photo coping, all right or not, or am I not a perv!

22 Nov 2007

not post a thread often these days, I find I am a little long in the teeth and not enough time on my hands.
I logged on to check mail, as I do usually once a week, and to manage my pictures as I decided to change them a little only to find one that I had forgotten about in my private collection, I do not even know why I tried but I did, and it worked to my shock and horror!
I copied and paste it! surprised

This then lend me to thinking confused

Can others do this?
So here are some I paste and copy earlier

Now I have not used anyone's face or body part, unless you include Markz, which is a cute little number!
Most sites I go on, all right ALL other sites I go on protect pictures so that this cannot happen, if you try you get a little warning, etc.
My QUESTION (I got there in the end)!
Do you think this should be possible or should the site protect people's identify?
Or do you not give a monkey's?
Although one could agree that it is a persons choice to upload a picture and therefore they make that choice knowing that people can copy to their computers, BUT do they know this can happen!
I have now deleted all my pictures but for my favourite one but I have kept this in private gallery.
I like to think that it is my choice to post, send a picture especially if that picture is a little naughty, or am I just to old fashioned?
A foot note to myself, I hate posting!

All pictures have your username across them as a watermark, so if someone was going to pinch it, they can't repost it anywhere else.

i know what you mean,
i actually thought , un till someone told me diferent that the pictures on here could not be lifted.
my pics are in private gallery, i changed it to this as soon as i realised there was a gallery that all could view. I know that explicit ones cant be viewed unless they are members, but the on ei dont want every one to see is my face pic, which isnt explicit. ( ive also since noticed that the site even use some explicit ones to entice the no paying members to sign up to see more of the same)
any way i digress,
yes i thought and i think the pictures should NOT be able to be coppied.
all other sites ive been on or am on, you cannnot cut and paste pictures.
xx fem xx ( even more selective who i invite to gallery now)

unless they sign up somewhere using the same user id as yours, or say oh yeah thats my old id, or print them off and email/ send to your work place.
how hard is it to alter the programe to stop them being lifted?

Oooo I didn't know that!

22 Nov 2007

i've had pics from my profile copied and printed out and shown to me along with " a little added extra" :wanker: by someone from this site in the past, i reported it to admin at the time asking why this was allowed to happen and was told there was nothing they could do :gagged:. the most worrying thing at the time was the face that my face wasnt blanked in the pics, as i thought the site was safe :shock: . i do think something should be done to stop this from happening, as not everyone reads the forums and may not know this can happen to them.

22 Nov 2007

All my pics are so blurry and pixellated when you zoom in that no one would want to copy them anyway.
I did it intentionally. Having said that, there are pics of me elsewhere online. Maybe I should watermark them?

22 Nov 2007

These days, nothing is completely safe :!:
Take care, Plim :shock: cool

22 Nov 2007

what about copying other peoples avatar onto your avatar, now that would be fun...... biggrin

22 Nov 2007

i didnt know this was posible until i was talking to someone on msn , i had only just giving them my addy and they comes on and says i have a pic of u :shock: i knew i had not sent them any pics so i asked them to send it to me which they did and surely enough it was a pic from here i was shocked at first but then figured if any one was stupid enough to try and pass my ugly mug of as themselves then good look to em

22 Nov 2007

ive had pics used of me on other sites that people nicked, these same pics were also sold on to a well know adult mag, not once but 3 times it turns out, that i know of. Ive also had the 1 someone mentioned where their "bits" were in the pic as well, or theyve printed em to wank over, i just laugh now n tell em to laminate em so they can wipe em clean wink

The “watermark” isn’t present on all pictures I’ve seen, maybe it’s a new-ish thing dunno

23 Nov 2007

Yes everything can be copied and saved if you know which bits of software to use.
We have Microsoft Office One Note which we use for work which is an incredible bit of software if used properly. It can capture anything on your screen just press a button and it saves it so, pics, msn pics, chat room convos etc.
Unfortunately nothing these days is safe so either show it with pride lol, or dont show anything at all - which is our choice(as is everyone elses) and this doesnt seem to prove any problem with our making friends to date.

The weatermark has been here for nearly 2 years, so it isn't a new thing. Any pics which were uploaded previous to this had the site name and user name across the bottom of them.
Sorry if this sounds harsh but I honestly cant imagine that anyone would actually think that any photos posted on an internet site could be safe from people copying them. There are also ways of getting copies of pictures where the right click has been disabled, so no picture is 100% safe, not even the ones on your PC at home.

23 Nov 2007

If you think copying of pics is bad, just be wary of going on cam. We heard the tale of someone downloading a random porn vid off somewhere (like you do!) only to open it and find it was them!!!!!
Just be aware that even cams can be recorded as they happen so if you don't want to be public stars be careful.

oh!

Sorry, I shall read though all that has been written and reply a little later, sorry a little rude of me to post and run BUT ..... Iv been in bed with a very bad cold sad

I tried relaxing on the soffa at one point in front of the fire but .... the TV tube blow, and it wasn't much fun lesson to the words and sound without the action so as I couldn't watch the porn it was back to bed for me!
I feel better so I shall read between now and bedtime ....... until later smile

Mel, The watermark is a good point, I know that this happens, but it doesn't stop someone copying and using the picture on another site as xx fem xx said.
xxfemxx good points, I also kept many pictures in my private gallery, ones which had my face on or were a little too much body parts showing :wink: It did not take me long from being on site to realise that this was a good idea, I also thought about which pictures I posted, etc. never a face one! If someone wanted to see my ugly mutt all they had to do was come alone to a munch to say hi smile

although they still had to get pass the cold front first before I would smile :grin:
As to the point of how hard is it to protect the picture, this is not the point, it is how much does it cost! At the end of the day the site has to weigh up what it is willing to do or not do, possible the thinking is that we are all responsible for our own actions and therefore it is our choice to post pictures. Plus you can protect but if someone has the right equipment/tools then there is no protection, as where there is a will there is a means and nothing is totally safe as stated by NaughtyCouple, Plimboy
I am not trying to have a go at the site here, just my point is: People should be a ware that this is possible, it may be good idea to place it on site for all new comers to read and learn, etc. Yes, we are all adults and therefore we as individuals choice what we do or do not do, but knowledge is the power of life and without it something very embarrassing may happen, like a neighbour or work colleague coming over to you stating that they wanked over you last night! (as mentioned by a few reply posts)
As I stated, we choice to post a picture therefore we may pay the high price one day, things to think about are what type of person you are, can you handle things if it comes out, who you work for, your neighbours and family could all see you in a position that your happy with at the time but do you want your grannie picking up a flyer off her hallway floor with this picture on it?
All I am saying really is think then post if your happy doing so :)
As said so well by Mistress_39: Show it with PRIDE :wink:

Possible your right about the internet and the way we should have thought about it but:
Call it innocence, or blind foolishness, but I never really thought about it until recently! Perhaps we should have known better but some of us like to think that you should respect others and their privacy, therefore it would never cross our minds to copy something that was not our right to do so, or perhaps we are just old fashioned fools smile

I think that it is just that I am getting a little more wise as to how the netwaves work or possible to how some men work on the net, I am not knocking men, Iv been lucky enough to meet some nice men off the net (including this site) but I have also had a lot silly mess around off some and this sadly happens to us all and it is a way of life.
The net should be a fun base to get to know others who have similar likes and wants as yourself, who you can meet and have fun with not just the bedroom every time although this is all some are looking for and I am not knocking it!
But whatever you do YOU should be SAFE, or at least I think so and your identity is part of your safety, weither on line or within your normal working day.

Fristly, can I just say 'nice picture'!
With things that have been changing within my life over the last 3 months this is what made me concerned, although my choices are just that and I shall stand by them once I get the ball rolling.
I shall try to remember your laminate line smile

:thumbup:
As we are all individuals enjoying a free life style with other open minded people, we all should be pretty safe with our life either it be private or working hours. My thoughts are that we should be able to do as we wish without any come back, and sadly this is not the case. Things that are personal, are just that and I think they should be safe, but they are not when there are idiots out there, so the main point once more is post only what your happy with.
I hope you asked them for your cut with the reward from the well known adult mag :) ... if not do so now with the added interest innocent

oh! Good point smile

Another warning time for others to think about!
Damn, I now have to think back to the three strip tease cam shows Iv done over the last year, only once did I know the man innocent

hi hunny

and the other two times I had a wee bit too much drink in me to wonder about it, although I was happy at the time and by the end of the few hours I was nakered :whistling: and I found a few toys on the floor the next morning as i woke with a rather large smile on my face :) so it will probably be best not to think about this one too much! lol

well, not until my dad turns on his computer and someone has sent it to him! I shall just have to cross my fingers and hope they only copied it for self wanking time :wink:

I would agree that not everyone one knows, which is the reason why I chose to do this post. The passing of knowledge is the way to make people think of their actions then act.
I think there is little they can do as it would cost, but someone will always find a way around it!

Either way it is your choice, but blurry takes all the fun out of it! wink

I also have pictures elsewhere on line, and I now know none of them are safe lol

and they are naughty ones!

This happened to me also, life sucks at times! Although if he was a cutie maybe a girl wouldn't mind! wink

All the more reason to be comfy with yourself and what you choice to do innocent

and lucky for me I am but my problem is the work that pays the bills that I have to careful of!

I just had a quick look to see if I was imagining things, it looks like the watermark only shows up on the expended picture, the smaller gallery picture can be copied without the watermark showing. Fair point about the internet though.

But whatever you do YOU should be SAFE, or at least I think so and your identity is part of your safety, weither on line or within your normal working day.

After all that has been going on in the news recently about protecting peoples privacy and personal information, I couldn't agree more.
Your pics are YOURS and no one has the right to use them for any other means (it is also against the site AUP) however, as in all walks of life there is always someone who wants to go that bit further and do something which is for their own gain. Whether that being stealing your photos, or stealing someone's identity (have to say,I wouldnt mind stealing Maidens bottom and swapping it for mine) it is still stealing.
Maiden, hope you are feeling better wink

Stormy, the thumbnail pics do have the watermark, but it isn't really visable until you actually look at the full size. The pics also have the site details written across the bottom. Ok, they can be cropped or the 'theif' could use the same user name on another site but I dont know of 'any' process which is 100% safe apart from not taking any in the first place. Even disabling the right click can be got around by print screen and other methods.
Sad that people do things like this or even worse, feel that they need to steal someones profile confused

26 Nov 2007

Another angle has come to my attention after speaking with a friend - apparently people can make money out of pay to view pics on certain websites.
The pics are supposed to be of yourself in various poses of your choice redface

but whos to know if no faces are shown confused

: :?: :?
Just want to say that our choice not to show is just that, our choice. There is nothing stopping people ripping off your pics when you send them privately either. Its just an element of risk that you have to assess but for god sake.........dont stop posting pics........... I love looking at profiles and am not put off by profiles with no pics...........I lurve to perve.............. :twisted:
