some clarification

[gypsyjolie]

1. A megapost is a post of 30+ pictures, so no more confusion on that :)

2. We ask that there be NO reposting of pictures posted here to fansites, due to the nature of the purloined images from commercial sites. Scans are re-postable, professional photoshoots are NOT. We don't want to get shut down, nor for the fansites that repost the images to

i'm actually in the process of posting some pictures i got from a fansite but they are professional photoshoots so do i make that a friends only post?

[gypsyjolie]

yes, please to be safe.

They do read the scripts for action sequences but they don’t actually have to learn the lines. They are just directed as to positioning and stunts.

Should we start doing this on the other communities as well?

[gypsyjolie]

no, I don't want to. Not unless you want to make the whole community friends only, which I am okay with if you really want to do it. The main reason that I think this is so problematic for this comm is that there are a couple of LJ users that we get photos of the guys from that I know for certain are getting (great but) chancey photos, and those photos are being posted here.

I take risks posting newswirte photos on hires_angelina but I'm not as worried about that as I am of a particular photographer or licensing service (Icon, etc) chasing me down.

If you want to make a case for making everything "friends only", reply here. I'm open to discussion.

I've been thinking about making hires_natalie completely friends-only, just to be on the safe side, and because I'm afraid some of the pictures are the same ones posted on fansites and I don't want that to somehow cause problems, like getting the sites shut down or angering the webmasters of those sites for possibly reposting "their" photos.

Also, it would be easiest if I made it friends-only now instead of some other time, since there's not very many posts yet.

I didn't want to do it, but I agree. I'm making hires_angelina and hires_hotties friends only tonight too. There's been too much fuss and kerfuffle this past week about copyright and such. Why can't people just relax and enjoy the pics???

to be honest, friends onyl seems liek a great idea. if you wanna see the pix join the community... or is this just the bitchy side of me talking?

Good call!

Thanks for posting this.

I think we should just keep this community open - but if they want to view the special photos - they should just become members. Simple as that but that may change later.

Btw, did you see what gflady2 created? She did a such wonderful job! I would like to place that in that site in the top like you did for hires_angelina? I'm such a dummy at customizing the journal. :/ I remember doing it somewhere in the options... but I can't seem to find it. Can you help? :)

[gypsyjolie]

I just got back froma weekend of camping. I'll try to get the header working tonight for hires_hunks. :)

Many thanks!
