Yesterday I posted about how Al-Qabas are stealing pictures from local flickr users. Turns out the university magazine, Cruise Campus stole not 1 picture but 14 pictures for one of their covers!! Someone should tell them that combining 14 pictures into 1 doesn’t make a new copyright free image. Whats funny is when one of the photographers called them to complain, they told him they got the pictures from a CD which they got off Al-Watan newspaper. [Link]
If you turn to page 48 of todays issue of Al-Qabas newspaper (March 27), you will see a lanscape picture of Kuwait taken by Cajie, an extremely talented amateur photographer. The problem is, Al-Qabas used his picture without his consent. They didn’t email him or try to contact him to seek permission to use his picture. Instead of trying to support a local amateur photographer by at least crediting him, they instead resorted to stealing his picture and not giving him proper credit. Here is the original picture [Link]
Also turns out this is not the first time Al-Qabas have stolen a picture from a flickr user, here is another example. [Link]
And thats not all! Here is even another example! [Link]
If any reader knows someone at Al-Qabas please bring it to their attention that what they are doing is wrong.
I was just checking out some pictures off the set of the new Rambo movie and I am guessing there is going to be a lot of retouching and airbrushing before the movie gets released. Sylvester Stallone is really looking old, check out the shot in which he is topless. [Link]
Just saw a rendering of what the new Land Cruiser might look like, hope its nothing like this because it looks like an ugly version of the Touareg. [Link]
Had a minor problem with the site but everything is back to normal. If you posted a comment today its gone since I had to revert to yesterdays back up of the site. Forum will be back up tomorrow.
update: Forum is now back up
just found information on the training the actors went through to get physically built for the movie 300. I thought all the abs were rendered or airbrushed but turns out it was all real. Check out this site for details on their training and watch the video below. [Link]
