Photobucket has instituted something that is really irritating. Now any image stored on photobucket can be turned into T-shirts, mugs, playing cards, gretting cards, prints, cell phone stickers, and much more. I know some artists are very sensitive about people using their work for profit and not giving them a percentage of the profits. I thuroughly support them in this matter. If you have a photobucket account, they are using any images you have posted their for their profit without your consent, and you do NOT receive anything from this.

If you are as upset about this as I am, there is a petition to sign about it here:

www.ipetitions.com/petition/ourartisgettingstolen/

Please be warned that the petition's site is undergoing maintenance at the moment, but they say it will be back up in about three hours.

In addition, you may e-mail photobucket directly: support@photobucket.com

In addition, Rapidshare has followed Photobucket's lead and is doing the same thing.
I guess bombarding us with all those ads isn't enough.

Crow: Mike, what's a gagn?
Mike: After reading this, I'd say the audience.

You can't trust anyone, I guess. I don't have anything on there, does it say on their agreement that they can just use whatever the hell they want and screw you?

You mean someone can just take my "Bix Zombified" pic and make a coffee mug with it?

Cool!

Bix Dugan:

1. Joel- Do you (or a fellow CT writer) really listen to Howard 100? If so, the next movie that CT riffs on, AND features a little person, please throw out an "Eric The Midget" reference...

Bix Dugan-- Yes, actually I do, and in “The Oozing Skull” there is a reference to “Eric the Midget”, but I guess you didn’t catch it. I sort of got my Dorro voice from listening to Fred Norris

What? I thought my pics were private... I better get that half naked pic of C off my bucket before Bix makes a coffee cup out of her!

(I was going to say, Half naked pic of me, for a joke... but then I threw up in my mouth)
