Tracy Trust Property Illegally Using a Vernon Chalmers Image

Tracy Trust Property 'West Coast & Surrounding Areas CAPE TOWN South Africa' Website Section Using a Vernon Chalmers Milnerton Lagoon Image Without Permission

Copyright Infringement from Tracy Trust Property: It came to my attention that Trust Property via its 'West Coast & Surrounding Areas CAPE TOWN South Africa' website section at https://www.tracytrustproperty.co.za/west-cost-surrounding-areas is using a Vernon Chalmers Image captured by a long exposure image by Vernon Chalmers (Vernon Chalmers Copyright / Intellectual Property) at Lagoon Beach, Milnerton without permission.

When visiting the Tracy Trust Property 'West Coast & Surrounding Areas CAPE TOWN South Africa' the Vernon Chalmers copyrighted image is used in the top left corner of the Tracy Trust Property - website.

Removing the © Vernon Chalmers Copyright Watermark
The © Vernon Chalmers copyright watermark was altered / removed from the 'cropped' image. It is not essential (legally required in South Africa) to display image copyright via a watermark. Nevertheless, it is distasteful and dishonest attempt by Tracy Trust Property to remove the explicit © Vernon Chalmers notification (without permission).
