thats a good question - the band or record company might probably have purchased all the reproduction rights to the work.Originally Posted by Ice
What would be helpful would be if the site could somehow offer a section of "clip art" that was ablew to be used that they actually had permission to be used as such (either work where the band owned the rights or people had waived theirs)
DEATH TO STEALLERS!!!!!!!!
DIEEEEEEEE DIEEEEEEEEE
fuckin' bastards. >:[
Yeah that would be a good idea. People could take those images and use Photoshop and the like to create lots of new images that look nothing like the original.
a good article on Photography copyrights -

i just found quite a few of my pictures on there, and am reporting them all. thanks to greedy kids, i will no longer be sharing any of my future afi pictures/videos. i hope they're happy.
Well I feel like a piece of crap now.
I've uploaded other people things, but I said they were not mine, will I get in trouble for that?
possibly - if it is reported you might have your account deleted.

my condolences - believe me I understand.
I have a feeling I will no longer be posting any new AFI photos either - I take photos of many bands but I have never had so many problems as with fellow AFI fans - perhaps it is because many are too young to understand concepts like "Intellectual Property Rights". I'm sorry to see kids today growing up with no respect for other people's work.
And it's even more infuriating to see a company running something like this where they appear to make no attempt to verify authorship and will *REWARD* people for how much they can steal and repost! This is just a bad, bad idea, I really can't believe the band would intentionally start something designed to rip off fellow fans but I'm not so sure that their management would care.
I have yet to receive a response from QiShare after 48 hours (I guess that's understandable if they have a lot of issues to deal with regarding email). But the weekend is now here so I guess I won't get a single word on this issue until Monday, earliest.
