When Good Links Go Bad

Funny they used my photo, I’m not involved with the event:

That photo was taken at the Irish fair in Irvine, CA this past summer where I was doing demos as a representative of the SoCal pipers club.

*** MAE added after the thread had several posts, since it may be confusing… to those new to the thread, originally, the link above had a picture of me from an related piping event in California, a copyrighted picture taken by a 3rd party and used without permission, deep linked directly to my site. It was this one:

Copyright by “GT”? :confused:

It’s the legs. Blatant beefcake advertising … :laughing:

GT is Gar Travis, who was the photographer at the Irish fair.

I feel so dirty and objectified…

Turns out they are deep linking directly to my personal site without asking permission, so maybe today I want to have a picture of my donkey Eeyore…

OK- I was wondering. A donkey..where is this leading us?? No Michael. Something is amiss.

Just to be sure here–did you find this article while searching for Piperlink or something? The link you provided is for an article for the concert happening in Minneapolis later in October, not Milwaukee.

Oh my, you’re right this is for the Piperlink concert in Minneapolis not Milwaukee… sorry about that… lets move this to another thread.

I saw Piperlink in the article and didn’t consider that the same concert was being presented in several cities…

(embarassed)

Michael

Fixed! :laughing:

That’s fair: cruel but fair.

I have alerted the pub. and sent them something more appropriate (nothing against your donkey).

Wow! Nice ass!

Wow! Nice ass!

Father d’Arcy…you been making trips to Mexico on Fri nites???

Michael is a miss? :confused: :astonished:

I wouldn’t have minded so much if they had just copied the picture and hosted it on their site, but that they are deep linking to my site, that means they are using my webspace bandwidth allotment, which is limited by my ISP and not all that high.

Try it now:

Hopefully, that will get their attention… :slight_smile:

LOL- nice hat

Fun while it lasted, the last photo was:

He’s such a cute little donkey, nice set of pipes on him:

Contact them, tell them you object/fart/claim rights/need $$$/or at least a mineral water (mango flavored)/ to their use of your image. Sit back, and let the bank account swell. :laughing:

He may be messing with his regulators, but he’s thinking about donkeys.
