Stolen Photo's

[Mistress Annett]

Dear Danza,
You should note from my initial posting that there is a full stop after the sentence, they have been stolen.I then go on to say that they have been posted without my consent.I do not have a web site, nor is any other web site authorised to post those stolen photo's. Hopefully,just as you may wish for your privacy, I am entitled to mine.You are in no position to accurately state that no one has stolen the photos. Perhaps it would be beneficial for this site and the credibility of it's members, that unauthorised anddare I say again stolen photos are not displayed.
Thankyou!

Hi Annett

If you have no website or other way you publish your photos, then someone must have gotten to them in some other way... that they have been stolen can surely be the case... I guess YOU know best if someone has stolen them or if maybe someone you shared them with has misused your trust and started publishing them... if someone stole them, it's bad but if someone you trusted broke that trust, that's real sad...

believe me, I know since a former boyfriend of mine published some of my personal pics (no trample or such... sorry guys outthere... :) ) on hotornot and such websites after we broke up... :(

Take care ;)

Look, you don't want your pictures spread around, then don't pose for them. You're no victim. You spout nonsense with your "sensibility" and your "privacy" violated.

Now that's a different subject. If it was stolen. How did the guy get your pictures anyway? Well Mistress Annett take care.

unless he hacked your computer and took them, or broke into your house, i dont think they are stolen.

I don't see how you guys can tell someone else that their pictures weren't stolen. Maybe you are having difficulty with the concept of unauthorized use. If I allow you into my house for an afternoon and then step out to take a walk. Does that give you the right to pick my car keys up off the table and take a trip down to the mall?

That is an abuse of trust and is actually illegal. While we may not be dealing with something that is illigel in this instance, it is certainly immoral to use pictures - even if the pictures where GIVEN to you for your private use - in a way that the subject or originator of the pictures did not intend or authorize.

Just my two cents, and I am well aware of how a-holes and opinions are alike. :-)

Hey guys....I have been out of town for several days...can you please tell me what thread you are referring to?

[Footslave3000]

If it helps you I'll go to those threads John. They were posted on Dec 26th.

It would've been more beneficial if you took this matter up directly with the admininstators of the forum and Solifuge in private. The pictures could've been removed without anyone's knowledge and Solifuge would've been warned about posting any more. Case closed! Instead, you opted to drag this into the public forum and lecture the entire membership when it was totally unnecessary. Something tells me there's a lot more here than meets the eye.

I don’t know about you guys, but we (Ms Sara, myself, and our cadre of friends and fellow kinksters) have always abided by a very simple rule: If anybody who’s identifiable in a picture objects to its public release, then it simply isn’t released.

For most of us, kink and trample are not the totality of our lives. Most of us have a life (those who don’t should consider getting one). That means that, to one degree or another, we’d like our privacy maintained. The fact that my wife and I take some pics of ourselves at a party, or in private, with no intention of putting them up on the web, does not mean that we’re wanting them featured on the front page of our local newspaper. To argue with that is, frankly, stupid. I’d like to use a bigger, more complicated word; a word some might have to look up at dictionary.com. But “stupid” basically covers the whole of the idea.

You cannot play in the world of fellow kinksters without knowing this simple concept.

As the replies to my request about “what do you do?” confirm, we’re an assorted lot. Some of us are public figures, some are firemen and policemen. Some are businessmen and business women. We come from all directions and having our sexual interests tied to our public personas is unacceptable.

So, understanding that, it’s always been a no-brainer that the privacy of a participant in an activity, or the recording of that activity, belongs to the people who can be identified. We all benefit by that cultural understanding. It allows people, who would not otherwise participate, to have fun without the complications of being “outed.”

I’m not afraid of being outed. Nobody could put muscle on me, make me make decisions to prevent it, make me compromise my responsibilities. But it would be uncomfortable, so I take certain precautions. But I also rely on the basic honorableness of those with whom I correspond and play. That some don’t inherently understand that gives me the shivers.

That Annette objects is, therefore, reason enough for the pics not to be published, or removed post haste after the fact.

This is a stupid argument. So many of us benefit from this “right of objection” that it should be written in stone. The vast majority of us need to show a little muscle here and enforce, to the best of our ability, this basic tenet of our culture. The alternative is anarchy and having to remove ourselves from participation in the kink/trample scene.
