This is bull if it is gone. Freedom of speech man. Criticism and parody are all covered under fair use. Don't let a few whimpering magicians make you bavk down.

LOL, even though I don't really care whether the site is up and online or not, I see it from both ends. Although it is 'Free Speech' etc, it doesn't make it right to use other peoples info or photos and anyone who had a problem (ie. whimpering magicians) with there stuff on the site had the right to be; after all it's there pictures. Now if you submitted your own photo, then hey, that's cool but from what I remember vs. what it is now, the site didn't come across as friendly as it might seem to be recently. That's just my perspective at least.

I think the only issue I had with the site was where they got my photo from. (Besides the legal issues.) Also, the comments on my photo were not nearly as bad as some of the other's.
The photo was "taken" from my Facebook page, as that is the only location I have used it. It was not used by me as a publicity photo, although now I guess you have to be careful of what you share, anywhere!!! And Facebook is now more than just a "friends" site. Had it been from my site I don't think I would have felt the same. Anyway, it was fun. But as I indicated some were not treated very well on it, and it is perhaps for the best that it is now down.

I think you may misunderstand. Unless your pic on Facebook was private, you yourself put it out there.
Anything on the net is available to the public. So many people don't seen to get this, which leads to people putting TMI on their facebooks and such, then being upset when someone like their boss sees it. As for the site taking advantage of it, again, fairgame my friends. You may think it rude, but so what. Don't make stupid pictures of yourself available to the public unless you have a sense of humour about it. Criticism is fair use.

Whether it was "private" or not, does not come into the issue.
Actually "taking" photos off a site like Facebook is illegal. Remember when you uploaded a photo you were asked if you had the rights to the photo. In the case of a professionally taken shot that was paid for by me, I have a signed agreement with my photographer, and I have the right to use the photo. No one else, without my permission. Just because you can turn on a computer, and push a button doesn't mean everything on there, is yours for the taking. I can post my photo wherever I wish, but that does not give anyone the right to take it for their own use. But that being said, it happens! Here in Canada (at least Quebec) you cannot even take a photo that shows the face of anyone else and use it publicly. Google just ran into our privacy laws with their "street level" photos (blurred faces, license plates etc.) Anyway as I said it happens. And it is a good warning to all who use social media! Blair

Actually Blair, you are mistaken. Yes, Facebook asked that, mind you they also assume ownership of your pics themselves.
Now what you are talking about is copyright, which, yes, you do own, but copy right is exactly what I have been speaking of as well. Fairuse is something within copyright law. It governs, as the name implies, what is allowed and conciderd fair use of copyright materials. And parody, CRITICISM, and educational use are all covered. As for the second point you make, that is regarding privacy. Hence the problems Google street view is having. However, your pictures are being put up by you for public viewing. As such you are granting the public access to seeing you, with your permission. Now, as it is in the public, its now subject to Fairuse.

In fact, if this site was just putting up bad photos then it would not be legal ... but the bestiality jokes and what not allow the photos to be legally used. You may remember Ashley Dupree's MySpace photos being published everywhere ... as long as they were used in a story about her, it was legal for the newspapers to do so. Bottom line: if you don't want your photos criticized, don't show them to anyone. -JoeJoe
