WTF?
The world is filled with assholes -- and dumb people who listen to them. Apparently some asshole reported that some photos I posted on my webshots gallery were not mine. Then, the dumb people at webshots deleted my photos and sent me an email on the wonderful thing they did.
Thanks for uploading photos to Webshots.Hey, but at least they were being sincere about it. I don't get it. Can I just randomly report copyright infringement without proof and have the webshots reactionary response of having other's photos deleted? What was offensive about the photos I posted? They were not special. Just a bunch of weeds for crying out loud. Anyway, I posted the images back. I've asked webshots for an explanation to redeem themselves. If I don't get one by the end of day today, my list of assholes will grow.

Thats crazy, what proof did they have that they were not yours. Also the ask for documantation that they are yours where the hell does one get that. I host my own photos so no one can take them away (unless you count the time my hosting company dleted everything because they tried to bill my old credit card with out asking me first)
ReplyDeleteI would like to second that WTF motion, and also, just out of curiousity, wonder who the anonymous one was who framed those pictures of yours ... did that person actually think those pictures were THEIRS or what? I happen to know where he took those pictures, and that he DID take those pictures. Someone's got a lens up their ass and nothing to do with their time if they spend their time going around looking for "plagarised pictures".
