@ewen Ugh, this sucks. Seems like the public sphere (or rather, the open web) has become weaponized to such a degree that it's becoming hard to exist on there. I wonder whether the DMCA takedown requests are some crappy LLM-to-court-filing scripts that some shady outfit is running in the hope to shake you down. Indiscriminate patent trolling, now coming for the rest of the web. I don't have any good solution for you unfortunately, but I share your outrage. 7 comments
@ewen @moritz_negwer www.hurtigruten.com also has some lovely pictures of Norway. @ewen @moritz_negwer And then they apparently assume that you will file a DMCA claim against them to get to your images removed? Seems like they chose the most antagonistic way to do this.  This is the next level up from Marco Verch, who would merely sue people who incorrectly credited his CC2.0 images. Calling them leeches is an insult to leeches, they have uses. Hey hope things get resolved quickly for you. A slightly amusing thing for me though was when an external agency tried to argue against what I recommended and provided a (poorly written) contractors report to support their end. Half the uncredited references I had written (for work, so no name). Requested they provide the references to confirm. Probably got three times what I earn too I bet. |

Someone has an Only Fans account that at some point stole a bunch of photos (of Norway in this instance) and the list of websites they're claiming against read like a shopping list of stolen loot. My website doesn't even appear on the first page.
