LITEROTICA PODCAST
LIT CAMS (200 Free Tokens)ADULT TOYSVOD MOVIES

Feedback on new policy announcement.

To all my friends on Lit:

I enjoyed posting my personal pics on Lit for others to enjoy. I received wonderful comments from so many that I now consider to be friends. The guys obviously found sexual pleasure in viewing them.

All my pics were deleted without warning or explanation. It hurts.
NONE of my pics were nudes. At worst, I posted some lingerie shots. I carefully obeyed all the Lit posting rules. My pics were all my own.

I see many posts on Lit that are sexually explicit, including videos of sex acts, obviously copied from other sites, and in clear violation of Lit guidelines. Those are still up and continue to be posted.

The question is now one of TRUST. If Lit can delete anything anyone posts, even if within the rules, who would bother posting? Since it can all be done without warning and with just a click or two...

Thanks for all your lovely comments on my pics, I love you all.

….and somehow that is good? It’s a site about adult sex. But treat us like we are in [redacted]? Totally dumb.

Also dumb? The reference you made in your post on an adult sex site.

I haven’t given any indication as to whether or not I think the full sweeping change is good or bad. But, change is absolutely needed. Clarification is needed. People should 100% be ONLY posting images that BELONG to them.

Pages and pages and pages of graphic images just found all over the web are not what makes this site great. The stolen images uploaded by catfish do not make this site great. The stories do. The forum discussions do. The original works of art do. AmPics does (aside from the catfish, but the mod does a great job of removing them when discovered).

Ah, nothing like trying to prove a point by posting images that are subject to copyright protection. Unless, of course, @Celand and @nice90sguy went to the Museums where the paintings are held and took the photographs yourselves?

An excerpt from an Omni Legal Group blog written by Omid Khalifeh…

“Copyright law is designed to protect the rights of creators over their original works. However, the rules can vary depending on how long it has been since the artwork was made. For example, if an artist like Pablo Picasso created a painting, that work is protected by copyright for a certain period after his death. Since Picasso passed away in 1973, his works will be under copyright until 2023, 50 years after his death, or until 2023 plus an additional 20 years in some places.

But what about works that are much older, like da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, painted in the early 1500s? Since da Vinci died in 1519, his works are now in the public domain, meaning anyone can use, reproduce, or modify them without seeking permission. This is because copyright laws only last for a specific time period, usually the artist’s lifetime plus an additional 70 years or so, depending on the country’s laws.

For more contemporary works, the situation is different. An artwork created today is automatically protected by copyright as soon as it is created, and the copyright lasts for the life of the artist plus an additional 70 years. So, if you were to take a photo of a modern painting or create a digital reproduction, you would need to get permission from the artist or their estate to use or distribute it legally.“

@AngelicaS1780, in copyright law for written work there is a "fair use" thing that allows people to discuss this work by quoting small bits without permission. Is there not a similar exception to allow people to discuss art works that are under copyright by including small screen shots of the work in question?

It would require proper attribution for starters, and not trying to pass it off as your own

No pics of sexy birds unless they are clothed.

We get it. You've breached a rule somewhere and lost your picture posting privileges.

If you keep derailing every thread continually making it about your personal situation then you will lose a whole load of goodwill.

Message Laurel or Manu directly. No one posting on this thread, or indeed, any other thread can do anything to actually solve the problem I'm afraid.

If you and others want to discuss it as a specific issue, maybe start a dedicated thread?

What if we blur out the sexy parts? I'd love to see a pictorial of a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker going to town on a Red-Knobbed Coot.

Yes, those are real birds. And yes, I'm the kind of guy who looks that stuff up.

You guys are tempting me. You are making me want to do something that is against the rules. You are tempting me to draw explicit avian nudity, up close so I can get better definition when I have to change the size of the photo so the site can use it. I say photo because I draw the image on my cell phone or my tablet and then save it as a photo because I don’t know how to save things as scans yet so I save it as a photo and then send that to my files where I change the size of it and turn it into a medium size PNG. The drawings are actually better than they appear by the time you get to see them because of that. To clarify, I do not take photos of naked people or naked birds or naked, anything and post them as naked images on my thread or elsewhere. I might use photos as reference, but I do not post photos. Boy I feel like I have to be really defensive now. Oops! I lied. I have taken photos of peonies and perhaps trees and there was that recent one of a hole in a bed of moss and posted those. And this was without their consent. I feel that I must exhibit complete transparency here. Not that the website owners are being transparent in the least, but I won’t compromise my principles regardless.

There's the new nudity policy, and then there's the implementation of it.
