About copyright violation notices

I have over 42,000 posts on my blog, and the vast majority of those are reblogs from other blogs.


I clearly state in my blog description that if someone has a copyright assertion they need to make, that they should contact me directly AND INCLUDE THE LINK to the post in question.


That direct link helps in two key ways:



  1. It enables me to get to the specific post with the infringing material and delete it.

  2. Because I mostly reblog, that direct link will reveal in the notes, which blog ORIGINALLY POSTED THE INFRINGING MATERIAL


Sending me a blanket “you have posted our pictures on one or more of your blogs, delete them ALL or else” does absolutely NOTHING to help. At all. Which pictures? Which blogs? Did I post it or reblog it? What is the URL?


Help me to help you. You don’t need to threaten me, many of my followers will attest to the fact that I have publicly posted in favor of supporting the content producers wherever possible, and have blackballed several blogs known for blatant contempt of copyright.
