Posting Of Pay Site Images - All Read.

Whether you like my tone or not is irrelevant.
Let me explain to you as your obviously unaware of intellectual copyright law so you may better understand it and won't have to appear so ignorant in arguing against it.

The sample you gave:
http://galleries.hotwendywilliams.co...lisa/i=1834419

All those photos belong to Wendy Williams. She has produced these galleries for her affiliates to make sales to her sites. Nobody has permission to steal those images, from her server and post them elsewhere. It's theft and any host that puts those images up, can be punishable by law. Most companies affiliate programs have strict Terms and Conditions on the usage of material.

This content is NOT free. You can watch an advertisement on TV which based on your argument is "free" but you cannot take the content of that advertisement and use it to your own purposes.

There does not have to be a copyright statement on a page. Wendy holds the intellectual copyright to that content.

I don't care what YOU think is sufficient and fair. I'm asking for people to respect producers copyright, including our own and show a fair amount of images. YOU are technically breaking the law if you upload content that doesn't belong to you.

I respect your opinions if you don't think this would make a difference to our business but I've been very successful in this business for over 12 years and in my opinion, it does make a difference and that's what I'm asking for the help of the board. More aggressive companies or companies who aren't part of the tgirl culture may simply DMCA the owners of this board and demand that all content must be removed - and the owners, legally, would be forced to oblige.

If you don't like that, then just don't post anything.
