I wonder if they ever check back to see how utterly endemic its become. I've seen it on every swinging site I've ever visited.

On the other hand its a great idea thinking that there is a course at Sydney university filled with people nicking photos from forums.

LOL, I also have a little legal training, and I would imagine if you VOLUNTARILY place personal information onto a PUBLIC website your entering PUBLIC DOMAIN in LAW and people whoever they are CAN DO WHATEVER THEY LIKE with your pictures and information placed online and there will not be a dam thing you can do about it. Just an opinion !

It's a load of bollox!

Even if it carried any weight - which it doesn't - many of the people who have it don't have any pics on their profiles, let alone face pics.

That being the case, they're hardly likely to want to take anyone to court and lose their anonymity are they!

We reckon most just use it to pad out a profile.

It's a waste of server space and a pity Admin can't block it and similar rubbish.

I wish Admin could block it as well, along with those stupid pictures made up of symbols, especially the naked woman. Who is actually interested in either of those things

If you do, it will result in a serious inflation of my ego and the international infamy I so richly deserve. It is recommended that other members post a similar notice as well."

Oh - and to the 'Central University of North Tyneside' (C.U.N.T for short!) - if you're running any courses where it's a requirement to perve photos and delve into the sex lives of random people - knock yourself out! Or just knock one out! Whatever floats your boat!!

All of these warnings are just arse gravy. If you have your pictures on a pubic site that anyone can join then you run the risk of them being copied. Don't have them viewable if you are afraid of ending up on a billboard somewhere.

My version - "Sydney University and all other institutions using this site or its associated sites for projects - If you like my profile or pictures then please get in touch or forward my details to your friends as I would love to meet some sexy antipodeans! Failure to do so will result in me feeling very left out."

I've not heard from any Aussies yet though!

Our warning.

To all you universities and study groups, we know that if you want to use any part of our profile or pics, you will. So we won't waste your time with toothless warnings about so called "Legal ramifications". All we ask is if you make a fortune from using our data, please send us a little bit of it.

It is NOT recommended that you all put this in your profile. If there’s any cash going we want it all!!!

I have had a lot of legal training - legally the Copyright Acts apply. If you own the photo, just because it is in a public forum, no one else has the right to use it unless you give them permission to do so. The issue is enforcing your rights - finding the web site owner, contacting them, if no luck then having to go to court to get an injunction and obtaining damages, then trying to enforce any judgement, it ain't going to happen. That's just if the site is in the UK! If its hosted and owned by an overseas organisation you have no chance. So as other posters have said if you do not want it being ripped off and used elsewhere do not make it available.

However - I have a friend who had her pics used by a male on here to create a false couple profile. Site admin pulled it as soon as they were informed. She is no longer on this site. Though still on Babestation!

The 'public domain' thing is bollocks too - although as said above it's not like you can do anything about people copying your pics etc. if you've put them out there.

Question: the Web Site Owner you suggest above ... presume that is the web site hosting the stolen pic from here - not Fab owners?
