OK, I see my last thread was deleted. This is not my house, so I will respect the rules of the mods.
I just want to add a last comment without mentioning any names.
First, I want to apologize to the community for making the last public copyright thread. As some of you have mentioned, this was better handled through PM. In my defense, those photographs cost us thousands of dollars and we've had to deal with many infringers recently.
Second, I also want to apologize to the webmaster for making that public thread.
You said you bought the pictures from someone else without knowing about their origins. Well, that happens to even the most careful webmasters, so that's something we all have to look out for.
You have since removed the infringing pictures. So thank you and I hope no hard feelings.
We really shouldn't be fighting against each other (my fault, again, as I started out sort of belligerent). Our common enemy is really the person who sold you those pictures.
He infringed our copyright and cheated YOU out of money and exposed YOU to legal risk.
I know you said you're not going to rat him out, but if you ever change your mind, let me know.
