Album Piracy/Photo Theft - RESOLVED & TBD
Re: Album Piracy/Photo Theft
Hell, you can take your own camera and photograph the screen, I've done that, and that's another way of getting a low-quality copy.

Re: Album Piracy/Photo Theft
This has always been an ongoing issue on the internet.
The more one tries to protect, the more rights and freedoms one gives up
Just another form of censorship wearing a different mask.
If my photos are illegally used I will look after it myself. If people cannot download my photos from TDF I shall set up my own albums at TDC or Doll Harum and delete my TDF albums.

I guess what midiman says here is that he is not imposing his will over the will of the majority in any case, but says beforehand that he will react personally in the way he said in case it goes for more protective schemes.synthyours wrote:You do realize you own TDF, right?midiman wrote:Anyone that wants to have the photos can simply do a screen capture.

As for the poll I am reluctant to place my opinion, as there are no pictures of mine at stake, but I would like to propose the following:
Lets live with the current solution for some more time and retry the poll after, say, one month.
If it does not stop any piracy then sorry, but the effort has been proven ineffective, and can be dropped as well. If it seems to provide some protection we can check in the second poll if the benefits outweigh the disadvantages or vise versa.
The optimal solution in this case would be to allow each owner to decide for herself or himself if she/he wants to apply this protection or not, but I guess this is just technically infeasible.
Re: Album Piracy/Photo Theft
Why is this a problem now and not for the last ten years? How can something for free be pirated?
I'm sure some here would like to see their photography on the official site of the Louvre Museum in France. I like it the way it was in the past and where is the archived Doll Album other than on my DVD.
The more we are exposed on the Internet the more new members we bring in. They need to find us to keep it going.
Re: Album Piracy/Photo Theft
I do enjoy my own slideshow of my favorite pics, and do not mind people copying music or videos or pictures I post.
Re: Album Piracy/Photo Theft
Edit: However, the size of the file in the album is 344K, and the size of my saved version is 74.5K.
Edit again: HOWEVER, this is exactly the same result as when I follow Alex's instructions, and is an easier way to do it, unless and until they cut off this loose end that they may have overlooked.

Re: Album Piracy/Photo Theft
Or perhaps there could just be an anti-piracy setting for the individual albums, that can be activated or deactivated at the discretion of said album's owner? I just wanna be able to spam the chat with my pics without having to link to the page...Bim1 wrote:How about leaving a shared pictures gal lery for those who do not mind letting anyone have their pictures, and a secured one.

Re: Album Piracy/Photo Theft
Yeah, me too. I just want to rightclick in my album to copy the link, so I can post a picture in a thread.NotMyName wrote:Or perhaps there could just be an anti-piracy setting for the individual albums, that can be activated or deactivated at the discretion of said album's owner?

As it is now, you won't see me posting any pics. Or even uploading new pics to my album.
Edit: I wasn't able to do the poll. Would have voted other.
We had another sister Annika, her album also has a lot of pics of me.

Sil has been coding up a storm inbetween his day job and normal life stuff. The fix to the album will be live at some point very soon.NotMyName wrote:Or perhaps there could just be an anti-piracy setting for the individual albums, that can be activated or deactivated at the discretion of said album's owner?

It includes a new awesome way to link to pictures... so awesome in fact that you don't even have to right click on them. For the lazy among you, that means less muscle movement to show off your hot doll pr0n.
Thanks to all of you who have been patient while this has been in the works.

And most members on TDF don't have such an account. They could indeed register for one, but without activity on the Doll Album, empty accounts are removed every 6 months.
For a lot of our members, the joy of seeing lots of views on their pictures gives a feeling of satisfaction, so they keep their albums for all to see.
