Then, obviously they don't feel that way about me, do they? If the models didn't feel that way about you, maybe you'd have about 140 girls up on your site, like me. (Ouch!)Originally posted by AaronM
How dare you base your decision on who to do business with because of their looks. If that is how everybody felt then you would never get any sales.

I've heard a rumor that Steve Easton is no longer with APIC. The email that Lensman posted seems to have been written by a Mr. Callahan. I always assumed that APIC=Easton, this does not seem to be the case anymore. Who exactly is APIC?Mr. Callahan is the director of APIC-Worldwide, NOT an attorney"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."

Also interesting in that email is the fact that Steve Easton is listed as one of the copyright holders being violated. I knew he used to be a contene provider but that was a long time ago.Originally posted by NetRodent

They are, however, a bunch of morons to try to strongarm Lens.

apic nearly put me out of business... sending me shit and getting lawyers involved about shit they couldnt even prove. in the end they just went away, no apology or reimbursement for anything.
their intentions may be good, but their methods and lack of respect for anyone but themselves pisses me off.

Who's still using Suze Randall pics? Jesus why do all her models wear those fucking ugly pastel pumps? Can't she afford more than K-Mart shoes for her models?Comment

Lack of respect? Ya think?
Look at this email he sent me:
Either way, your Webmaster has no rights.
You aren't doing me any favors, I'm not the one who will be without a job.
If it wasn't for APIC. none of you wannabe photographers would have jobs. You couldn't make it in the magazines, the Web was 100% theft in 96, and now the content business supports the entire industry including trade shows etc.
APIC made that happen.Comment

I personally think her pics are contrived -- but she has/had a monopoly w/ most of the world famous celebrity models... that's why she has so much problem w/ theft. Can you blame guys for wanting to trade pics of their favorite supermodels? I don't condone theft -- but it's a reality that pop culture IS the internet -- and no APIC lawyer can do shit about it.Originally posted by AaronM

Believe it or not, Boneprone started his site as a HOBBY... and there still are a lot of enthusiast webmasters out there...

Not a good idea.Lens should tell APIC "I'll withhold payment until this is settled."
Lensman presumably has contractual obligations in regard to those payments, although I haven't read his particular set of "we don't have to pay you if you cheat" boilerplate.
It is true, I think, that complying with a properly formed DMCA notice can protect one against contractual damages that result from such compliance. It is also true that there is some dispute about the degree of specificity that must be found in a properly formed DCMA notice.
However, I don't think there can be any dispute that the vague piece of crap email Lensman posted here was NOT, by any stretch of the imagination, specific enough to be a properly formed DCMA notice. (Even assuming that Lensman's situation falls within the scope of the DCMA -- I have insufficient data to know.)
There is a very specific subspecies of lawyer that THRIVES on making insupportable legal threats because it is, as a class, simply too lazy to make supportable ones, and too arrogant to feel the need. Such lawyers are a blight upon the profession. I spit on them. Hock. Ptooie.Offering sponsored blog posts and custom writing services.Comment

You've got to wonder at the mentality and IQ of the people running APIC. The service IS needed on the Internet but these people just haven't a clue. As was mentioned above they can rarely even write an e-mail without typos and bad grammar in nearly every sentence. They're quite frankly a joke. Maybe somebody with a little more sense and legal savvy will set up a decent service and put these clowns out of business. There's certainly an opening there.Ignorance is never bliss.

I had to deal with APIC myself due to a Candid Clicks webmaster who was using stolen content.
Just like Lens I asked them the same questions, and of course Steve being the rude unprofessional person that he was would say things like
"Stop wasting my time, I have many other important emails to send out...it's pretty obvious that you're new to the business since you are unwilling to cooperate"
I'm neither new to the business, nor was I unwilling to cooperate. I was simply asking for basic information. Steve was also very unhappy when I told him that I was going to contact the webmaster first, asking for a license, before canning his account.
Steve is the biggest dope I've had to deal with. He goes on rambling how I'm wasting his time, yet he was the one to contact me first wasting my valuable time with his rude emails.
I wish I still had the email conversions handy, would have been pretty funny to post here.
But yeah I have agree with the rest of you, Steve is a unprofessional clown who I'd be embarrassed to represent for me if I were a content provider.Comment
