    Angry This Is Not Fair At All!! (Has Large Pictures In Post)

    I hope this comes over what I found today.

    Lets start our story last Monday. After a visit to a Poundland in Colchester I bought a 2 pack of cassette tapes. As I was in the store I heard that if you take a picture of what you found in Poundland with the tag #FoundInPoundland and upload it to Twitter, Facebook. You have the chance to win an iPod.

    So on Monday Afternoon I took a picture of the tapes and uploaded to twitter "#FoundAtPoundland brand new cassette tapes. 2 for a pound, mix tapes for everyone. "


    Flicking through Twitter today (Friday) I saw Poundland had done a page showing all what people have shared and I saw my picture, but wrong text. Which linked to someone else account. They had cropped my pic but I know it is mine.


    They say in the post they bought 10 tapes and made an "art work" of a tape cassette with them, hmm.. Checking on their website, they have made a picture of a cassette but back in 2013! Also they say they used different types of cassettes, but the ones in Poundland are of one type.


    So this guy made a picture back in 2013 of a cassette, saw my picture and then used my pic with his to enter the competition.

    Well if he wins you can point to your prior posting time and claim the prize

    Otherwise invoice him for royalties for use of your image daily until he removes it.

    Use of obvious and hard to remove watermarks is almost becoming mandatory for anything posted online.

    It's only an iPod...
    TBH, I'd be happier winning an actual apple - The taste on one of those is at least palatable!
