Feeding the copyright troll machine
« on: November 11, 2011, 02:38:14 PM »
 I just posted a short list on my blog, of companies that currently use picscout, not that these companies are all trolls ( some clearly are), but my feeling is that by doing business with them, it is just feeding the machine. As we all know Getty Image purchased picscout a few months back..

You can see the complete list here: http://palmbeachdns.com/wp/
Most questions have already been addressed in the forums, get yourself educated before making decisions.

Any advice is strictly that, and anything I may state is based on my opinions, and observations.

Wow, that is a long list.  How did you get the list of Picscout clients?  Was it on the Picscout website?  If so, they made it easy to boycott those companies.
