Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / February 2007D-MACS PICS: FINALLY !
A little birdie from Down Under just e-mailed me telling me that Douglas has finally posted some of his pics for us, including the two test shots from his 20D - FZ50 test. http://www.pbase.com/photosbydouglas So I guess I'll have to eat a piece of Humble Pie and commend D-Mac for finally sharing some of his work. Way to sack up, mate! >A little birdie from Down Under just e-mailed me telling me that > Douglas has finally posted some of his pics for us, including the two [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > for finally sharing some of his work. > Way to sack up, mate! I must say that I do feel sorry for the poor family that he photographed, hope he gave them a refund. They would have to be close to the worst family portraits I have ever seen. :A little birdie from Down Under just e-mailed me telling me that : Douglas has finally posted some of his pics for us, including the two [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] : for finally sharing some of his work. : Way to sack up, mate! Open letter to PBase: Recently Bret Hogan, also known as Bret Douglas a client of yours,( http://www.pbase.com/bret/profile ) illegally downloaded, modified and re posted images of mine using my name in gallery. The link he subsequently posted to newsgroups is: http://www.pbase.com/photosbydouglas I am Douglas MacDonald, A Professional Photographer operating from Brisbane Australia. The images were lifted without my authority, despite clearly marked notices they are copyright image ...from my web site: http://www.photosbydouglas.com His actions are in violation of Australian and US Copyright law. If you continue to host these photographs. I will instruct my lawyers to commence legal action against PBase and Hogan under International copyright laws. I hope such action will not be necessary and you will take action to satisfy my complaint. I await your urgent attention. Douglas J. MacDonald, Queensland Australia GMT + 10 hours.

I await your urgent attention. Yes I'd be worried about such damning evidence too, and yet you still have other details on your web site showing your misunderstanding of photographic issues? Why did you bother at all, when you have proven nothing except your inability to conduct a proper comparison?

Yup you wouldn't want that damming exif information getting out now would you Hahahahahaha pwned  Signature"My country, right or wrong," is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case.

Are those not your photos? I'm a little confused. It says "Douglas MacDonald" right there on the web gallery. Isn't that you, D-Mac? Surely no other self-respecting photographer would claim those awful pics. Is it possuble under Australian law to sue yourself? How about to f.ck yourself? : On Feb 9, 2:15 am, "Douglas MacDonald" <photosbydouglas- : gro...@yahoo.com.au> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] : Is it possuble under Australian law to sue yourself? : How about to f.ck yourself? Your time is coming Bret. Watch the mail box. I really didn't think you'd stoop to stealing someone else's images as retaliation for not getting your way. Pretty childish stuff mate. Wait until you hear what PBase has to say about the IP address from where the site was set up... It would seem, based on your theft of my gallery, probably all the images you claimed were yours are more than likely stolen from someone else too. What a swine you really are. Wasting our oxygen too. Douglas On Feb 9, 6:56 pm, "Douglas MacDonald" <photosbydouglas- gro...@yahoo.com.au> wrote: > Your time is coming Bret.

Wait until > you hear what PBase has to say about the IP address from where the site was > set up... You must suck at poker, as well. I kinda doubt that pbase tracks IP addresses. However, they do require an e-mail address so maybe you should check out whose e-mail address the site is linked to. Assuming you didn't set up that site yourself, whoever did must be having a good laugh at your expense right now. After seeing your horrid photos once again, I know I am. "Bridezilla!" LOL! http://www.pbase.com/photosbydouglas/image/74145989 >Assuming you didn't set up that site yourself, whoever did must be >having a good laugh at your expense right now.

That PBase galley is gold. Thanks for the heads-up. Great work, Douglas.

And I see you admit that the photos on the PBase gallery are in fact yours, Admitting there is a problem is the first step in getting help, and lets face it, you need help. Now calling someone a thief, even on Usenet is likely going to see a couple of letters arriving in YOUR P.O. Box, especially considering that you, weather you like it or not, are a publicly traceable identity. Lets face it, you have your contact details plastered all over your web site. As to who the real Oxygen thief is, I will leave that up to the readers judgment. Signature"My country, right or wrong," is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case.

In the fact that they were posted without the permission of the copyright holder. How it was done is irrelevant. (But Dmac not wanting people to see photo's *HE* originally posted for people to see, is funny none the less :-) MrT. > (But Dmac not wanting people to see photo's *HE* originally posted for > people to see, is funny none the less :-) I find that point extremely funny. It would appear that, to Douglas, if someone else puts something on the web it is fair game for him to copy and post. If he posts something on the web, he's upset if people look at them, let alone mirror them onto pbase to save him some of his precious bandwidth! > : the funny thing about this....

ROFL > : > : kosh > > Dead as in removed by PBase for copyright infringement I was curious if they were removed for this reason rather than outright embarresment.... woul dnot quite be his style to be embarressed though kosh > I was curious if they were removed for this reason rather than outright > embarresment.... would not quite be his style to be embarressed though Of course they were removed because D-Mac was embarrassed for anyone to see them. What other possible reason could there be? I don't see why he was so upset with the pbase site. It was just free pub for him and his pics. He got more exposure in 3 days than his own site did all year. And he didn't have to worry about those troubling bandwidth limitations that his cheapo provider limits him with. One would think that with D-Mac's supposed wealth, he could afford a decent web provider. All his phony bluster about "identity theft" and "copyright infringement" is a load of hooey. The images were clearly labeled with his name and nobody profited by the enterprise that I can tell. The only folks benefitting from the site were the people who clicked on the links and read all the funny comments. They were rewarded with laughter so severe as to cause snot bubbles to come out. Almost as funny are his current threats to involve the FBI, the NSA, James Bond, ASIS, MI6, Interpol and Mossad on the case. "Don't sweat the terrorists, boys, there's a guy on a boat getting laughed at that we must deal with urgently!" > All his phony bluster about "identity theft" and "copyright > infringement" is a load of hooey. The images were clearly labeled > with his name and nobody profited by the enterprise that I can tell. Which does NOT make any difference. It IS still a copyright infringement. What it does affect is his abilty to claim damages in court. I sure hope he is not expecting to cover his legal costs :-) > The only folks benefitting from the site were the people who clicked > on the links and read all the funny comments.

Yes, it is good for a laugh at least. :-) MrT. > the funny thing about this.... I have not read this thread until > today.... all of the links to images are dead!
