Sorry to hear about this unfortunate disrespecting of peoples creative ownership rights. Its one thing to make a mistake, another to take no steps to fix the problem once its been brought to their attention.
I wish I was shocked, unfortunately my extreme cynicism means I do not expect more decency from web 2 companies than from any other sort of company. They might start caring now, if it becomes a PR disaster, but that hardly says anything, its already too late for them to prove themselves honorable in this case. Even worse that podtech pretty unashamedly have advertising & PR at the heart of their business, youd think maybe theyd have a bit of a clue when it came to this sort of a thing. I dont think Id be over the moon if I were Seagate right now. Good point Andrea's about the need to get clearance from persons whose likeness is used in advertising. I wonder if in this case, such stuff could be a part of being a Vloggies winner, in the smallprint - do they have the right to use your image from the vloggies for advertising and related campaigns? I know such hings can be clauses in some competitions, maybe it is true in this case, or else perhaps they already got Casey's permission?
