meaningless selfportrait

"The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen." - Tommy Smothers

life has a way of repaying those who steal from others .keep taking awesome photos Reb.
Keep that Chin up !
JP

I leave my computer for a few days and come back and find this whole poorly managed mess... wow.

Funny how after this whole fiasco happened, I find the story on BBC news, and all of a sudden the same day, there is a survey that loosely relates to the topic here on Flickr's Homepage when I log on......

freckles!!

just lil'ol me, keeping my mouth shut.. seen and not heard, thats what pretty girls are for..

however, thomas hawk has some really interesting stuff to say ...

my blog has reading material on it as well

EDIT: since posting this, i have received an apology from Flickr HQ, for removing my previous post, which had 450 comments (long , meaningful comments, about how selling other peoples stuff for profit is a crime, and advice and suggestions on how to deal with it) and had over 101,000 views at the time of its deletion.

im relieved that they owned up to their hasty action of removing the photo. thats something.

EDIT again: update on my blog

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

@chadworthman: know if zenfolio.com has community features like these comments/contacts/etc? I took a look at a featured photographer and it didn't show any. I like the non-white background display of photos.

I've got an account on pbase.com, but the community features aren't as good.

Glad to see all your support Rebecca.

If I understand this correctly, a sketchy company was selling prints of your photos on eBay, you called them out on it with a tiled image listening the photos stolen, the company complained to Flickr about it, and Flickr (Yahoo) reprimanded you for it. That is a miscarriage of justice worthy of the Bush administration. 0_o

I am so amazingly disappointed with Flickr. I really am disgusted by this censorship. You had HUNDREDS of comments with advice and support. This is definitely going to be something very negative for flickr. I think you'll find people migrating away from here because they've really hit the core of one's right to express oneself.

And screw those who reported it... what cowards. What slimy cowards!

I'm supporting this in digg and on thomas hawks' blog... and your blog.. because I don't want my thoughts on this to be deleted again.

I saw your post earlier in the day and was thoroughly shocked by the behaviour of the company. I am fully behind you and I hope that you manage to utilise everything within your powers to redeem the situation to your satisfaction.

However, I am most surprised by the actions of Flickr. I am an avid fan of Flickr and it's workings, the service it provides for photographers, amateurs and professional, old and young and everything in between and am thoroughly disappointed that they have let you down in this way.

I hope you get the reward that you deserve for your amazing work and that this little episode doesn't prevent you from sharing such stunning scenes with the world.

Rebekka
I just spent ages looking for the latest on your post. No show. Flickr deleted !!! blimey…
I would have thought they would help …

To try and be balanced I can partly see that abusive emails to the other company and posts suggesting going round and doing something to them could cause Flickr some problems - but surely those particular posts could be dealt with?

It is a real shame Flickr hasn’t taken a balanced view and alongside dealing with abusive posts , offered their support for the original issue …

Good luck - presume you have heard no more from Only Dreaming..?

Amber Dawn says:

also, i really don't think it's fair that they took your pictures down when dan cederholm posted about the exact same type of theft on flickr a few months ago, only about his logo, which wasn't stolen off of flickr.

i think it has more to do with flickr (or more directly, yahoo) being frightened that flickr users will get the message that their images can be stolen from flickr and reused with absolutely no backup from flickrs legal team at all.

We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavoring to stifle is a false opinion; and if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still.
~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859

The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion.
~Henry Steele Commager

Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.

I'm sorry to hear about thieves stealing from you and making a profit.

Whats the big deal about you shouting "Thief!" when they stole from you on the sidewalk of Flickr. And we as people who walk on the sidewalk of Flickr, just reacted to help a fellow Flickr person in need.

Wouldn't Flickr want the same help, if someone is littering the flickr sidewalk with trash from fakers who claim credit of other people stolen photos?

Very frustrating Rebekka. I wish I had answers. I think you are doing everything you can possibly do and I'm glad you're taking the 'no, this is not acceptable' stance despite your lawyer's advice. (Why should anyone 'accept thievery').
However long it takes, I firmly believe something good will come out of this. It's a temporary injustice (to say the least).

i am furious. another example
of how great places/ideas turn corporate

gave those places character.
this is on par with the original act
of piracy of your images for outrage.
if anything, flickr owes you a debt
of gratitude for so much that you've
done to vivify the community here.
i am growing ambivalent about
supporting the business end
of flickr if they are no longer
supportive of the great artists
that make the business more than
a simple venture for profit.

Dave Ward Photography says:

Clearly if some P.O.S. "gallery" steals your photographs and makes thousands by selling prints of them, you are supposed to just smile, say "How flattering that they like my work!" and then just shut up and take it.

This reminds me of a disgusting quote from Clayton Williams, who said about rain, "It's a lot like rape. As long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it." It's like people are supposed to just accept it and shut up. Sickening and infuriating.

I can hardly comprehend that flickr staff would lash out against the VICTM of this.

I mean, basically what happened was a digital art heist: this little fake "gallery" broke in, stole Rebekka's art -- that's called thieft -- and then they turned around and sold the stolen goods -- and that's called fencing.

They are in the business of selling stolen goods.

I guess flickr is more worried about keeping uppity wimminfolk in their place than they are about thieft, fencing, or laws.

Get back in the kitchen and bake flickr staff some cookies, Rebekka! :-p

Brain Map says:

Strangely, I find flickr's actions even more outrageous. Obviously, I disapprove of Only Dreemin's actions. What they did is undeniably wrong. But where there is money there are greedy assholes. They behaved the way they did to make a profit. Gross but still something we can wrap our heads around even if we would never do such a thing ourselves. What I cannot even remotely comprehend is why flickr would censor you when you did nothing but acknowledge what happened. Is this a liability issue or something? I don't get it. Now, you've been wronged twice. But, still, perhaps something good will come of this. Sometimes fighting censorship is the best way to draw attention to freedom. A lot of people are on your side.

Flickr is a community that we've all helped build into the successful venture that it is now.

They should be supporting its users in protecting their art, as opposed to suppressing our voices.

Us in the community still support you though! Hope this at least crushes Only-Dreaming's business :)

_rebekka, from the comments you've put under the deleted picture, I've understood that you will not be able to sue them because of the cost involved.
I find this quite annoying and I also saw that there were lots of people wanting to help.

What about the idea of creating your own fund raising for that purpose?
It doesn't have to be only for that, let's make it more positive: for anything that would bring you some joy, or something.

Just like you did for others here.

I can't do it for you, people wouldn't trust me, that's why I urge you to do it...for us, because I believe we would also benefit from it, photographically wise [if that even exists in English].

I'll be checking your blog, to see when you post the link (-;

Soon I hope.

_rebekka says:

@Yutai: if they did, they would be completely out of line. they at least could cite some rule about "not harrassing others" when they deleted the other post (i mentioned that people send angry letters at the bottom of the caption, and the letter senders apparently got carried away , sending death threats and such)
if anyone tries to tell me im doing anything remotely like that with this photo , and that caption, i'd be surprised, but stil, im almost expecting a brutal reaction tho this modest protest of mine.

@Daveward: "uppitty wiminfolk" .. that made me burst out laughing;)

@|kono: i seem fragile?? the photo must be misleading then.. im many things, but i don't think fragile is one of them. Fragile is how i think of the stupid female leads in masculine action movies, you know, the ones that scream a lot, flailing their hands, waiting for the man to come rescue them (just watched spiderman3 this weekend with my boys, kirsten dunsts character fits that bill perfectly.. i felt nauseous watching her cowardly behaviour)

i know yuridojc had the same problem only a week ago, with the censorship thing.

weirdly this reminds me of the whole deleteme uncensored thing... (of course this is ten times worse and serious enough to really make me consider other photo sites).

world of pj says:

Also, I think there are two seperate issues to deal with here. The first being the theft of someone's work which is absolutely a crime.

The second is stifling the voice of the victim of that crime. I have less of a problem with some of the community guidelines when I see innumerable ‘penis pix’ - but the stuff that truly is art is easy to distinguish from the smut and the people running the show should be able to differentiate between the two.

This is a most unfortunate set of circumstances. Unfortunately, I have no real advice to give as I am not too familiar with what legal options you have at this point. I will however wish you the best of luck in this matter and hope that you get compensation AND that those perpetrated the crime be brought to justice.

Good luck and I hope that this doesn't mean that we'll no longer have the opportunity to see your wonderful work here in Flickr.

I suggest you guys send a note to the owners of Flickr:

Heres mine:

digg.com/tech_news/Flickr_censorship_2

Shame on you guys for not supporting your arists....

ESPECIALLY Rebekka....she is one of the reasons I signed up and paid for a full account. Her art inspired a lot f us to do so....she is one of your stars here. I cant beleive this is how you treat those people who BRING YOU CUSTOMERS!

If you dont replace her photo and allow her FREE words -- I will delete my account and move on to another photo service...and every person I ever told to use Flickr? I will also tell them.

Btw - I own a web 2.0 company myself - and Im about to go public beta with a user embeddable product --- you may be surprised how many people I will be able to reach about this.

Shame on you for NOT protecting the creative rights of your artists....it shows your true colors about this....you dont care about the artists.

angry regards,

Tj
