We had a new competitor take a video of one of our installs (with owner's permission) and post it on the front of their web page. I believe it's still there almost two years later.
It's a shady thing to do but I don't think there was anything we could legally do to stop them. From: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org] On Behalf Of Rebecca Lundberg Sent: Monday, April 28, 2014 6:34 PM To: re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Subject: [RE-wrenches] Publicity rights? I have come across a new (small) installer taking photos of solar projects that others installed, and promoting them on their web site in their "gallery" without getting permission or giving any credit to the installer. This seems unethical, and I'd like to be able to point to a law related to this so that my sites are not used in this way. Even if a customer gives this person permission to take a photo of their site, it doesn't make sense that this installer could imply any credit for this project by using it on their web site. Isn't there some kind of law that relates to this? Thanks in advance for your input! Keep Shining!
