All I'm seeing is the front page with just a couple photos. Where are all the other ones, and are any of my shots on there (I seriously doubt it)? Just having one of my dumb moments... -P- Oct 06 06 11:54 am Link Oct 06 06 11:56 am Link Star wrote: Can we say "having your cake and eating it too"? Sure, I knew you could.

Didn't see any of my stuff there but I don't think I shoot anything sites like that would be interested in stealing anyway. Or I suck. Either way I think I'm safe.

They're sending crotch shots for his attention! Oct 06 06 12:09 pm Link Well Janet Jackson & Kate Moss are their clients too, damn , these guys must be good. Anybody know how to give their managers a heads up? somebody with clout's gotta exterminate/expose these vermin. Oct 06 06 12:19 pm Link losers... it's patetic Oct 06 06 12:19 pm Link Well he removed his images from his pic page on Myspace I think. When you click on the picture you are redirected to another site. Oct 06 06 12:23 pm Link I blasted theand had them kicked off MM last month. They've been trolling myspace and craigslist for months now. They had only supermodelson their main page in August. And then a cheesy promo page with 'no one knows me' hip hop artists trying to promote a celebrity model and talent conference. (Don't remember how much they were trying to charge) two emails for them [email protected] [email protected] That number AlloyOne gave has been in their castings along with another local Atlanta number. These guys don't have a clue... Oct 06 06 12:30 pm Link i just emailed google to let them know they are asking for charge backs by giving these losers a check out cart.... Oct 06 06 12:34 pm Link Well if anyone plans on taking any action I would probably take some screen shots or something before he gets a clue and removes the pictures like he is on Myspace. edit: Nevermind. He's not that smart. They're still there. Oct 06 06 12:35 pm Link I just posted a blog about it on my MySpace page to warn people (myspace.com/haylitabonita). I can send emails to everyone on his page (my friend has an auto-emailer/commenter, she she'll do it for me). Oct 06 06 12:37 pm Link I wonder if he's authorized to use that song on his page too, lol... Oct 06 06 12:47 pm Link The pics are bad to steal, but do you think he has rights to use the music on a commercial site either? If you want to get him on the run, email the RIAA. Oct 06 06 12:49 pm Link i see kimora lee simmons on his myspace. yet the photo is blurry. Oct 06 06 01:17 pm Link his page/site skills suck. "his" pictures.. where are THEY? I've only seen stolen work and shots I know "his" photographers didn't take! Can you say "GWC"? Bashing internet models, then using internet to scam wannabes?! As far as legal goes, he is representing that "his" photographers took the images that are in the slide show... wish he'd been dumb enough to crop off the logos/watermarks! this is listed right under the slide show... Moving Reality Modeling Management Group's photographers use the latest in digital photography equipment to produce quality images for the web. With the use of some of the best studio lighting available, they are capable of giving our clients quality images to use online as well as printed versions. hmmmm... "to produce quality images for the web" isn't that "internet modeling?! DUH! Oct 06 06 01:25 pm Link Movingreaility.com scam is sorta old news.

Oct 06 06 03:45 pm Link get a hold of the FTC (http://www.ftc.gov/)And file I Have A website Rip Off .It Was off the Air In Two hours Oct 06 06 03:51 pm Link THANKS MM'ers.... i have been emailed by 4 MM'ers today about this guy stealing one of my images taken of model shauna faith... i emailed him thru myspace... , he emailed me back in reply... with a story.... i said take down my pics regardless.

It's an image tracking service for photographers concerned about copyright violations on the internet. www.picscout.com Oct 06 06 07:29 pm Link Lora wrote: Too bad none of that stuff is his, except for the cheesy MovingReality banners.

(The fact that they advertise "monthly subscription" in the banner but have "one-year commitment required" in the fine print does not make me feel good about them.) Oct 06 06 07:46 pm Link who is this tool (moving reality)? How can anyone sleep at night that fleeces people like this guy? I don't understand people one bit sometimes. Internet Photographers? That's like calling Google "internet search" and the only authentic search is through an encyclopedia or dictionary for information. WTF. Are there people dumb enough to listen to tools like this? I've been doing design/photography/print primarily through the internet for about 6yrs. Does that make me an internet designer? Even though I network at events I attend like socials, parties, seminars, lectures etc. I prefer to never meet some of my clients in design. It works out perfectly. Oh and I contact my printers through email............Does that mean they aren't real printers either? WTF. Oct 06 06 08:10 pm Link ohh neato slide show thingy I found a much better one on the slideshow website. no silly stars, and just simple slide code. gues whos website has a spiffy new slidshow on the home page in responce to the comments about my page needed more focus onthe images??? So good things do come from thievery err well maybe try contacting the slide.com and let them know they are hosting images without permission??? http://www.slide.com/static/terms Oct 06 06 08:26 pm Link QuaeVide wrote: I have not used them. They partnered up with the SSA (Stock Shooters Assoc) to check abuses of Getty stock imagery and found tons. They seem quite legit. $15/month for 500 images seems pretty reasonable if you have a lot of licensed imagery on the net. I really don't think they're a scam or a poor service.

I bet if someone emailed saying they were moving there and would like to come in for an appointment they might give that up. They also have a silver and gold plan... Oct 06 06 09:02 pm Link Geeze, they didn't take any of my images..I'm gonna sue those up an comming entrepoormorons for lack of taste. Oct 07 06 12:05 am Link I recognize about 3 or 4 peoples work on the slideshowat the webpage that Lora mentioned (http://www.movingreality.com/StunningPortfolio.html), except for one piece by Michael Rosen, and another that I beleive might be Adrianne Aurora, but I don't remember the other peoples names. Everyone should check it out to see if your work is stolen and posted there. *** Addendum**** It seems as though they changed their slideshow to a youtube.com presentation since yesterday, so the peoples photos that were seen may not be there anymore.

Oct 07 06 05:05 am Link Moving Reality Modeling Management Group, 678 791-9230, 1221 Lenox Rd, Atlanta, GA 3033 The dummy posted his address. Oct 07 06 08:29 am Link Nope! Here's an instance where my non-edgyness keeps my pics outta the wrong hands. *whew* So far, anyway...but I don't do lingerie, so they wouldn't rip me off. Oct 07 06 10:46 am Link Can someone help me PLEASE.... Seems like this person http://www.movingreality.com/home.html has stolen some of my celebrity photos..... I just called the phone number and got no answer...... Can anyone direct me to either his MM site or a website that he has were images are posted...... I already checked out the link above I appreciate the help. Oct 08 06 11:21 pm Link Looks like he removed the slideshow and opted for a bad video of some chick with a great booty. Oct 09 06 12:47 am Link What a crappy site, the rap music is annoying all on its own. The comment that maybe he should steal some code since he's stealing pix is probably not bad advice. Oct 09 06 12:54 am Link Besides theft of images he is involved in fraud. Oct 09 06 02:48 am Link Saint John wrote: Uh... yeah, he's totally wearing the wrong shade of foundation. And his elbows are ashy. Yuck! Maybe that's why he has a picture of Shamar Moore as his main image on myspace. LOSER!! THanks for the laughs guys... Oct 09 06 03:03 am Link Success! Seems like the website registration company has removed the movingreality.com website! Movingreality.com website Oct 10 06 10:10 pm Link |
