BONER!

Comment by korben88 — April 16, 2008 @ 8:07 am

Oh man, I had these pics a while ago and didn’t post them. I thought tiki wouldn’t approve it due to the pic quality.

Comment by SouthernOracle — April 16, 2008 @ 9:03 am

@korben88:

No, its probably lint and knives.

Comment by RSIxidor — April 16, 2008 @ 9:08 am

lol, that’s the same chemical burn that Brad Pitt had in Fight Club (second pic).

Comment by Error401 — April 16, 2008 @ 9:36 am

Edward Norton^^

Tyler was imaginary.

I’m that guy. That guy who shows how smert he is by correcting others for no reason.

@SouthernOracle
Everyone had these pics a while ago. They were leaked on April 2nd.

Comment by mAgnUS BUTTfoorson — April 16, 2008 @ 10:20 am

Ok, it’s probably the same prosthetic prop. Maybe not. The one in fight club looked more lippy than Heath’s (above). Does it really matter? nah.

How the hell did the “4″ get in there colin?

Comment by Serix — November 4, 2007 @ 9:56 pm

For cryin’ out loud, I thought this was a tripod/timer shot. The camera man is a stupid, blithering idiot. Cute ballerinas need to stay alive. They are prettier and much more fun that way.

Comment by phyreblade — November 4, 2007 @ 10:04 pm

tiki god you are a fucking thef. It’s bad enough that you stole my work then you give it some fucked up name. THIS IS NOT A SUICIDE IMAGE YOU MORAN

You have 7 hours to remove this and any other of my images before I take leagle action.

Comment by Bakudai — November 5, 2007 @ 3:48 am

9/10 of the time I can give credit to where it’s due, and even hopefully help the original owner turn a profit on their merchandise (posters, t-shirts, games, etc, etc)

And I can see how much credit this site gave me.

Remove this image now you thief’s

Comment by koukei — November 5, 2007 @ 4:02 am

koukei and your relation to this picture that is making you so upset is?

And QQ this is the internet, once an image is posted anywhere, then it belongs to everyone. There is no getting it back, or stopping others from taking it.

Comment by Wisebrute — November 5, 2007 @ 4:11 am

Yes I do, so what? I Pirate tons of shit! What you gonna do about it koukei?

Tiki will take this image down if you actually have some relation with it. But so far all you have done is whine and bitch like a child. Repeating the same fucking thing over and over. Wanna try explaining? Or having a little patience and waiting for Tiki to log on, since I’m 100% positive that he has better things to do than sit on here all day.

Comment by Wisebrute — November 5, 2007 @ 4:20 am

Quite possibly he doesn’t know where the picture originally came from. Why don’t you calm down, and wait for him to come online, which could quite possibly be tomorrow since it is a little late. You said you’d wait 7 hours, so just tough it out for 6 more.

Comment by Wisebrute — November 5, 2007 @ 4:33 am

Don’t listen to Wisebrute. Before you take ‘leagle action’, listen very carefully: If Tikigod accidentally uses a copyrighted image the person doesn’t want used freely, you only have to ask him. Either by E-mail, by a simple polite post here, or contact him on his many IM services.

He always has taken images down by request, and always will. He has never made an exception. However, having a spam attack is no way to go about this. It’s 4AM where he lives, HE IS ASLEEP. Just wait it out a bit.

Comment by Caio — November 5, 2007 @ 4:37 am

Uhhhh isn’t that exactly what I said in the post before yours Caio?

Comment by Wisebrute — November 5, 2007 @ 4:39 am

I’m sorry. That came out wrong, wisebrute. I just meant to say that copyright does apply on the inernet, although enforcing it is nearly impossible. Tiki is a good guy though, and honours these requests out of the goodness of his own heart.

When he’s awake.

Comment by Caio — November 5, 2007 @ 4:40 am

Your right of course, and I may have been a little childish in my first couple of replies. But watching him spam everything and expecting it changed immediately was too annoying for me to take.

Comment by Wisebrute — November 5, 2007 @ 4:46 am

WIsebrute how annoyed do you think I get every time I see someone knowingly steal my work for profit

Comment by koukei — November 5, 2007 @ 5:04 am

I’m sure your angry, I would be too if someone used something I took time in making without permission. But as I said, its the internet and everything gets around fast, so I’m sure he didn’t know where the original image came from, He then posted it up here because he thought it was interesting. If he had known who created it he would have given credit, or that if you have a pay site he wouldn’t have posted it at all. Since you obviously don’t want it up, He will take it down immediately once he comes online. It is late and most people are asleep, so tomorrow he will remove it I’m sure. Sorry for being rude previously, but spamming wasn’t helping your cause.

Comment by Wisebrute — November 5, 2007 @ 5:21 am

Tiki wouldn’t “knowingly steal” your work. He always puts up a name and source when he knows them. And most people are fine with it, free advertisement and pulls in more people to your site. But he has always promptly removed anything that was unwittingly taken against the artist’s wishes.

Comment by Wisebrute — November 5, 2007 @ 5:24 am

Out of curiousity koukei, what’s your site? I like this picture, and if it’s yours I’d like to see your other work.

Comment by Serix — November 5, 2007 @ 9:27 am

Koukei, if you’re old enough to be taking those pictures, shouldn’t you know how to spell “thief”, “legal” and “thieves”? Thieves is the correct term for plural thief. And again, spamming this site is dumb. Won’t help your cause. And if you think this site is just stealing, why do you come here?

Comment by brutal_fashion — November 5, 2007 @ 9:49 am

If anything, it could give your work more publicity. I would be grateful if my work was posted on here. With the correct credit, of course. The easy way to get that is to put a watermark or website address at the bottom.

Comment by brutal_fashion — November 5, 2007 @ 9:51 am

Indeed, thanks for sticking up for sanity everyone. Sadly, it would appear that koukei is either not the author, or has no ability to link to examples of the image on a professional level, which is generally all the proof that I require for an image take down.

I will note that:
1.) I used to have a disclaimer on every page, but that was lost during the last site layout change. I’ll be digging it back up and re-adding it.
2.) Spamming the comments section of any website is a bad idea, and will lead to the ban hammer.
3.) koukei couldn’t / wouldn’t link to their portfolio. This is a beautiful image, and I do appreciate it’s composition, and would much rather have a link to the author’s site then not, but such information is not readily available to me. Links to the original content are always preferred, even if they’re only in the comments. About 9/10 of the images on MCS are uncredited, and the ones that ARE credited are usually done so by the Super Awesome MCS Members.
4.) Haven’t received a single e-mail about this. In fact, I wouldn’t have known anything was amiss had I not hit the site on my way into work.
5.) I think you’ll find that I have no problem with removing images, given proper notification, and verification. In fact, there’s a whole category on MCS that deals with the posts that have been removed in the past.
6.) I think you’re a troll. You might have authored the image, but you’re still a troll.

Comment by tiki god — November 5, 2007 @ 10:22 am

Tiki, if she does prove that she’s the author and you take the pic down, can you still keep the thread around for the lulz? This has got to be one of the site’s classics.

Comment by Caio — November 5, 2007 @ 3:27 pm

Oh, the threads all stay, just for future reference. There’s a whole archive of posts that the image was removed from in fact. That’s both for admin purposes and for lulz factor…

Comment by tiki god — November 5, 2007 @ 3:43 pm

Tiki gor you stupid thef.

This isn’t a suicide image. She’s been put on trial for expressing her rights to go shirtless and wear high-heels, and the court obviously found her in the wrong.

Comment by ladyoftheorb — November 5, 2007 @ 3:59 pm

Lawyers won’t listen to your leagle issues. Sorry.

Comment by egnilk66 — November 5, 2007 @ 4:06 pm

and “moran” is spelled MORON, moron.

Comment by egnilk66 — November 5, 2007 @ 4:07 pm

@ koukei

If that’s you…..you have cute boobs. But, you’re still a MORON.

Comment by egnilk66 — November 5, 2007 @ 4:11 pm

So butthole took the picture? Tied the noose? Is the chick?

I’m confused. If you’re a photographer who considers yourself an artist and you want the picture removed that’s fine. Legal action can only be taken if you prove a revenue stream or prove that he interfered with your own. Otherwise regular IP law and how it applies to the internet is so foggy you’d be better off suing tiki for stealing your ability to spell.

Outside of the .00002 cents the ads generated for the one post made I don’t see a profit.

It also seems odd that you’d flood this place with tears but never have the brainstorm power to post a link to your purported work.

I can only conclude that you are a gay.

Comment by mAgnUS BUTTfoorson — November 5, 2007 @ 4:44 pm

I don’t think this poor soul is “a gay” in either sense of the word.

He is obviously not happy and with all that poor grammar he couldn’t pick up another man to save his life.

Comment by egnilk66 — November 5, 2007 @ 4:47 pm

this concludes ‘ask an expert’.

Comment by mAgnUS BUTTfoorson — November 5, 2007 @ 4:49 pm

Thanks, by the way, for the clarification of your handle, Magnus. Because you have it “mAgnUS BUTTfoorson” I thought you were saying “A US BUTT”, saying that all American’s are butts or asses. So, really, by what you said last night in the thread for Sad Boy is that your name is ANUS BUTT. Does your real name have anything to do with Magnus Buttfoorson or any of it’s derivations? BUTTFOORSON or anything with FOORSON seems to be Swedish or some other Nordic or Scandinavian country. Am I even close? FYI, there’s no need to come back in a tirade, I am just asking questions, not trying to threaten your family name or anything.

Comment by egnilk66 — November 5, 2007 @ 4:52 pm

@egnilk66

Moran is a fark cliche. another hint that this is just a troll, and not a real person.

I meant Americans not American’s.

Comment by egnilk66 — November 5, 2007 @ 5:04 pm

Fark.com : a user submitted news website. Funny headlines are posted, which link to a story, then people can comment on that story. Kinda sorta like MCS, but not really. They’re my inspirations. I luv you Drew!

Is it really something like Fred Barnes or Joe Smith?

Comment by egnilk66 — November 5, 2007 @ 5:23 pm

Or maybe you’re Inuit and your name is Mackukluck Gooisi or something.

Comment by egnilk66 — November 5, 2007 @ 5:23 pm

Maybe it’s Patricia.

Comment by egnilk66 — November 5, 2007 @ 5:28 pm

Who knows. Who cares. Anyway ANUS BUTT, it’s been nice talking to ya.

Comment by egnilk66 — November 5, 2007 @ 5:29 pm

What she didn’t even give Tiki any proof? I thought maybe she was just mad at me so she wouldn’t really talk, but if she won’t even give Tiki the proof of being the artist, or at least the site url, then wtf was she thinking.

How is he going to prove where he got it if he didn’t give credit to whoever made it?

God, koukei, make some fucking sense please, or GTFO

Comment by casemods — November 5, 2007 @ 10:09 pm

koukei,

Why antagonize everyone here with your stupid bullshit?

He got it from me. I was using it to wipe my ass and I threw it at him after. He asked me “what is this shit?” And I said koukei. He thought I was referring to the Korean food we shared by candle light earlier which I had digested.

Simple miscommunication.

Now go fuck off. If you still have that noose please use it on yourself.

thefing ashule.

Comment by mAgnUS BUTTfoorson — November 5, 2007 @ 10:15 pm

he put this image up, so all I’m asking is where did he get this image from.

Comment by koukei — November 5, 2007 @ 10:18 pm

And the answer I just gave you will bring about as much resolution as the one you’re so desperate to hear/read.

So fuck off.

Comment by mAgnUS BUTTfoorson — November 5, 2007 @ 10:18 pm

koukei is just trying to aggravate people here, ignore him, Tiki will link it since koukei has indeed provided links to his work. As good a photographer as koukei might be, he still posts only to incite anger.

Comment by Serix — November 5, 2007 @ 10:19 pm

He got it from the internet you dumb fuck.

Welcome to it.

Comment by casemods — November 5, 2007 @ 10:19 pm

wow apparently you’re 46, and never learned how to spell properly, nor how to have civil discourse?

Once MCS receives a proper takedown notice the image will be removed.

Comment by tiki god — November 5, 2007 @ 10:30 pm

I’m not trying to incite anger. I’m just sick of people stealing my work then claiming they don’t know where they got it from.

Comment by koukei — November 5, 2007 @ 10:30 pm

Hey koukei, if you really want to claim something before putting it on the WORLD-WIDE WEB, maybe you ought to sign it somewhere, or add a watermark.

Also, the English language is NOTHING like art. If you make a mistake with it, you can’t claim it’s an artistic expression. Please stop maiming it.

Comment by ladyoftheorb — November 5, 2007 @ 10:50 pm

tiki god yeah I’m shit at spelling but I don’t steal. I have proved that I own © on this image.

So to have you remove MY work from this site I have to

The subscriber’s name, address, phone number and physical or electronic signature [512(g)(3)(A)]
Identification of the material and its location before removal [512(g)(3)(B)]
A statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification [512(g)(3)(C)]
Subscriber consent to local federal court jurisdiction, or if overseas, to an appropriate judicial body. [512(g)(3)(D)]

when all you have to do to steal my work is right click copy past.

Come on show everyone you are not a thief. show us where you copied this image from.

Comment by koukei — November 5, 2007 @ 10:55 pm

I know exactly where I got it from, it came from one of the chans. The idea that this information is going to help you however is ludicrous, as every board using the *chan interface is a giant clearing house for images with literally thousands of them being posted and deleted every hour. If you’re going to get your panties up in a bunch when people repurpose your images, by all means, get them up in a bunch. But don’t threaten ‘leagal action’ if you don’t even know how to spell legal.

And as for inspiring anger, that’s usually the end result of your tirades, and defacing a website with spammy comments.

Comment by tiki god — November 5, 2007 @ 10:57 pm

ladyoftheorb sorry I’m shit at spelling and the anger I get the worse my spelling gets. I don’t watermark my images because I find watermarks distracting and ugly. This doesn’t mean people have the right to steal them.

Comment by koukei — November 5, 2007 @ 11:03 pm

Again for dipshit.

Prove you’ve lost money in ANY way or you have NO and I mean ZERO fucking legal recourse. ZERO. NOTHING.

Take this to a lawyer. See how hard they laugh in your fucking face.

Also I think I’m the only one here who thinks your pictures are fucking stupid. You’re a talentless little prick and your pictures look like something a 14 year old girl who admins a Tarsem Singh fansite would come up with.

Take your anger and go fuck yourself.

There is no possibility of legal action. None. The thought is even a joke. You’re a joke.

There has been no theft. When you display something in public domain on the net it becomes a free for all. You have two options: 1)provide precedent proving otherwise or 2)don’t post anymore.

Comment by mAgnUS BUTTfoorson — November 5, 2007 @ 11:15 pm

tiki god I admit I cant spell, Everyone who reads this thread can see I can’t spell and I own this image. But they can also see the lack of honor by the Admin on this site.

Comment by koukei — November 5, 2007 @ 11:17 pm

I think all koukei wants is a detail about where the image is from, am I right? Is that so hard to do?

Comment by casemods — November 5, 2007 @ 11:25 pm

I doubt he’d understand anyway.

No one (and I feel safe speaking for the entire population of MCS) sees the admin as lacking honour or as a thief. We just see you as a whiny douchebag.

Comment by mAgnUS BUTTfoorson — November 5, 2007 @ 11:44 pm

For once I agree with mAgnUS. Tiki has proven that he’s more than willing to yank an image once the proper channels have been followed. But it would be bad business to just take the word of any schmo who logs on and says “it’s mine, take it down” without any kind of proof or documentation. And besides, it’s not as if he’s making millions off this site and selling this shit for profit.

Comment by Brigantyna — November 5, 2007 @ 11:49 pm

So far, all I’ve gathered from this topic is that koukei can’t spell, so that’s his defense that it’s his picture, egnilk66 has complete gone insane, tiki once again rules, and I am deeply disturbed that I agree with Magnus. The Internet confuses me…

He might not be making millions from this site but he is making money by stealing peoples work and displaying it without credit or permission. The longer this image stays on this site the more people will see the lack of integrity of the owners of this site.

They now know real © owner dose not want his images on a site that supports theft but they keep displaying it.

My point is * I * could sign in with the username koukei, say the work is mine, link to the original and demand he take it down, all the while spamming the site with poor spelling and worse punctuation. He would have no proof that I am, in fact, the artist simply because I signed on with the username and linked to the original site. I could sign on with the username Luis Royo, link to Royo’s page and demand that any Royo images be removed. That in no way proves that I am Royo and the images are mine.

You’d better have look here then….they’re using your images too. I don’t think they’re properly crediting you there either. So, go spend some time there and let us breathe a little.

Comment by egnilk66 — November 6, 2007 @ 12:50 am

There’s still the issue of hard, physical (on the internet) proof that you are said artist.

Comment by schulzbrianr — November 6, 2007 @ 12:50 am

@koukei,
Putting a © on your site doesnt prove that you own those images. You need to go through the proper steps to ensure that you actually do own the copyrights to said images, which i doubt you have actually done. And even if you HAVE done that, your copyrights accorind to YOUR own site, expired Jan 1st, 2007.

So unless you can prove that you actually own the copy rights to the image in question (A © on a website isn’t sufficient proof.). There is no legal way to force Tiki to remove the image.

The easiest way to ensure you own the copyrights to something, is to mail a copy of it to yourself. that way it gets an offical government seal verifying the date that it was mailed, and after your letter gets sent back to you with the disk, or orginal print of the image, you can safely distribute it without worry of copyright infringement, and if you ever needed to take someone to cvourt that envelope with the government stamp would be proof of when you orginally created the document. But i doubt you have that unopened letter from yourself soooo Shut the fuck up and stop whining, you should be happy that there are more people appreciating your “art”.

And considering MCS is getting on average over 100K hits a day and your site doesn’t even get enough hits to show up on any site comparison tool i can find you should be THANKING tiki, not insulting him.

Comment by Kero — November 6, 2007 @ 12:54 am

Well said…. Kero’s spot on on this one…. you should be thanking Tiki…..and me. YOU SHOULD BE THANKING ME, you fucker. Why? I haven’t the foggiest idea…but you should be.

Comment by egnilk66 — November 6, 2007 @ 12:57 am

Should be thanking you for being the bright-ass ray of sunshine that you are.

Comment by Brigantyna — November 6, 2007 @ 12:58 am

koukei is by far the dumbest person I’ve encountered on the internet this week. Granted it’s only Monday but the bar has been set pretty damn high.

I mean…his site isn’t even for profit. It’s a public portfolio. Kero is totally right. koukei owes tiki money for getting his name out there.

Unless you’re ashamed of your work? Is that it? You’re ashamed and you want it taken down because you’re like me and you think it’s fucking dogshit?

Are you sorry your work reminds me of something scribbled in a fat 14 year old girls notebook followed by a poem about how after she cuts her wrists her step-dad will be sorry he yelled at her? You want to apologize and save any others from being subjected to your crap?

“exactly the owners make money out of stealing others work and displaying the hear.

Its simple remove my image and I will crawl back into the toilet that I came from.

Comment by koukei — November 6, 2007 @ 1:35 am

No.

Your move, Ace.

Kero is right. Saying “Copyright” does not mean it is legally copyrighted. The mailing thing works, and I know there’s also the Library of Congress (at least for writing, I am not sure how that works for photography).

You can’t slap a © on something and say it’s copyrighted.

Granted, you’re only “required” to provide such evidence in a trial, but since you threatened legal action, you may as well be prepared.

Comment by ladyoftheorb — November 6, 2007 @ 1:37 am

The thing i find funniest about this is that had you e-mailed Tiki, and simply asked him to remove the image, he would have done so no problem. It’s happened before. But since you were such a douche about it I doubt that will happen now. Unless of course you can come up with solid proof that you own the image, which as I already stated is impossible for you to do at this point.

Maybe next time someone ” ” steals your image, you’ll just ask them to remove it nicely instead of being a giant cock about the whole thing.

Seems to me like you’re still in the toilet, ace (if magnus doesn’t mind me stealing the moniker for you, since keikoui is too damn annoying to type).

Under the Berne copyright convention, a work is automatically copyrighted at the time of creation. Registering your copyright helps your case if you take legal action, but its not necessary.
Mailing it to yourself creates a legal verifiable date of creation, but does not copyright the work. (IANAL).
Still, koukei should quit complaining in the comments sections and contact tiki directly.

I have sent 2 emails, The first was a angry one with lots of F’s the second I asked why I had to employ a lawyer to complete a DMDC to have my image removed.

I have never needed to do a DMDC before why is this site so special.

Comment by koukei — November 6, 2007 @ 1:58 am

Maybe you should ask yourself why you want it removed from a site that gets more notice than your own? Or you could read mAgnUS’s post, since he thought it for you. Asshat.

lol this has to be my favorite img on the site, just because of all the angry comments that it generated.

My image was given a name that misrepresents it.

The tag (by tiki god) is insulating to the true owner.

If I had not been told about the theft of my image what credit or benefit would I get out of it. Know one would know who took this shit image.

and going by most of the comments, you don’t like my images. so why would you want them to stay.

One day you might create something and have it fucked with by others, then you might understand why I’m been a pain in the ass.

“If I had not been told about the theft of my image what credit or benefit would I get out of it. Know one would know who took this shit image.”

“Shit image”? You are admitting it now?

Comment by Wisebrute — November 6, 2007 @ 2:38 am

I ask again

Please remove my image from this site. Then I will go away.

Comment by koukei — November 6, 2007 @ 5:30 am

1) Koukei, I’m guessing that you’re going to have to contact a lawyer because a) It’s the legal way to go about things; and b) Instead of filing a polite request, you antagonized the admin by spaming multiple threads to death and viciously insulting him before he had a chance to wake up. I’m sure if you had handled this in the polite way in the first place, Tiki would have taken it down, but when you act like this, he’s not going to do you any favours and why would he. Myself, at first I sympathized with you, but you’ve pushed it so far, I want to see if you actually are a successful 46-year old artist who can back up her trash talk by paying a third-rate lawyer the hour’s salary that this would take to resolve. Because if you were making money off your art, you could certainly afford that.

2) You have got to be the worst Wapanese in the world. Japanese people would never actually act like this. Ausi crackers who go by Jap screen names and want to be taken seriously for anything aside from ‘love of guro’ generally carry themselves with the politeness and decorum we associate with Japanese in the non-pornographic parts of their lives. Your request is weakened because you seem like you’re some trash from a god-awful Melbourne suburb sitting on the library computer screeching ‘OHhh! Boody! I’ll pretend I’m this Japanese bloke! They’ve got such beautiful culcha!’

Now go back in your hugbox.

Why should i be polite to someone who has no respect for others work. It is good to see you agree that legal action will force him to remove my image. It is good to see you agrees he is stealing images otherwise I wouldn’t need a lawyer would I.

I have tried the polite way at least 10 times before on other sites and it has never worked. I have the most success by publicly exposing the thief.

Comment by koukei — November 6, 2007 @ 9:19 am

@Ladyoftheorb lol you win.

@Cookie.
“I have tried the polite way at least 10 times before on other sites and it has never worked. I have the most success by publicly exposing the thief.”

Tiki actually has NO SHAME, public humiliation (Especially on a site that he owns, full of people who like him a lot more than they like you) won’t work.

Also what kind of fucking artist are you? who makes art and then complains when people like it and show it to other people? What the fuck? “Wah wah wah thousands and thousands of people are seeing my work!!! QQQQQQQQQQ” SHUT THE FUCK UP!

The whole point of being an artist is for people to see and like your work, not to be a fucking douche whenever someone else notices it. No wonder no one fucking visits your site. I hope you die.

Also just because being nice didn’t work with other people doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole all the time. Again I say, had you simply emailed Tiki politely in the first place, I guarentee you he would have removed the image. Swaering at people, or doing w/e ladyoftheorb did isn’t the way to get things done :).

theft is theft and I will not stop till my image is removed from this site that supports theft

Comment by koukei — November 6, 2007 @ 10:26 am

Supports theft? I know I make monthly donations to the thieves guild.

Comment by schulzbrianr — November 6, 2007 @ 10:44 am

“theft is theft and I will not stop till my image is removed from this site that supports theft”

Unless you blocks your IP from being able to access the site.

Then you’re completely fucked.

Go to a lawyer like I told you do.

What’s the expression? Your actions on here (which are actually admissible in court) are already enough for a counter suit. You’ve essentially provided enough….rope to hang yourself with.

So despite you thinking you have all the control in this exchange it’s become increasingly clear, I expect even to you, that you have none.

So cry thief and expect anyone to give a shit. When tiki feels the needs it’s a simple matter of a looking at your respective IP and going through the cpanel to block it from accessing the site.

Then you’re fucked.

So fuckoff.

While it is not at all illegal to post a random image, it IS in fact illegal in many juristictions to threaten litigation when you demonstrably have no intention or ability to carry out such a threat…
