Hi. Just want to alert you all that I have posted this week's new albums on my site. Free site. No ads. Just great photos. www.boopdeedoop.com Posted by Hal (Member # 3484) on :
Just wondering if you have the permission to post those copyrighted photo sets from all those large paysites...? If not you could get into legal trouble.

No permission, but I do post on the site my contact link, and if any of the owners want the photos taken off, I will do it. I also do not post whole sets, but usually 8-12 photos from a set, so although I provide no links, the websites name is on each photo. It is more like free advertisement for them. I have no problem removing photos if that is what any of them want me to do.

I Want to add one more comment to this: I make no money from this site. I spend money and time to keep it up. It is basically no different than posting photos on a forum, or giving links to the photos that you upload to a server like Imageview or what-have-you. The only difference is that it is my own website. If I were making money from sharing the photos, then it would be another matter entirely.

Thanks for your replies. Why don`t you just write the paysites a short mail and try to get the permission to post the pics? Then everything will be fine. Because in comparision to an Imageview/messageboard account your full name is traceable via your website address (just do a WHOIS search). In my country I would probably get sued for posting pics from large paysites without consent, no matter if I´m making money off it or not...but maybe things are different in the US.
