Personally, I do not care. It is like walking outside placing your picture. Or even working in a store with a nametag. \n\nRemember there are many online criminals, meaning that if they see a beautiful picture, they could abuse it and use it in a bad way. Like match your face to a playboy body (exposed). And then post numerous pictures online. That has been done in the past.\n\nIf you see my avatar, I photoshoped it alot. It resembles me in the background altered in every way shape and form. But as long as you don't show much and of course don't give your full contact information then you will be safe from cyber criminals.\n\nTrust me there are alot out there, since that business is GOLD

The answer is No. There is no way to do this. Any time there is a photo displayed on the screen someone can do a 'screen capture' and save the result for their own use. This can be done by anyone using a computer of almost any type. Sure you can disable right-clicks with javascript or whatever, but there is no way to elimante the possibility of someone stealing your images.

I'm just going to answer:\nIf I go to an online site and I find a profile without a picture, even if the site is telling me is a 95% match I would not contact her. Simply by the fact that I took the time to put a picture of mine in there so people can see how do I really look like, and.....\nbecause if you don't have a picture it might as well be anybody playing a really bad joke.

same thing happened to me once but i was the person whose account was logged into.  unfortunately for me, they took full advantage of it and got me into all kinds of trouble pretending to be me.  i had to do lots of damage control, some of it ineffective, and then cancelled that account and made a new one.\n\ni think perhaps you should send an email to the person whose account you get logged into and explain what's happening, perhaps even suggesting they create a new account so nobody else can do the same thing.  trust me, they will appreciate your honesty and your desire to keep their account safe.\n\nit might be in your best interest to create a new account for yourself as well since security seems to be an issue.

It was a while ago, but I think what I did was sign up for Yahoo 360 and set an avatar up there, then edited my Yahoo Answers profile to use that.

Best of all to you as well.  You should have posted your real picture on your Avator.  Jules

Using your pictures? Your web pages? How did he use them? Just copied them? Or did he linked them from your site?\n\nIf linked from your site... this takes a bit of persistence, but it's VERY effective and satisfying. :)  Replace the stolen content with pictures that says something to the effect that \n\n"This picture was linked illegally from _______. Please visit _____ if you want to know the details."\n\nObviously, change your own website to link to the REAL picture's new name. :)\n\nDo this once every two days, create a new name for your existing pic, change your website, and put in another "this picture ____" That way even if he changes his website he's still ****ed. \n\nIf webpages are stolen (put inside a frame, etc. you bascially do the same thing. :)  Similar. \n\nKeep this up for a month. You'll drive that guy bonkers and probably out of business. \n\nHowever, if he merely stole the CONTENT of your webpages, that's more difficult to retaliate on as it's very difficult to prove who owns what, and a lot of people are still mistakenly considering all webpages being in the public domain, thus, fair game to any copying! It's wrong, but it's hard to "fix". You can complain to their ISP, write up a lawyer-looking letter that demand a certain webpage be taken down for copyright violation, but it's unknown how long they will take to do so. \n\nA long time ago someone copied my Star Trek website verboten onto their Lycos account and it took Lycos 1.5 weeks to kill it. And that's on a free host. If they pay for their own space you may have even harder time convincing their host.

Well.. someone quietly photographed me while i was sleeping sitting upright on my desk (with my hands on the keyboard) and and then posted it on the group wiki. Damn those mobile phone cameras.

they will go after the computer its coming from.......if anything they might question you, but your computer will be able to prove that it wasnt you......so dont worry....unless it is you....then they will track your computer down!.....and you should be able to report that to tom on myspace.....he can delete that account if you explain that someone else is using your picture and name...ect.
