FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives

I don't showcase my photos on a site. Don't want to maintain it. Most of my photos are not of children, the ones on the site are of people that I know so I wouldn't need a model release to show on the site. My photos are mostly of adults at various local events that I attend myself. If you want to take photos of the kids at a sporting event you can ask the parents first, it will not hurt the shot. If the event is held on private pro[erty you may have to work out a deal with the property owner that will allow you to shoot there.
Speaking of young kids and creaps, yes I'm sure that this would be an opportunity for a sicko to pray on children. Make no mistake that taking the photos is not what made him a sicko, he was simply looking for the best way to be a sicko without being caught. Not to start a huge debate here but it is much like the catholic church deal...... The church didn't create the predator, the predators find the church as the best way to to conduct themselves the way they want without being detected.
This morning I took my boy sledding at a local hill. I brought my cam to shoot him. I asked other parents that were there if they wanted a shot or 2 of there own children. I took some and will wait for a response. I took photos of 5 diff kids. 4 are really good and one isn't really. If I sell them all I will make $50-$100 for doing something that I was already doing. Time will tell
Best of luck in your ventures,
Jason

PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
