This is lame beyond words. What's worse, the theft is so brazen I have to wonder how he ever thought he would get away with it. What up Billy? Did you want to get caught?
Not only is this blatant copyright infringement, but it's woefully unethical. I too wanted to give him benefit of doubt. But this is too obvious. Way too obvious.
For shame dude. That's just limp.

Im not trying to defend the guy but he doesn't exactly say the pictures are his. He says they are of a particular storm. Now granted they are displayed as though one could be lead to believe they are his and copyrights are cropped but Im leaving a little wiggle room.

If it were my photos that were being stolen, I do believe that I would take legal action against this person. We all love sharing photos of our chase encounters and experiences, and it would be totally ashame if we had to keep our copyrighted photos to ourself because of theft from such idiots. Is this Billy person actually a member? Maybe we should make this a private forum and only allow members to view. Therefore, only by registration can you see any of these photos.
Anyone think that is a good idea?

That would be a valid excuse Tyler if Billy hadn't removed the copyright marks.

Yeah but cropping off the copyright shows the intent. Gotta be pretty cool to do that. Guess his music fans won't know the dif.Jeremy Lemanski

yes
Its sicking that he did this, in his profile, it says met. student at OU. I have to wonder if that is true or if he has ever gone and chased at all? it appers all the tornado photos from a few days ago are stolen.
That is low, very low.Mike Peregrine

Doesn't really matter ... still copyright infringement. Any display, copying, distribution whatsoever without the copyright holder's express permission is unlawful. Whether or not he claims they are his, the intent is obviously to give the impression that they are ...Douglas Mitchell

What on earth was Billy G. thinking when he did this? :roll:Mike Hollingshead
I wonder what Billy's reply will be. Maybe something similar to the red light running. Get your posts in now before the mods shut it down!

Sad....just sad :x
I haven't even chased/posted pics this year and still, I was quite upset when I saw this. I just could not believe what I was seeing. Of all the 'stolen' pic/vid stories I've heard, this, by far, has been the most blatant.
This is just as 'low' as the 'yahoos' who are out there creating dangerous situations for emergency personnel/law enforcement and other chasers.- Status
