    Isn't the one off the T@B site - If so, copyright infringement if they didn't get permission

    Pretty shady advertising. But you can hardly blame them. Every scene looks better with a T@B in it.

    The two photos are from Little Guy's website advertisement. We wouldn't know if they had permission to use the photos. 

    We certainly didn't have that much grass or trees at Tabazona 2017 ;)

    No, we don't know but usually if there is permission there's a credit line or a copyright notice or something. Small companies usually don't have a clue about copyright infringement and it can cost them. Treble damages in many cases. I got an infringer for $10 grand back in the 80s.
    Met a photographer a few weeks ago that sells his prints for $3K. Unauthorised use would start at $3k + court costs and could go to $9k if trebled and more depending on how it was used.
    Even if you "hire" a photographer it doen't mean you own the copyright.
    Being a graphic designer, I delt with copyright all the time photographers, illustrators, writers, etc.

    Clarkdale is a beautiful area but would have snow during T@bazona.

    We were just looking for someplace to meet our friends from Ca. in March and came across this place. Shocked to see the very same pics from Little Guy web site used to sell camp sites.

    Looking over their site, seems they have simply pulled images from the internet for everything.  Looks like they also really like the T@B, as they use it in their logo as well.

    Campground itself looks OK, it is dirt cheap at $20 a night for full hook-ups.

    States the T@Bpole has camped, so far ;)

    Looks like some of the photos have been digitally manipulated so they're not exactly the same - still not okay without permission.

    This is no doubt a small family business with a DIY website, blissfully unaware of the "borrowed image" copyright issue -- just like hundreds of thousands of other sites, blogs, FB, and forum posts. Clarkdale RV Park is probably enamored by the teardrop concept and get a warm fuzzy feeling whenever a T@B visits their campground.

    If I were a pro photographer or in business selling images or advertising I'd take offense and follow legal means to resolve the issue or remove content.
    But if I were a manufacturer I'd consider it free viral exposure. "Wow, who makes those cute teardrop campers?" :)

    If you don't want your website content, FB, or forum posts scrutinized, hacked, misquoted, or borrowed by potentially millions -- don't post anything online.

    Viral marketing value ONLY if it's identified or contact info included. Otherwise useless.
    Just because you're small doesn't mean you don't need to obey laws - ignorance isn't an excuse.

    Enamored or not, I think I would be ticked if I booked a site there thinking there would be trees and grass (yeah, I know... Arizona, but still). If they weren't interested in professional photographers, why not just snap a few on your phone? Or, what we did in a small company making sales brochures, got to the dozens of sites where you can buy images for a couple of dollars each?
