I hear ya greenie...
I'm working on a deal with a guy who apparently has terrabytes worth of content (or access to) who wants to work a deal with me because he likes the idea behind my site. So we'll see how that goes.... I doubt i'll have problems with any of the pics i have on there because i've searched for most of them on tineye.com and there are 10's of sites that also have the pic posted up on blogs and whatnot.. Plus... they're user submitted...
Not saying that I wouldn't lose the court battle.. i would.. no doubt... but firstly, i'm still only at like 30 hits a day... maybe a little more on each site so i doubt anyone gives a F... and what i'm seeing through researching the subject is most the time the copyright holders (who are anal enough to search for every single picture they've ever produced on the internet through a service like tineye, and then put together a cease and desist letter) just tell you to remove it within 48 hours.. which i would absolutely do.
I'm not saying it's legal.. i'm just saying I think right now i'm ok... How would anyone that allows user uploads protect against copyrighted uploads?.. they cant.. it's too much work... it's not like the copyright owner is embedded in the meta information of the images... is it?
