always blaming it on the designers, got to love that shit

Yea, and from the looks of things, they might as well check the entire database, who knows which "DESIGNER" used other images they had no rights to use.

Excuse me but I've done a fair bit of design work for various people and programs over the years and I've always used content that the client provided me, not images I went and grabbed from somewhere else. Put it this way... had I done any work for your company I would have asked for access to your own legally-owned stash of content in order to find what I needed to work with OR you would have sent me the images you wanted me to use, period.

All insinuation of blame on your designers aside, the responsibility is ultimately yours (the program owner or owners). That is an inarguable fact. Nice that you admit it, but if you're going to also play the "rogue designer" card at the same time, and assuming you're being truthful about that, maybe you should consider this: If you are currently using designers who are prone to grabbing content that doesn't belong to them to create banners for clients then maybe just maybe you should find yourselves different designers?

CD Smith is right, anytime i get designs done, they want you to provide the content, they dont go out of their way to make banners from images that dont belong.

It's really interesting how when we tried to do this privately nothing got done. A nice big thread on gfy and all of a sudden they are willing to pull all the infringing content and wipe out all their banners to be safe.

hahaha... the "rogue designer" defense.

I thought this one went out in 99' or so. making me feel a little nostalgic



its simple... a designer needed images for design. ANYONE that has designs done KNOWS this. you knew this. you know this. and you knew images were being jacked from anywhere and everywhere and you didn't care before the fact. you either told him to do it, or it was done with your knowledge being that you didn't supply images for design.

have you heard of statutory damages? if he had registered the images, he could be owning you right now with statutory damages up to $150,000.00 USD per violation.

damn.This is fucked up.

Ah yes, the power of GFY.

When used properly it's almost godlike-uncanny.

Funny I just removed from their list (i think)..... Can't get removed from the "unsubscribe" procedure but if you post a whole
shitload on GFY and email every abuse@ under the sun, for some reason they remove you lol.

:uhoh:arcadefre

lollllllllllllllllllll

top notch stand up guys at shows

I am surprised the God Dean doesn't even know how to deal with this shit by now. We get monthly pay checks from 11 or 12 different companies for this stuff, Yeah it is pretty minor stuff, 50-200 each but it all adds up and the minimum is 3 years. Look into it and search the web and pay someone else to do the dirty work, We only get 40% and it pays both my car payments

this has been an interesting read.

LMFAO, i can't believe people do this shit....

just get them blacklisted from google, that will shut them down.. then they won't need to steal content..

it's easy and simple....

i've had people steal my shit before, and it's easy to report them.. BAM within a week they are out of google.

Lmfao!!!!!

Looks like i might as well run through everything they have to look for problems.
Im stunned that they would do this....

There is no question as to how they got that content either!
Stolen, just loved it and figured what the hell...
No way a designer would have attempted this with content of that calibre

Pretty lame excuse...

If you didnt give the content to the designer to use and all the sudden you have goods riddled with content...

you cant blame that on the "trust factor"

HORRIBLE attempt at scooting out of the way of the bullet.
