it's Sarah Peachez - why did u add your own watermark to her content?
one of my staff did it... they do it to a lot of pics... nobody is trying to steal content or say they took the pic... it's on our site... if she complains we'll gladly remove it...

Translation: It's not my fault, it's someone else's fault... I have a huge staff, so it's not my fault... and my staff does it to a lot of pics so it's okay and not my fault. It's on our site, so it has our watermark but no one is trying to steal content or say they took the pic, so it's not my fault. If she complains we'll remove it, otherwise we won't. Did I mention that it's not my fault?

So one of your employees took an image that you didn't have rights to use, placed your own watermark on it and threw it on your website? Correct? They do it to alot of photos you say?
By admitting your staff is doing so, you are not protected by the safe harbor of the DMCA

totally unnecessary dude... I'm not one for arguing, and if I make a mistake and it's pointed out to me I correct the mistake... Never claimed to know everything and I'll be learning stuff to the day I die... One reason why I joined this forum was to learn stuff from other webmasters... So instead of me arguing about a mistake I made I'll just correct it... thanks...
How are you going to fix it? By copyrighting all the stuff you stole?
all the stuff I stole? naw son... the pictures on the site that are not gossip we have written (electronic) permission from the models and photographers if we didn't do it ourselves...
what's your problem...? I just stated I'm not looking to argue... I'm an easy to get along with person and if I make a mistake I fix it... why are you being such a smart ass?
yeah actually it's not, and I know about that... (just ain't had the freaking time to fix it) it's basically just up for Google to find... you as a webmaster will notice it but 99% of viewers will not...

Yep I know, just thought i'd bring it to your attention incase you didn't know.
thansk Pseudo... lol thanks for not being an asshole too... I love helpful information ;)
Given the fact that you are relatively new around here and do infact have rights to most of the content on your website, I found it hard to believe you would knowingly steal content for one section of your website and leave yourself open to legal consequences.
My recommendation, turn it into a user submitted website. And read up on DMCA

hmmm? okay... actually then we've been on the right track... ours is user submitted too (the gossip section) and I actually have joined affiliate programs for models who I haven't gotten permission from... The modeling section I've gotten permission from every single one of them AND their photographer (if we didn't do it ourselves)... But for the main part, the gossip section doesn't have watermarks on any pictures
But once again you just gave me some ideas and some stuff I'll look out for... now this is the reason I've join.. thanks again Pseudo....

Signing up isn't enough (obviously), just to be clear, you still need to place a link somewhere in the post to their official website. Or a banner. Or something. For example, you can keep up that sarah peachez post if you added a link to her site in there somewhere, throw in your affiliate code and it's another source of revenue.
If youre going to mix that section with affiliate (self submitted content) with user submitted content, i'd just stay away from watermarking all the content in that section. Plus theres really no need.

no I agree, that's what we did... for models in that section we haven't gotten permission from (it's VERY few) we actually have a link to their website, twitter etc and their is NO watermark on it... I believe one model was that chick with the biggest tits in the world.. (I can't remember her name) but there are no logos on it and it's linked to her site...
That section now is almost 100% user submitted... even the cell phone pictures... I also agree on the no watermark in that section too...

I want to add that I am no expert when it comes to DMCA but I only assume you need some form of contact for reporting infringements. I did a quick scan and didn't see anything of the sort but to be honest, i didn't look too hard. This is why I suggest reading up so that you know 100% that you are protected by the safe harbor of the DMCA
