General

There are a great many who appear on both sites quite happily and enjoy both sites for what they have to offer. Some get unhappy with one site and then move to the other sometimes too.

As for the legalities of stealing pictures without consent, I'm a little foggy over what is and isn't really allowed. What I can say is that it is immoral if nothing else. That said, as many have pointed out to me, this is the internet and it happens all the time, from Facebook, Myspace, Here, Curvage and just about any site you can name. That doesn't make it right, but it does seem to be something that would be near impossible to stop. We on this site used to be plagued with men pretending to be women and to some degree this still must be going on, it's something that Scrambledegg, in particular, really hates.

I try to go along with the flow on both sites, but do feel there is one part of Curvage that I don't like and that is the Candid Camera feature, as it just seems creepy. On the whole though, the site has many very decent people on it, that's most definitely the case with the moderators/fun police. I applaud "Sleeping with the Enemy's" attemp at building bridges. However, I fear this issue will not be solved until administrator's on this side and Fun Police on the other side, become members of both sites and can solve some differences of opinion and not as just slanging matches, but as a respect for each site. That though, may take some time.

"I'm not bothered by it, so I don't understand why anyone else is."

It is technically stolen if your photographs are being used without permission; but that also is a lot quicker and easier to say than, well, the full and more accurate statement.

So okapi
You wouldn't mind if your photos were used on a website called ImageFAP or made into Vore fetish photos or a comic about flatulence ???
because these are some of the things ive seen using my photos
and although I personally don't mind because I think its hilarious I can understand why most people would !

It's not reading between the lines when it's exactly what you said.



Intellectual property. Copyright is held on it by its creator- in this case, that would be the photographer or the subject, unless copyright is waived in the terms and conditions here- and reposting those photos without permission of the copyright holder is piracy.



It's language that I've been using for a good long while. The intent and meaning of it isn't really vague, and it's certainly not adopted from supporters of oppressive legislation.
