Fucked with the wrong guy
 

I just owned a total scumbag.

I am a fashion shooter by trade, and another glamour website stole my images from my website, put their logo's on them and put it up on his site selling google adwords.

I'm kinda shocked it worked so fast. I contacted his server and he was down within 3 hours, and contacted google and his account was frozen another hour later.

This dude was stealing content from hundreds of fashion photographers websites, and acting like they are his.

Not anymore:1orglaugh

Thank you google alerts for giving me the heads up on the url:thumbsup

Nice job...

You have a firm pimp hand!

respect

Good work :)

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what?

Best part was, I emailed him and let him know what I was doing. Now he is emailing me and bitching at me. I fucking love it.:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

damn :1orglaugh

Awaiting Gideongallery's bullshit fair rights response.....

Post the email you received from him.
I hope you emailed him with a email you don't care about

post his emails!

I think I will keep the emails for my own entertainment. And yes I used an email I don't use @yahoo :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

What really pissed me off the most was that I had the images at 450 pixels high and this fuck resized them to 600 high. they looked like shit and then his fucking logo all over them. I'm sure he is making 50¢ a month selling glamour photography with adwords :1orglaugh

Nice job!

who was his host? what kind of proof that the images were yours did they ask for?

Good for you.

Good for you!

I am curious of the same thing... did they contact him first at all for proof of ownership?

Tell him to go fuck himself in the asshole... :pimp

Nice job, congrats!

lol that was a good job! ;)

good move man.

Good power move!

very well done

that's awesome that it happened so fast!
can't believe that anyone would think that they could just get away with that without anyone noticing!

kind of scary that it happened so fast.


...curious as to who the host/registrar was?

i meant awesome in reference to how fast he was able to get the that guy's server shut down and account frozen so fast....

Great work mate:thumbsup

what an asshole

haha... good job!

nice job bro!!! :):):)

Not awesome if he didnt have to prove ownership of the content and the site owner wasnt asked the same.

Pretty simple really for the host. The pics came from my site with my name on it with my copyright on the site and in the exif data of each file. Not too hard to prove, plus the fact that this fucker has over 100 other photographers shots hacked on the site too.

This ahole is a typical russian webmaster, but the only problem he had was that it was hosted in the US.

I thought for sure I would have to get my lawyer on this, but it took two emails and one phone call.

thank you google alerts for letting me know.:thumbsup

Let me guess, you are probably the same person always bitching about how tube sites are stealing "your" content.....right?

nice job!

well done! :thumbsup
