As I start to figure out what's happened, I sort of like the look of SG now -- actually, I will say this: I like it quite a bit -- but I'm concerned that because some people have complained about it, they've been "archived."
If "archived" means what I think it means -- which is that SG keeps using your images even though they've prevented you from being a member -- then I suspect a number of copyright suits are in the making.
And just a word of warning, if I'm "archived" for this comment, then prepare to spend some money. Because as an attorney, I can well afford to defend myself in court. And I haven't said squat yet about the fact that at least one model I shot here is no longer a member, but the images I took of her are still online, in violation of MY copyright, because although she has a 97% approval rating (last time I looked) for the set I shot, I was never compensated.
But if I'm "archived," that's just one of the issues that will be raised.
You have a decent enough site here. I've not really gotten from it what I wanted, but that's not really your fault -- except for the fact that I've shot images that have a 97% approval rating, but I got nothing for that, while you've benefited from showing them even after the member shut down her account -- but your treatment of members shows just how little you think of us.
We are, apparently, to be exploited, and (barely -- no pun intended) tolerated.
But not valued.
