Comments

Nice to see others' comments about this travesty. I've been battling Photobucket for a few weeks regarding their thievin' ways. They don't seem to want to give out a phone number...no kidding? They dodge and weave in emails, saying that they can't find the images I've referenced, even though they've been provided with their own image numbers, screen shots, etc. Now, I am being asked to provide proof of copyright for these published and licensed images! (These images are sold worldwide with my name on them.) And Kodak should be ashamed of themselves: On their tandem site, I can buy my own image that someone else has uploaded without permission and create a t-shirt or mug, or large print. Who makes the money? Does the primary thief get any, or just the seconday thieves, Photobucket and Kodak Gallery? The victimized artist gets nothing.

I'd like to start a class action suit if only to hurt both Photobucket, Kodak, and the original thief enough to stop this print-someone-else's-images-for-free garbage. I'm not hosting a free service, they are. They need to do the hunting for copyright infringement, not the artist or photographer. Any other ideas?

Oh no! Not again!! I had no idea about photobucket!

again! Those a*holes.
I'm glad I became aware of all these image thefts at an early stage. Even if some are deliberate thieves, others think what they're doing is so darn justified. It's online = it's free. Hey, there's a nice car out on the street, I think I'll go take it! What do you mean it's not okay, they left it there for others to see!
