Some years ago I gave a large res version of a lorry photo I had taken, to the haulage company ...owner of the lorry. I had been paid for the photography so was relaxed about them having a copy. A few months later they told me with great deligh that they 'gave' it to DAF trucks.....who used it on a 40ft display at and International Transport Exhibition at Earls Court.
They were chuffed their company livery was thus advertised....I wasn't so pleased DAF got a free image.
It's one of the reasons I no longer broadcast my most important photos on forums or internet sites. It may have the nett effect of not earning any additional money from my work but that's not why I take photos.
