of money (not very much at all, but for the very small amount of space that it took up, I guess it was a good sum), and it was shopped almost beyond recognition. I'll send CAR an email, nothing too severe, just telling them they need to sort out their editors.

EDIT: Just realized that they shopped out my signature on the side skirt.

EDIT AGAIN: Their inbox is full and they won't accept any messages...

 

Sorry carrara, but LOL. That's pretty funny they did That AND their box is full.

 

I guess it is. I'm just going to laugh the irony off on this one and forget about it until (if) they do it again.

 

I would still contact them about it. Don't you have your stuff copyrighted?

 

As McRae pointed out it is probably not a good idea to seek credit/compensation for altering an official Porsche picture. Look at all the problems Shepard Fairey got into for altering the associated press photo to make the Obama "HOPE" poster. Although the countersue was eventually dropped it took over a year in court. So maybe you have that kind of time and legal representation? Otherwise . . .
