1) If someone submits a photo to the website, my first question is whether the user has the right to submit them. I will gladly share the content of the email.
2) The watermark is automatically added because it is uploaded onto MY server. Therefor if people link to it, it uses the servers bandwidth. Bandwidth costs money. I am NOT taking people's work. People are SUBMITTING the work. Watermarks show where the images are being downloaded from. Nothing more.
3) Because SonyBMG or MGM do not submit their work to ILQ. As I explained, those photos were submitted into ILQ. Someone falsely claimed the work to be their own. All ILQ can do is rectify an error when being told. (Which you do not attempt to do.)
4) People always get credit. As mentioned, ILQ gives photographers complete freedom with work (which they submit) and also links to their CC (Creative Commons) or sharing license.
Your post is obviously just written to stir un-necessary trouble. I've given you the opportunity to resolve this issue which is a case of a misunderstanding.
I do NOT confirm that I place logos on people's work without permission. I CONFIRM that all photos on ILQ are submitted and placed on the site.
Put simply you should have just emailed me to resolve this. I'm a friendly person. I don't bite.
@everyone, thank you all for being understanding. I'm very glad to see your kind replies.
