Looks like an MCC bar. MLC used to have one and sold it on, now has one of AJ's bars.
Too many of these twerps stealing images for ebay adverts. If they are selling these items, why don't they take their own photos?2008 D4D M6 GXL [MT ATZ-P3][Whitey's Ironman 45710FE/45682FE+KTFR101H/Dob487][extended Roadsafe links][Polyairs][DBA T3/T2][amts diffdrop & recovery points][Tin175's stone guards][Bushskins BashPlate][ARB Sahara][IPF 900s][Snorkel][WindCheetah][MaxTrax][IC-440][Parrot Asteroid][ARB Fridge][Lifestyle 2nd Row Fridge Mount][ARB Compressor][Thumper][SandGrabbers][Cargo Barrier][Tigerz Awning][MCC Rear Bar]

If its an Mcc, well it makes their product look good, I can see why they use it. Saves them painting & fitting one up.
If that's the case no big deal, they should have covered the rego.
People have been using whatever image suits them ever since Internet has been around. Is it stealing if it as been put in public?
Put yourself in their position, people are putting up pics in a public place, so they assume why would you care if they used it.
It's a bit cheeky but not as bad as I first thought.

First rule of the internet, regardless of what the law says, as soon you load something forget about is being yours. A 5 minute search and I found pictures of my Prado, that have been "lifted" that are being used to advertise products and I couldn't care less. Personally I'd rather be enjoying myself then getting hot under the collar about something that is of little consequence. If there was some real impact on on you, commercial loss or defamation, I could understand the aggro but this just seems self righteous.EX-Prado Owner

As a professional photographer of a couple decades I see MLC's point.
This company has taken a copyrighted image and used it for financial gain. A blatant breach of well set and worded legalities in this country.
From what I hear the seller now has a high and mighty " stuff you" attitude.
I'd let the lawyers run rampant and I'd be sending him an invoice for the use of said image.
Report it to eBay as well as you'd be surprised how many items get pulled for copyright disputes on images.

A rare win. Its so easy to lift images, or footage, make a few subtle changes and then do what you like with it.
There are many cases in the US where the copyright owners have lost their court battles.
Its so rife and will continue be so, many don't bother. I personally know of quite a few operators that make their living from said practice, thereby gaining the services of "professionals" for free.

If (and obviously he can) MLC can proof ownership of the car then they would need a property release from MLC to use it for advertising... so, he should go as hard as he can!
Just because it's on the net doesn't mean it's fair game... and the more people say 'get over it' the worse it's going to get.Cheers, Leon
There's no such thing as a wrong turn... it's just the scenic route!

People in the computer game probably already do...
My livelyhood is effected by these issues so I hope MLC takes him/her to the cleaners.Cheers, Leon
