A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Urban Outfitters use of photos (alien.top)

I recently came across some online articles that are 10-12 years old, that feature Urban Outfitters' marketing technique: using photos social media users tag them for selling products.

Last year I did TFP with a model and found out that they tagged UO who used my photo.

In the case for social media users, is this ethical? I get making money off of customers and bringing attention to their products, but is there a limit?

Can registering copyright stop them from using my photo? In my case, how do I proceed with this?

these sites usually make you sign off your picture rights by accepting their Terms

That's not how it works. You agree to let Instagram/Facebook use your images but that doesn't mean any one can use them.
