Shall i use a bot, like him, to answer ?

This digital desires guy sounds like a bit of a douche:

"Everybody who knows me knows I have a bit of disdain for the hardcore world and how it sucks innocents into it's web. Kayden is an anomaly in the she's immersed in the business but is professional, poised,fully committed to her life of sex and genuinely seems happy about it. And even better, Kayden is a true beauty. -J. Stephen Hicks"

That email doesn't make sense. According to their own terms of service located here http://www.ddgcash.com/static/terms.php you don't appear to be doing anything wrong.

Maybe the original complaint came from the model or photographer, and not from Digitaldesire? Have you contacted Digitaldesire for clarification?

The idiot returns. This clown was known years ago for being wrong much of the time and stupid the rest of the time.

Just ask Paul Markham, who as Charley, was one of Steve Easton's biggest supporters.

Somehow they just go together.

Steve was right far more times than he was wrong.

pornmasta I suggest you send this to Digitdesire to sort Steve out.

in fact someone from pornbb.org is hotlinking the pictures.

I can prevent totally hotlinking because it would affect my submission process...

I see Steve has been in touch with you.

Did you mean you can't or you can prevent?

for pornbb in can, but i can't for all websites:

Each time i submit a gallery to some websites (worldsex for example), they check the pictures. If i deny all referrers excepted my site, i won't be able to submit the content.
Some people are hotlinking my pictures and it is not a problem since they link me back (so they link also back to the sponsor)

So have you had any success contacting Steve Easton or Digital Desire?

I suppose that makes sense if the post made it appear to be copyright infringement. Easton has been doing DMCAs and such for many years. It looks like he's finally starting to figure out how to write a proper notice. As ItsMe said, he has a reputation for sending erroneous or poorly formed notices.

If it wasn't for APIC. none of you wannabe photographers would have jobs. You couldn't make it in the magazines, the Web was 100% theft in 96, and now the content business supports the entire industry including trade shows etc.

APIC made that happen.
