:1orglaugh

where's the drama ?

Who owns this piece of shit.? .. time for a good old fashioned GFY lynching

=X

hi

Hi Grimshawn. How are you today?



:1orglaugh

fuckers :BangBang:

wtf their site's not down yet? :helpme

hmm maybe someone should send out 100million neonazi propaganda emails using this guys return address and linking to his site?

hahah

average uptime after that = less than 2 hours

Hmm, he's not doing anything illegal, maybe immoral, but not illegal.

Yes he is, permission was not asked to allow surfers to bypass the banners and advertising.

There's no law telling surfers to WATCH banners and advertising. And there's no terms and conditions on the gallery pages saying that watching banners are required in order to watch the pictures.

If you don't like programs like that, protect yourself against it.

actualy, most of my galleries have copyright statements stating that no part of the gallery may be reproduced in any manner. This program is reproducing them to surfers hard drives though their program. So techinicaly there is now a problem. I don't have to protect if I don't want to, mind you I will be adding that shit to htaccess but I would rather see the company get shut down, End of story. And if you want to get really techinical abotu it. I saw sponsor content get downloaded to my folder with that program. 99 percent of sponsors clearly state that a link to their site(s) must be present. This program shows no links to any sites except their own page where surfers pay them for the program. Where's my cut... this is going to get ugly. I won't rest until they are gone. Simple.

nice finally a little drama

all emails to his domain bounce back.

It's not illegal but he's a candidate for our own brand of justice. This is a good reason to break his fingers or whatever the digital equivalent would be. There needs to be a porn mafia for this shit.

There are many technicalities about this that do make it illegal. But I won't bother getting into it. However you are right, a porn mafia is needed. Something has to give. We have no protection in this industry.

Well your own browser then breaks your copyright as it saves a copy of your work in its cache.

I know you and a lot of others are pissed about this guys program, but he's not the one having a problem, you are - Deal with it :)

yes but my ads are also in the cache. So I don't mind, Not like I could hold a browser financialy responsible. Besides, a browser doesn't interfeer with my business. TGPdump does.


I will deal wth it however I want. I know how to stop his program from grabbing my galleries. No biggie. I have the right to express that I have a problem with THE PROGRAM. To say I have a problem in the way you stated is treading on my already limited patience newb. Don't get me started on you right now becuase you won't win. Too many people like you do nothign abotu shit liek this and just sit back and wait for someone else to do somehtign about it. You sit there and setup your htaccess and think you did such a gerat thign while us more concerned webmasters work at shutting that fucker down. Don't even bother responding because it will fall on deaf ears.

Jesus, I must've stepped on a nerve of yours. LOL

(I like the namecalling btw, very mature ;) )

... and I don't think htaccess will work on this proggie.

its boneprone

How is something like this legal? They're stealing copyrighted images, aren't they? Forget the fact that they're bypassing banners. They have no license to use these images or to present them in way, shape or form, or am i missing something?

The program is downloading pictures and presenting them in some form... Hey, just like a browser.

It would be illegal if the program reproduced these images on another site or in another form. But its not. It's representing the pictures as they are. Not altered or anything. Just like a browser.

I thought I politely told you to shut the fuck up. You're out of you're league here. Where there is a will there is a way. There are many legalities about this that can be applied. Galleries with copyright notices wil take care of that.


and what the fuck is that shit in your "www" profile link? What good is linking to a surfer fpa trap on a webmaster board going to do for you? Are we suposed to be impressed with your design skills now or something?

Step back man... we are on a mission to make this guy's biz miserable. If you don't like it... stay out of this thread. Oh, and btw, we have shut down tamer sites than his for tamer reasons that interfeared with our bottom line.

and yes you stepped on my nerves, people that just sit back and "Watch" are not 100 % correct in the head.

Digital Millenia Copyright Act prohibits this kind of thing, but there must be a dozen of them available all over the web, including on download.com and tucows and other free download sites.

Any decent programmer could write one for windows in about 30 minutes then polish it up in about an hour and have it up on all the download sites by the end of the day....

oh and cali, to get more technical about it.... the program IS displaying them in another form. I dont see my banners, desing, or layout that I see in http://collegeagecuties.com/freegall...y/indexgal.htm if these pics are downloaded to the surfers hard drive.

I also see the program breaking my terms. Look at bottom of page and at source code.

This is asuming the program grabs pics from this gallery, that would put them in hot watter. If the program grabed those same pics from someone else's gallery that promotes socal coeds on a totaly different gallery, this has nothing to do with me. But if this gallery gets parsed by that software, bingo, they are in the wrong. I am interested in making sure nobody has to worry about this shit happening to them. Or am I totaly mistaken and full of shit this morning for wanting to get rid of a piece of shit like that?

Hey I don't care actually. Just found it funny that a bunch of you guys will do all kinds of illegal things to put him out of his biz (as you call it) - What he did was making a browser to browse pictures, just like the IE or Mozilla.

You don't know what kind of action I do to protect my shit, but you assume I just "sit back and watch".

Well, one thing I didn't do, was coming into GFY and whine like a cry baby.

Are you helping to fight off sites like this? All I see is you saying it's ok because it's suposedly legal. Just shut up now. I won't stop unless someone unplugs my pc.

Fucking bastards. Fuck em! Let's prevent it now :)

Does anyone know exactly which tgp's this thing parses?
