Ken,

This situation warrents a follow-up. Someone with the username "cclambert07" on FlightAware is posting our pictures without permission, and with the removal of the copyright notice.

You have a moderator with the username "cclamber07".

I am sorry that there is such a coincedence in all of this, but I am having a difficult time believeing that this is all some kind of a quirk of fate.

If cclamber07 and cclambert07 is one in the same, then we have some big issues, if they are not then cclamber07 has someone out there using a very close unique username.

I will not point a finger "yet", but this does require a follow-up on your part as the father of airport-data.com. It is your reputation that may be on the line here, and you don't need this.....you have worked way too hard to make it right for the rest of us !

Respectfully,

John

Ken, ditto on what John said.

If cclamber07 and cclambert07 are not the same person...

Then "airport-data.com" user cclamber07 has been impacted as well.

My stolen photos have different proportions (because the copyright was shaved off), but somehow cclamber07 and cclambert07 have the same 640 X 425????

Ken, thank you for promptly looking into this.

I enjoy your site very much! I just hope this is resolved quickly.

Best Regards,

Paul

Hi John & Paul,

Thanks for the heads-up. Could you please provide URLs which prove your original photos are stolen from this site.

Meanwhile, I will contact our cclamber07 to check if both users are same person.

Ken

Never mind. I found another thread by Paul which provides evidences.

Ken

Ken,

Thank you very much for dealing with this event.

I also thank you for looking into this situation.

Again, we have so many folks here who respect each others work, and do not pull this kind of stuff, but I also would certainly not have expected this from a moderator on to A-D.com !

Lets hope this gets resolved very quickly

Thanks,

I randomly checked a few photos from the collection of cclambert07 on flightaware.com, most of them are taken from our site, Dean Heald and Steve Nation are among the victims.

I have sent an email to FlightAware administrator. If it's confirmed that both users (cclamber07 and cclambert07) are same person, I will ban him permanently.

Ken

This guy has at least six of my photos taken from here. My same photos that I post on myaviation.net have watermarks on them, so he isn't stealing them from here.

this cclambert07 stole N561BP, N184WV, N808SV, N229DJ, N579BJ, N503RV - all but one taken at Daytona.

For Paul and John-I seem to recall from an early Forum post that cclamber07 may be in Colorado where you both are. You might do a little local detective work? But, suggest no confrontations.

Hi Doug,

Thank you for your follow-up on this.

I can not currently find evidence of a Colorado location, but I will look into it.

Here is the information that I have on the following users (based on Posts).

AIRPORT-DATA.COM: cclamber07: Chris Lamber -Forum Moderator

Based on the following posts, I do not have any proof that these are the same user... other than the images not being "shaved-copyright removed" on both forum posts like the others.

Same first name, very similar username, access to same original photo, should be enough to lead us to conclusion.

Ken

Ken,

Thank you for all your effort on this.

The conclusion does appear crystal clear at this point...

I am assuming that Chris Lamber (formally of Airport-data.com) did not return your email regarding this event.

Doug,

Your advice is good. No confrontations.

I haven't had a chance to do any detective work yet, but I do know that John has an attorney who is aware of cclambert07 actions.

I would hope that Chris does come forward to clear his name... as the boogeyman will get him if he does not.

Best Regards from Colorado!

No he didn't return my email.
