Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Turkey

Hi! I am a video game artist looking for work. Last February, I applied for several jobs by e-mailing or uploading my portfolio to some companies' web sites. My portfolio was a very amateur one and even though the focus of each image is a piece of work done by me, some of the images contained art done by other people/company. Now I noticed that I did not put a disclaimer to give credit to owners properly. I did not get a job with that portfolio anyway so I have not signed anything regarding it. The companies still have my portfolio though. Can this situation cause any trouble on my side?

Thanks

I; don't think have a situation at the moment for yours. But if you have noticed that some of yours portfolio use with your names, send a warning without losing time. Also if you have a license from owner (works) you should say to them add the owners name. And if you don't have a liecense for this works you should say to them, you don't give a permission for use your name under this works. ( you can use post office for this)
