So I found MY photos that I took of MY RINGS on a listing on Kijiji for what I assume is a fake Tiffany ring. My engagement ring is NOT a Tiffany ring, nor is it .78ct, nor is it an I VVS stone. I reported it, and contacted the seller demanding the listing be removed and my images be taken down. I originally had a watermark on that photo, as well. The seller cropped it off. Clearly I need to put my watermark RIGHT NEXT TO MY RINGS in the future. Neither the seller will remove them, nor Kijiji. In fact, Kijiji pretty much said that if it's online at all, it's fair game and that regardless of proof, if it's not a "true copyright" (um, it's MINE, I own it, I took it, I am the subject. I OWN THE COPYRIGHT!) then they can't do anything, pointing me to the Canadian Copyright laws.
Besides allowing this person to use MY rings, they're essentially allowing this person to commit fraud, using photos of a non-tiffany ring to sell a Tiffany ring, which is probably not even the item they're selling.
Do I have ANY recourse?
