So, how many readers of my blog here have also sneaked a look at the Spanking Writers Tumblr site, which I’ve been enjoying updating with rather surprising regularity? If so, do you like it – and what types of images (from the 600+ I’ve posted so far) do you enjoy?
I’m provoked to ask as a result of an email exchange with my lovely, long-standing friend F. In three consecutive emails during a morning discussion last week, she commented as follows:
I got in trouble for looking at your pretty pictures (tumblr) when I was supposed to be working from home. He seemed to think that recreating certain acts from the pictures would be a fitting punishment…
😉
He has now banned me from looking at the pictures when I’m meant to be working, which is of course just making the whole thing even more tempting… *sigh*…
It *was* rather hot getting in trouble for looking at the pictures, especially the line ‘not so fun when it’s happening to *you*, is it?’… mmm…
Mmm indeed. Given how adorable the young lady in question is, as a person and to play with: mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, even. The thought of her “getting into trouble” as a result of me posting naughty photos is just *so* hot – and actually, rather fun, too!
Look, can you explain to me this tumblr thing. There’s lots of delicious porn tumblrs on the net, includng yours of course, and it’s like nobody cares for copyright anymore. It’s not that I mind, I do love my free porn, but lot’s of responsible porn freaks who usually say that free porn is like free lunch (i.e. nonexistent) update their tumblrs with pics from paysites or other tumblrs like there’s no rules and no tomorrow. Again, I don’t mind. I just fail to grip the etiquette of that.
And BTW, thanks for you tumblr, lot’s of really really really naughty pictures there.
Hi, S.K.
You raise an interesting point about copyright. It is an issue that lurks at the back of my mind with my Tumblr site, and I guess I have a few thoughts:
– I try very hard indeed not to include any images that are marked as being subject to copyright, or that evidently come from pay sites (e.g. with watermarks or site names superimposed on the photo).
– I’m not actually *publishing* any content myself on the site – in ‘reblogging’ I’m effectively posting links to material that others have uploaded to tumblr already.
– if anyone ever wants me to take an image off my pages because it’s theirs, then I’d of course do so without discussion / hesitation.
But yes, it’s a slightly uncomfortable area.
Knowing how paysite feel about having their content stolen I can say that reposting photos IS the best way of publicity for them.
Most of the photos coming from paysites have copyright notices/watermarks on them which means that whomever downloads them will know where it came from and is free to go there and become a member to get access to more.
Its the sharing of videos that hurts paysites the most.
Personally I would repost photos with watermarks with less hesitation that the one without it!
@Abel, you really seem to be enjoying the idea of your naughty site getting a girl into trouble too much LOL Shame on you 😛
thanx, that was useful.
it’s just that the same arguments – like “reposting, not publishing”, and “I take it from site by request” – failed in all the previous blogging systems like livejournal and so on.
it’s just the magic of new media, the fashion, I think. you know, it was the same when Facebook came to Russia. before, LIbejournal was really big and there was a huge etiquette issue, the main thing being anonymousness. To break it, to connect a nickname to a real person was an unforgivable faux pas, forbidden by TOS. And then the same really paranoid people came to Facebook under their real names and started posting their children’s photos – just because it was a new fashinable media with new rules. It was kind of funny.
