| The Twisted Underground stealing auto photos and cropping out watermarks
Just a heads up to everyone, be careful of other people stealing photos and cropping out watermarks
The Twisted Underground stole pictures from Mayday Garage (They took the pictures of the red widebody NSX) and they have been doing post edits and post deletions. Twisted Underground cropped out Mayday Garage's watermarks for some S2000 photos. More info here: Original thread with posts deleted by Twisted Underground admin

Doesn't matter if he put his name at the top. He was never given permission to use the photos by the photographer. Cropping/editing/removing the watermark is even worse.

...so I guess revscene members are stealing photo's too, because I see tonnes of photo's/video's posted with no credit. Point is, OP made it sound like a big conspiracy..its just a photo of an engine bay, not something unique and artistic, and it was just posted on a discussion board, not a magazine...this photographer needs to lighten up.

Technically yes, the people who took the pics RS members post up randomly have the right to ask us to remove them.
Using someone's pics without permission is one thing, but removing the watermark really puts it over the top.

UH OH ALL OF RS IS GOING DOWN!!
Although this may be true, I think OP is overreacting provided credit was given.
As for permission, I don't think most pictures anyone posts on RS people have permission to post. Especially the "adult" photos.
Just like the movies we all download, the music, etc etc.

Unless the photographer intended to charge his work and faces weren't revealed, isn't this just more exposure?
As long as you aren't Hyde claiming you own half of the exotics in the world I don't see why this is a big deal.
I am saying all this as long as watermark isn't cropped/edited out.
