FBI Anti-Piracy Warning
June 24, 2009Why does the FBI rail about music piracy, but ignore piracy of photographs?
Isn’t it interesting that the FBI and everyone else is so uptight about copyright violation of music? Yet almost no one anywhere has respect for the “© All Rights Reserved” labeled photographs we amateur photographers upload to Flickr and elsewhere. I have found my © photographs taken from my Flickr photo-stream and used commercially without my permission, nor even credit given, at Ancestry.com (The Generations Network, Inc.) and Icanhascheezburger.com (LOLCATS).
Amateur photographers such as myself upload photographs to share with others. We do not charge anything for you to view our photographs. We are not in the photography business; we just enjoy taking photographs and sharing them. We do not enjoy having those photographs stolen and used commercially by Internet businesses.
Even though it is against copyright law to download our copyrighted photographs and then to pass them on to others as your own, with no credit to the original creator, it is rampant on the Internet. Sites such as Ancestry.com and Icanhascheezburger.com profit monetarily from our photographs that we never offered for sale. Those sites allow derivative products to be made from them, and then they claim ownership of our photographs and post warnings that it is illegal to steal “their” photographs, as both Ancestry.com (The Generations Network, Inc.) and Icanhascheezburger.com (LOLCATS) do at their sites.
Ancestry.com (The Generations Network, Inc.) operates behind an expensive subscription wall, so that most Flickr members will never find their photographs that have been illegally uploaded there. While Flickr members allow their photographs to be viewed for free, when they appear on the Ancestry.com site, one must pay a subscription fee to view them. The Generations Network has contacted me and given me a link with instructions on contacting them about copyright violations: http://www.myfamilyinc.com/default.aspx?html=copyright .
After performing all of the legal requirements that Icanhascheezburger.com (LOLCATS) required before they would remove my photograph from their commericial site, someone has advised me that they continue to brazenly store my photograph at their WordPress.com server. (I have since contacted WordPress and WordPress promptly removed the following photo.) http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/funny-pictures-cat-has-hired-a-substitute.jpg . Someone else has it stored at the Photobucket site.
Paetec & Red Rock Communications
March 20, 2009Who is RYAN J. TAYLOR? He Harasses the Elderly Using Paetec Communications, INC of Clliffside, New Jersey and Red Rock Communications of South Dakota to make ROBOCALLS.
Day in and day out, continually, I am being harassed in Virginia on my home telephone by Paetec Communications, INC. of New Jersey. The telephone calls that interrupt my peace are recordings warning me that my automobile warranty is about to expire. Each caller ID shows a different telephone number so that even when I block the last number called, Paetec Communications, INC continues to get through with a brand new number.
Here are reports from others about this same last phone number that came to me: Who Called Us from (201) 917-7312? “19 calls reported from this number. According to 8 reports the identity of this caller is Red Rock Communications.”
Red Rock Communications is a despicable company that sells phony caller ID names and numbers to telemarketers – usually scammers – so you cannot see who is really telephoning your private telephone. Their website is redrockcommunications.net. The software they provide to their telemarketers enables scammers to call repeatedly from the same telephone by automatically changing its identification (Caller ID). Even though you block Anonymous Calls, and also the number of the last harassment call from Paetec Communications, Inc., Red Rock Communications enables them to call you again, and again with a new Caller ID each time. I am receiving about ten calls a week. What a piece of SLIMEY work is this Ryan J. Taylor and his Red Rock Communications of South Dakota!

Do Dollar Tree Stores Deserve Your Dollars?
December 4, 2008Taneka Talley, an employee of Dollar Tree Stores, was stabbed to death in March 2006, while working as a clerk. She did not know her killer. The murderer was someone whose sole motive in killing her, according to prosecutors, was because she was African American. Dollar Tree Stores considers the murder a “hate crime,” and for that reason claim they are not required to pay their usual death benefit of $250,000 to her young son.
Dollar Tree’s claim administrator, Specialty Risk Services, which is owned by The Hartford Financial Services Group, cited a letter from their law firm Gray & Prouty that said that Talley’s stabbing was “purely racially motivated. As such, it is our belief that our denial in this matter is proper.”
If you think that is fair treatment of a faithful employee, then continue going to Dollar Tree Stores to spend your dollars.
