If any of you agree with the law..idk what to tell you. If it's on the internet it shouldn't even be yours anymore. People calling them unprofessional is funny since everything in this world is out to rip you off, get over it, and shit happens.

Pretty much this. If OP contacted MLG instead of posting it on TL he would have been offered a polite explanation/apology with compensation. Instead he pulls this publicity stunt. I hope he gets nothing but an empty apology.

This thread is stupid, I'm sorry (not really). You're acting like MLG has violated your rights as person. I can understand the sentiment of you feeling slightly irked. You should of just sent an email to MLG asking them why they didn't ask you for permission and let them know next time you won't be so kind and expect some sort of recognition or compensation.

Instead your going to sit on your self-righteous chair; pretending to have never illegally downloaded music, never watched illegally downloaded porn. Torrented or limewire'd anything.
Of course you most definitely never used megaupload or played BW on iccup server.

I can appreciate your sentiment, however making this thread was wrong.
Yes MLG should of asked you, am I upset that they didn't?
Not anymore.

So actually Teamliquid has all rights to your photo, this is assuming you did post this in SC2General, as a poster above me did say.

Actually Teamliquid could request compensation lol.


So OP stop being a complete doucher and offer a reasonable price, but now they probably won't give you a penny.



Please state where the OP asked for money, any amount. Or you're making up false information to support your venting and calling someone a "doucher".

Sorry but you are a really bad person (I would like to insult you a lot more, but you are not worth my ban).

HE HAS THE RIGHT TO CALL ON MLG.

And I want to be informed about this kind of issues that aren't resolved as we all expected.

If any of you agree with the law..idk what to tell you. If it's on the internet it shouldn't even be yours anymore



OMG! OMG!

And MLG wants people like this to pay 20$ for a ticket. SC community fail.

If I'm not mistaken, by mirroring the picture, they bypass your copyright because it isn't the same picture then. You can do this with movies to bypass their copyright.

Of all people its sheth lol...you should take notes from him and learn to just accept it and smile. Its a bjit unfortunate a)they didn't ask you b)didn't pay you etc but at the end of the day its just a picture and they're trying to push a game you love.

He doesn't need too...not unless it was taken at a private event where it was explicitly stated that photographs were not allowed by the media or general public...if you're in public and at a public event you have no control over what photographs are taken of you.

You could potentially find the photo poster and ask it be removed from a site, but in this case why would Team Liquid want to remove the photo in any case? It's not a negative photo, it's not being used in a slanderous way and frankly it promotes the team for free.

Concerning MLG taking the photo...eSports is in its infancy regarding media ethics. It's a mistake and hopefully they can just learn from it and give you compensation and credit for the photograph. eSports really doesn't have true journalistic ethics on both sides, MLG and news sites that report on it, and it's going to take some time to get to a level of professionalism that exists in mainstream sports.

TL;DR, you can be photographed without your permission in PUBLIC (and likely are every day in the camera phone age) and MLG at the very least needed to site the SOURCE of the photo.

Actually, I think it was MLG that asked for 10k from the OP for the privilege of having his photo shown uncredited on stream.

Just something I heard. You know, from sources n' stuff.


My source also confirms that the OP asked MLG for 10k for the MLG/OP situation. Another sources informs me that I am handsome.

ESFI just posted an article quoting an annoymous confidant of yarkO who said "No way he's handsome. My god, yarkO is the ugliest person alive and he is also a genocidal maniac."

yarkO was never contacted in the creating of this story. Submitted to reddit. Also, give me 10k.



Your 10,000 (eSport) dollar check is in the mail along with my sources.
When you are prepared, there's no such thing as pressure.

If they can prove they altered the image more than 30% I'm pretty sure it's not copyright according to law. (i.e cropping a large part and reflecting the image like they have).

I have to agree with this. The OP never said anything about financial compensation. Everyone who's going after him for asking for credit taking the photo needs to relax.

It would cost MLG absolutely nothing to give this guy credit for the photograph, and that alone might be valuable to the OP as a reference for work at some point.


how bad would the stream look if each photo had a photo credit underneath it.

I'm by no means a professional photographer, nor do I know any, but I find it hard to sympathize with the photographer on this issue. It seems to me that if you go to an event and take awesome pictures, you shouldn't guard them jealously after the fact but instead share them with the world and be happy whenever they pop up anywhere.

I can understand being annoyed that they aren't crediting you in any way for the picture, but if it were me I'd feel a sense of satisfaction that they're using a picture I took as part of their production.

Ok, another post like this. Where are you getting your facts? Please quote or post a reference to where the OP asked for any money at all. Thanks!
