I HATE it when people steal images! How very pathetic!

Plus he has pictures of himself holding a camera. Why does he have one if he doesn't shoot his own stuff? LoL

He does (supposedly), but they suck.

Usually people let you know, especially if they are a fan of your work...

I do apologize about the mix up with the photos.

mix up?  it looks like images were taken without PERMISSION and posted online and possibly printed flyers.  doesn't look like a 'mixup'  looks like you f*cked up.

I'm guessing you expected warm hugs, bible stories and a unicorn ride?
What kind of reaction WERE you expecting?!

It's interesting how it's always the 'designers' fault.  but you realize that regardless of who designed it... who it was designed FOR is liable.  You should check your sources better.  And to catch ya up to speed , so ya know for next time :
if a photo isn't yours, you can't do anything with it.  Ever.
There, that should cover it from here on out.

I didn't have my photos on there, but how abouts you take whatever money you made for the past 2 months and send that to the photographers , whose work you stole.  That should about cover it.

your 'designers' also take care of your myspace as well?  because they're up there too.

Take the hit.

Quoted text from your brownstyle.net contact page - "RobStyles (PHOTOGRAPHER | Sr. DESIGNER)"

It's obvious who has the responsibility to make sure you are running a tight ship.

I've noted all images have been removed per my first post and I'm satisfied with our communication off of MM.

Let's do right by each other in the future.

I bet the photographers who's pictures you are stealing here would like to know as well.

None of the above ads were created by anyone in our company. If there is a issue feel free to contact me.

No, of course you didn't.  You thought you could just steal pictures and nobody would notice.  But then you got caught.

Robstyles Photo wrote:

Bullshit.  Every single time someone gets caught they make this claim.  You want to be believed?  Publish the name and contact data for the "designers" who stole the photos and used them.  Make them accountable, in public, for what was done.

I'm sure you won't do this, in no small part because "the designers" are you.  But you don't want to admit it.

I have a better idea.  Post the names and contact data for the people you claim are responsible.  Post them right here.  Go on record with a specific, checkable accusation.  Let's see who is really responsible.

Robstyles Photo wrote:

Again, bullshit.  If there really are such "web designers" (they do your Myspace page, do they?) they ought to be both publicly identified and fired.  There is no "working with" after this kind of image theft.

For all your "apology", you are not taking personal responsibility for what patently is your responsibility.  You are just trying to shift blame to some other, unnamed person so you don't have to admit to your own theft.

Your account here should be deleted.

Me and Bruce Talbot have rectified the situation.

I am open to having a meeting with anyone that would like to discuss an outside matter.

If there is a issue with me or my website feel free to email me directly @ my email stated above and we can work it all out.

But what you will NOT do is identify the persons you claim are responsible, here, in public.

It's just fine for you to publicly steal other people's pictures, but not fine for you to own up to it fully in public?

Robstyles Photo wrote:

Almost.

Although images have been removed, perhaps "Take the hit. " in my earlier post was too subtle.

You've not disclosed who is responsible for 'providing' you with my images.

You mean lock the thread for "outing?"
The subject admitted to it, so it's a moot point now.
