dad_savage Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question. However I recently posted a very large number of Bare Necessities pictures in the Teresa Moore thread. I had heard there was an issue with these images but I have seen them posted elsewhere. I received a PM asking that they be removed. Stating that "La Senza, Bare Necessities, Marks And Spencer and Heine pictures are not authorized by the photographers and constitute infringement," and that the admins are aware of this. I'm happy to take these images down if this is the case. However given my comment, and the nature of the message I'm also aware, this being the internet, that this could simply be someone playing a prank. Can I get some feedback as to whether this is in fact the case, that these images (whether or Teresa specifically, or all images published by said labels/stores) are not allowed? I apologize in advance if this delay should exceberate any issues caused if that is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prettyphile Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 What I don't understand is why a photographer would care about photos that are 6-7 years old, have already been posted on the website which means chances are hundreds of people already have the pictures and they've probably been posted all over the place over the years. Not sure if the photographer is aware but one something hits the internet it's fair game, and it's kinda retarded to ask for such old content to be taken down imo . Personally I wouldn't of removed them, but till this is resolved I don't want BZ to get into trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCouture Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 ^ I concur with everything you said (Y)Also, from what I understand all those image were easily accessible to the general public---they can be found via a basic internet search.To reduce any unnecessary complications it was best we removed them.

Ramsfan Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Maybe in the future photographers will be joining this forum? I think they are sometimes overreacting to the piracy problem to the point where you could question if the US First Amendment still exists.

modelknowledge Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 It's probably not the photographer really anyone can get images removed . Also image hosts sometimes go busy and images get lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsfan Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I think the photographers should be watermarking all of their work to be honest. Also having photographers sign up and posting on here would help them about controlling members to not post numerous copyrighted pictures in threads.

modelknowledge Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 But clients don't want their catalog images watermark. They pay big money for those pictures. Photographer is entitled to protect their work. I just don't understand why they would take it off of her because the people on here aren't profiting from their work, they are just appreciating their work.
