Stealing photos from SP should be illegal?
posted 2 years ago
I reported it as well. I've had stolen photos (with my face showing) shared on parts of the internet without consent and it's infuriating. Nothing like getting a message from someone you know when you show up on their Tumblr dashboard.

That blog has been going on since 2008 and it’s full of SP pictures. I’ve posted there before, you basically send pictures to him and he will post them. I sent some of my pics before joining this website.
It’s not going to be so easy to stop this, the owner collects pictures from the blog members and posts them. If they crop out the watermark link and send them to him it’s almost impossible for him to know that they got them from here. He can even create a real profile with his face and just go about screenshotting everyone’s pictures on here and posting them, we’d never be able who he is amongst the huge number of us. I don’t think is reasonable to think it can be solved.

I honestly don't really mind all that much as long as my photos aren't being used to sell something or otherwise for-profit. Definitely agree that it's troubling when your face pics pop up on other sites — like when stupid 18 year old high school choices in cam chat rooms let to a full body nude popping up on the landing page of a few different porn sites.
However, I also think that it's slightly naive to have a hard line expectation of privacy when posting our pictures online, especially when our individual profiles aren't behind paywalls like on OnlyFans. That said, I would definitely first reach out to the poster and politely ask them to take down your photos before elevating the issue by filing a complaint.

this makes me furious.
this blog belongs to this blunove guy. if you remember, this guy also runs the twitter account that posts pics.
at least I have now a better contact possibility and to report and file claims. because twitter didn't do a thing!
it has nothing to do with "more blank profiles". it's been the same person. it can happen on any site; even worse on dating app where people collect private photos and can impersonate that person in another dating profile to collect even more private photos.
it's wildly against anything I'm for that you take pictures without consent and post them somewhere else. if you consented to this, that's fine. but this is not the case here.
I contacted the author and requested to take them down immediately.

posted by: jtalbot812if you find one of your photos that you have up loaded to Spandex Party on some other site..... what you can do is FILE A DMCA report.... esp if its on something like Instagram or Facebook.. They will have to take down the photos. you can do a google search on how to file a DMCA if you find any of your pics Stolen or used by someone else. If its another USER here on spandex party using your photos. Report them to the sp admin..

I guess the best way to prevent people from stealing pics on this site is to make it technically impossible. Like: no option for right-click over a picture, no possibility to drag a picture out of its frame (like on Instagram), and an anti-screenshot function (= you get a black image when you screenshot something - I've seen that on other websites).
Do you think some of this would be possible, Simon?

While it is obviously frustrating having people using your photos, I guess we all know that when you put something into the public domain you lose the capacity to decide how and where it will be used. No technology on the site can stop people from screen-grabbing images from their browser.
Thus - only post what you would be happy for people outside of this site to see.

This is why I don't have my face on any pics and never will, nothing against those who do. There is no real 100% technological means to block others from stealing pictures so it just comes with the territory, unfortunately.
Perhaps adding digital watermarks to the photos' EXIF data or other metadata while uploading to the site would at least provide a tracking method to confirm they were stolen from here but anyone savvy enough could also sanitize that data before posting. Doesn't really solve the problem though. I don't think anything fully could.
