Not Models? How offensive!
I just found pictures of myself and other amazing artists on this terrible website. Who do these "nodels" people think they are? I for one am very upset that my art is being thought of as a joke! They have a ton of pictures of other mayhem artists here as well. This is BS! Here is the website link http://nodels.tumblr.com/ Mar 21 11 10:29 am Link LOL. I Mar 21 11 10:29 am Link i guess its kinda funny until you find your own work there.... then maybe not so much.. Mar 21 11 10:35 am Link Lighten up. It's just someone's opinion. I'm free to make my own and think that your image isn't bad at all. And if you didn't smirk at at least one of those image, then you don't have any sense of humor at all. Mar 21 11 10:38 am Link hahahhahahha that's the best site Mar 21 11 10:38 am Link This is awesome. *bookmarks* Mar 21 11 10:43 am Link I guess that once something is on the Internet, it is fair game for anyone to poke fun at.

Reason: violates rules Comments: Let's not critique or make fun of other MM member's photos, OK? Mar 21 11 10:44 am Link Consider the mentality it takes to create, maintain, and/or participate in a forum/blog/site with the sole intention of insulting and mocking other people... all in relative obscurity. Then take a deep breath. Perhaps log off the internet for a while. Take a walk. Have some fun. Kiss your kid/bf/gf/mom/dad/cat/dog/friend/stranger/etc. And try to ignore the trolls and asshats of the internet. Mar 21 11 10:46 am Link I have to say, I looked at many of those pics and thought,....WTF is that, anyway? Mar 21 11 10:47 am Link artmodel Peter C wrote: Actually it is not. I post the images on MM for people visiting MM to view. I did not submit the St. Patrick's day shot they stole off my port here to their web site to display. I will deal with them very soon. Mar 21 11 10:48 am Link Over the past year or two, there's been a rash of people setting up similar sites. I find them pretty annoying, pointless, and juvenile, but there's not much to do but ignore them. If somebody gets off on making fun of strangers on the internet, I can't stop them.

Mar 21 11 10:57 am Link It's actually a violation of copyright for anyone to use your images without permission. If you don't want your pictures up on someone's site, email them and tell them to take them down. If you notice, every time you post an image on MM, there's a field allowing you to indicate who the copyright holder is. The moment you create an image, it becomes copyright-protected under U.S. law. An image to which you hold the copyright is your property, and people who use it without your express permission are violating the law, with the potential for monetary damages. Mar 21 11 11:00 am Link I don't care what any of you say, there's some funny shit on there and if you get butthurt over having some of your stuff show up there you need to grow a sense of humor. Hell, I might submit some of my own just to see what kind of captions they come up with. Mar 21 11 11:00 am Link It looks to me as though the OP is advertising a website rather than complaining about one. I mean, had it been me, I wouldn't have posted the link to it...just sayin'... Mar 21 11 11:01 am Link hmm, didn't know that the pic I posted was by a MM member Sorry! Mar 21 11 11:04 am Link Like most of these sites, it's not all bad modeling, some of it is just bad photography. I'm always surprised I never come across any of my images on any of them.

Mar 21 11 11:09 am Link DoubleDare Studios wrote: Yeah...this. Mar 21 11 11:09 am Link Well, they might be able to make the argument of fair use. Displaying a portion of a work (or in some cases a complete work) for purpose of parody or critique is considered fair use under US copyright law. They could make the argument that making fun of a work is in fact a critique or commentary on the work. Whether this site meets that bar would likely be up to the courts to decide (or the hosting site in the case of a DMCA takedown request...). http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_a … /chapter9/ Mar 21 11 11:11 am Link Good Egg Productions wrote: It's certainly given me something entertaining to watch that I hadn't known about, now I have to follow it just to see if (when) it goes away. And no I don't think they should be doing it, they're quite naughty and I'll sign a petition protesting this sort of thing. Mar 21 11 11:13 am Link I like the term, but shouldn't it be NOTels? Ha ha ha Mar 21 11 11:13 am Link I feel kind of ripped off, none of my stuff is on the site. I guess that is a good thing though, considering some of the comments. I hope the guy isn't reading this thread. I'll leave quietly now. -Don Mar 21 11 11:14 am Link I didnt see any of my work there.... I am not sure if I should be relieved or insulted... Hmm...

I am trying to get back into modeling after having a baby so I created this new one and just got approved yesterday. It is sheer coincidence that I found this "nodels" site the same day!
