Darcy?s news item below speaking out against a new web site that clearly has used ladies? photos without their permission is an important reminder of the fact that while the used panty community stretches across all corners of the globe, in reality it is a ?small town? atmosphere. Word of mouth spreads like wildfire in this community, and a panty-related blip on the web is often heard by us all no matter where we are. This works well for all of us involved in the community because after all, the panty fetish is our passion. There’s More…..
Panty Hog?s intent is to promote the used panty fetish and all of the resources on the web available for the enjoyment of the community. It saddens me when situations like this arise, and I had mixed feelings when I clicked the ?publish? button for Darcy?s item. I would so much rather be adding a positive item. On the other hand, Panty Hog exists to provide any and all panty-related news, and there is no doubt that this situation is important news. Any lady who has spent her time getting a photo just right, and publishing it where she believes it would most benefit her panty fans would understandably be angry to find that someone has taken her hard work with out so much as a ?thank you?. Stealing another?s published work is just as much theft as taking someone?s purse, car, laptop, or whatever would be. Stealing a person?s photos is even more insidious however because you are using their likeness. Obviously, if you are putting actual photos of yourself on the internet, you want to be able to choose where they are shown.
If nothing else, the site in question is a great example of how not to start a panty web site. Those contemplating starting up a new site should study it carefully. Adult content providers are numerous, and licensed photo content is now so inexpensive, that apart from the ethical considerations, it simply doesn?t make any sense to steal photos. You might save the $10.00 cost to buy photos that you can use legally on your site, but in turn you?ll quickly find that you?ve just wasted the cost of registering your domain, the cost of hosting, and all of the time you?ve spent developing the site. Do the math. Word gets out fast, and panty fans have become very good at spotting a bad deal. This might be a good place to remind everyone that all content found on Panty Hog is either copyright of Panty Hog or the individuals that have submitted it. Either way, before you can use it elsewhere, you need to ask for permission to do so.
