I have always known shit gets blown a little out of proportion on this board having worked for the company who owns it for a year but after reading this thread I now realize just how fucking stupid it can get.
I worked for Porn Profit for 3 years and I knew most of the people on staff. This company spends more money just managing their content than most of the companies on this board spend in total for the actual content they use on their sites/galleries. Not sure where the mistake was made but I am willing to put my reputation on the line when I say this HAD to be a mistake. If it was in fact the designer explaination it's a fairly easy concept to understand. Sometimes designers can be over-critical of the content they have to work with and in this situation many times they are simply overwhelmed by the amount of pics they have to sift through to find what they feel is "quality". It makes sense then that a designer might take it upon theirself to just go find a gallery of images already made up, download it, crop the watermarks, and redesign the layout. Would certainly save alot of time over the alternative which is sifting through gig after gig of pictures they don't feel make a good gallery. Not saying that this is the case here but for those insisting they don't understand why a designer would "scour the ineternet for hours" to find pics for a gallery obviously hasn't seen how many liscened pics they would have to scour through on the GT content server. Again, I have no idea what the particular case is here but I can tell you that I just lost respect for alot of people on this board for pointing fingers when they obviously have no idea what they're talking about. Why would a company knowingly steal content when they have millions of dollars invested in legal content and then go out of their way to show people galleries of those stolen pics? If people don't see how this was obviously a mistake on the part of Guerilla Traffic then they are seriously lacking basic common sense.
