Extracts of movies with the most interesting parts, so without the boring stuff.
Copyright of the original movies is owned by the original makers (not me).
Please leave this blog if you are offended by guys in general.
For those who watched my pictures through my Flickr-account I have to report that they found it necessary to close my account as it 'was in violation of the Guidelines and Terms of Service'. Grrrr.
So what does that mean? Did they explain what the violation was? Did you get a warning beforehand or did they just close it? That is weird, there are much more graphic images than the ones you post? The world is going mad! And of course you have to pay for Flickr, do you get a refund?
The positive thing is that I had a free Flick account, so no money lost. But got no warning. Just a email that they received a complain (without pointing about who and what) , investigated it and found an offense of the following rule: Only upload content that you have created and respect the copyright of others! This means don't steal photos or videos that other people have shared and pass them off as your own. This includes other people's photographs and/or stuff that you've collected from around the Internet. Accounts that consist primarily of such collections may be deleted at any time.
If all accounts were deleted that hold contents violating this rule, they get a lot of free disk space at Flickr.
But guess it was somebody working for the movie companies. These people are still thinking it's 1950, when they could rule the whole world. Compared to the music industry which are making a lot of money with online music stores like iTunes or streaming services like Spotify, the movie industry puts their efforts in useless fighting against everybody instead of being creative in creating new services.
About a year ago they noticed that a lot of people moved to Tumblr/Google/etc. and business were really bad for Yahoo, so they decided to give everybody 1 terrabyte of space for free. But when you pay there are some advantages like usage statistics and no ads. So you can stop your payments :-)
Yes, everything is gone. I have all the pictures saved, so that would be easy to upload once again. But all the people I was connected with and the comments made are gone also. That is more difficult to find out again. So if you want to save that, make screen dumps or so. When your time is there you have no chance to do it, because you get closed right away. Too bad.
I wouldn't guess because it are the people behind the complain. If a major movie company demands that Yahoo takes down the account they have to obey otherwise Yahoo gets sued for offering the possibility displaying illegal material. So they rather have a few angry customers instead of a lawsuit with such party.
Grrrr.

Yes, like you say almost every photo on Flickr is 'snatched' from somewhere else!
DeleteHow did you manage to get a free account? When I joined I only got the first 200 photos free and then they charge an annual fee after that?

DeleteMy worry would be my present account would disappear, along with all the photos?

DeleteI'd like to think as I pay for the account they would be obligated to give me warning, but who knows in this day and age?!

DeleteCrap! What a bunch of losers. I'm so sorry, Gary. If you ever set up shop somewhere else, let me know.
