Yo
On behalf of myself and probably the other staff,
Can you please stop putting stuff in our ask about the incident that happened a few days ago? We love the support and all that good jazz, but personally, I think that it’s done and over with, and we don’t need to continue lingering on it.
Just a thought :)
Thanks!

stayfrosty517 asked: Why are you saying that you have removed all the flickr photos, when you have NOT?!
zzmarissa asked: Hello, I got a message on my flickr that my picture was being used here. I see you've been getting a lot of backlash for this sort of thing. No harm done, but if you could remove it that'd be awesome. Thanks! I couldn't find the post, but here is my image if it is still up here: flickr. com/photos/zzmarissa/3332346756/
welcometofeeland asked: Thank you for removing my images, no matter how they were removed I really appreciate it. I have a large supply of horse photos I wouldn't mind you using if you just took time to ask me first :)
jordanemk asked: This may be a stupid question...but is there a difference between the ask box and the submit box? If so, where do I find the submit box? lol. Sorry for any trouble...
pandorameadows asked: Can I submit some photos of mine that you could use? (:
wildmagic713 asked: I really hope this dies down soon. I don't follow as many horse-related blogs as I'd like and this is one of my favorites. Best of luck to you guys <3
0-10296 asked: Ok; why would everyone make a big deal out of the pictures? Just give them credit from now on- the publicity would be nice for the photographers.
iluvfranny asked: actually the person with the lawyer dad is wrong - If a photo is labeled as all rights reserved it doesn't matter if you are making money from the image or not it is illegal and a breach of copyright. I'd suggest that instead of just stealing peoples pictures from flickr and adding a few lines of text on them either take your own photos or ask people to submit with their own photos
amazing-freakin-grace answered your question: Since we’re now using stock photos, should we still use the URL?
Um, yes…as a photographer, I would be extremely offended if you did not!
Nonono, we meant use the URL of the blog! We do post the stock photo URL though..
724-hoofbeats asked: if people on flickr don't want their pictures to be used.. can't they just put their watermark on it? >.>
Whoah. Wait.
So if using photos from Flickr (using credit.)…then is everyone on Tumblr a rebel?
loljesus.
thatjarviskid asked: holy over reacting photographers! I just read through all of this. you've given a link from the original photo, you're not making money off selling the photos, you're not taking photos and claiming them as your own. I don't understand the MAD issue. what I do know is you're using photos, WITH credit AND links to the original, which will been seen by [insert number of...

horses-are-the-angels-of-earth asked: I'm soo sorry this has happened to you guys because I can only imagine how hard you guys worked on all the ECs and to make this blog such a great one... && I just think you guys who run EC should know there are so many followers who are supporting you and have your back through this all. (:
Deleting every single post. Yep.
Sorry guys. All the new posts will be available thouh.
yournotthatspecial asked: Please remove your photos from flickr that have been edited without the artist' consent. Tumblr has been contacted and they will be looking into your page. Take some time to read the terms of service and copyright information on this website. And for those who commented that the photographers who are angry are "immature", truly we are sorry that protecting our photos and following...
Thinking of starting a new blog c: Anyone wanna...

Haha I feel so special .
Submissions close for a bit.
I’ve got 39 to get to! But I’ll open em’ later tonight<3
bethbobby asked: I'm the editor of a newspaper and did a course on copyright - as soon as you post a picture on Flickr the copyright ownership goes to Flickr who then allow it to be 'copyrighted for distribution'. You have done nothing wrong taking photos from flickr, just don't add a watermark - so everyone can now chill out and stop going mental - because if all those photos are from Flickr,...
collision-inspace asked: Can we use our own photos for submissions?
Someone wanna make us a EC logo...?
If so message us!
Since we're now using stock photos, should we...
Ohmygod. I don't understand Stock Photos. lol help...
Submissions are open again!
AND WE’VE STARTED USING stock.xchng!
Members of EC, you can use this stock site, or another one. But please no Flickr!
leatherbits asked: How about people post their OWN photos along with their own confessions. That would be an easy way to clear things up... :-)
Anonymous asked: Don't delete your blog, I love it so much.
Anonymous asked: i can relate to this blog so much. i really hope you find a solution to all this madness so this blog can stay. you are being sooo nice and polite to all the photographers whos work is on here and are upset. i just think the people who are upset right now should calm down for a moment and relize that if you put a picture on the internet, its going to get moved and used other places for difrent...
live-pretty-die-young asked: please don't delete this blog. its one of my favorites and its nice to read the confessions I can relate to.
Anonymous asked: Not only must you credit all photos you use, but you can't just take anything that doesn't say you can't use it. If it's not specifically labeled as free stock, you need to ask the owner/photographer permission to alter photos and post them here and wait for a reply saying you can do so. Otherwise what you're doing is most definitely illegal. I second the idea of sticking...
zayns-voice asked: please don't delete your blog, they're just trying to scare you. SO many people actually STEAL these pictures and don't give an OUNCE of credit, while you give credit and have a credit bar on your blog. maybe just be a bit more specific with giving credit back in the post, but PLEASE ignore the hate & keep your beautiful blog!<3
Anonymous asked: "It is the internet and photos should not be posted online if you don’t want them used." So your trying to say that all photographers shouldn't share there photos online because kids like you will come around, steal our photos, alter them, and then post them without permission? We have a RIGHT to share our photographs because we are artists and want people to enjoy our work,...
