  This site: https://bobsegarini.wordpress.com/2018/04/03/frank-gutch-jr-gypsy-rock-and-roll-nomads-the-documentary-steve-lalor-r-i-p-plus-a-few-delicate-little-notes/ has used a photo of my husband, Steve Lalor, shot and copyrighted by me, not only without permission, but with my copyright cropped out of the photo. As you can see from his page: https://www.facebook.com/188191727881141/photos/a.691032590930383/691032607597048/?type=3&theater my copyright has been cropped out. I asked him in comments to rectify this, and have been ignored.

  And no, it’s not a problem with my blog.

  All I want is for him to add my copyright.

  Hi there,

  If you want him to add your copyright/attribution, you’ll need to contact him directly to request that. We do not act as a mediator between people in this regard.

  All we can help with is if you decide to file a DMCA takedown notice against him, in which case we, as the hosting provider, will remove that content if it is a valid complaint. To do that, please follow the process outlined here:

  We cannot help with this in the public forums, so I’m closing this thread to further replies.
