Just a sample of how APIC works: this happened to me with Suze Randall's content, I got one of those (in)famous APIC letters and I sent them a mail explaining that the material was licensed for use in the terms of Suze Randall's Pics4Clicks program. They answered back telling me I'd take the images off inmediately. I was pissed like hell, now, but still sent them another "good boy" mail, this time CC Suze Randall. What they did? They threatened my hosting because they were hosting "stolen material". The best part: a paragraph were they said something like I was worng because they "never make mistakes". I talk to Suze and she explained everything CC to my hosting and after some more mails and threats by these birdbrains, they stopped harrassing me with a final mail telling me again that "they never make mistakes". Today, if I see somebody from APIC personally and I have a fork in my hand, I drill it in an eye.
Anyway, beware of APIC, because "they never make mistakes"
. Ah, btw, they intended to do this joke twice after that and I simply ignored them and talk to my server and Suze (it's always about Suze
), I've no time for clueless dumbasses
Sad thing is the idea is great, it would be nice if somebody with an IQ higher than 16 could run a service like that. And the proof of their stupidity is that without the need of being an "APIC detective" I'd find no less than 1000 pages a day with stolen content. But they can't so go figure
