Original Message: Blatant copyright infringement.....Kiffa Beads....in Mauritania, no less :) |

There I was just surfing the web....on Google....doing a "Kiffa Bead" search....and Lo and Behold up pops this travel site in Mauritania.....They had a cute little article about the Kiffa Beads, (many misspellings), most of the info looked similar to what's been published somewhere else on the web.....as I scrolled down the page a familiar sight surprised me.....25 Kiffa bead photos, which I had posted on the BCN over the years....Some I had given permission for David at ATB to use and the funny thing is the name is still on the Pics with the copyright notice....this site is not using these as educational material but, it seems to me, solely for the purposes of commercial exploitation....in a sense I feel honored to have an indigenous company use my images in their home country....maybe they will cut me a travel deal???
