They do a very good job on this for a very very reasonable monthly fee, so all of this pretty much comes out of the blue at me.

Something seems to have gone terribly wrong somewhere as we don't touch the tubes (we have lots of affiliates uploading our clips to those) and certainly not photos on blogs or Flickr posted by comedians featuring artistic photography.

I'm checking in with Ella at Degban to see what may have happened here and will report back on this asap.

p.s. please always feel free to contact me directly as I don't follow GFY fastidiously. [email protected] is my direct email addy.
Gorman is a very popular comic here and it is certainly getting you a lot of negative coverage, 1,300 links on google about it and some chatter on twitter.

I'd make sure a lot of money to you is part of their "action plan"!

:D

37% of DMCAs are incorrect, and I guess when you have software doing it for you that percentage goes way up.
